2/2 we needed more talent between 23-27, we ticked that box. Now I’m assuming we will attempt to get back into next years draft using our 2025 rd1 pick (more Burgoyne’s coming through F/S also)

Well done Crippa, CD & Parks!

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

1/2 Another cracking trade period by @PAFC

Out goes: Duursma, Future 1st, P41, P49

In comes: Ratugolea, Soldo, BZT, Sweet, P73, Future 4th x 2

Another quiet draft, but let’s not forget how well Port drafted from 2018 - 2020. Our u23 talent pool is elite.

@Ben_Cotton15 @FOXFOOTY Love this from @PAFC. Creates strong competition for spots. Any of those three would be thinking they can be no. 1 ruck at the club for the next 5+ years

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

Boom! One down, three to go 🙌 this pick up could be the best of the lot

[Callum Twomey @CalTwomey]

Richmond premiership winner Ivan Soldo will be traded to Port Adelaide today. A future second-rounder and pick 41 will head to Richmond as well as a swap of other selections. The deal is agreed. @AFLcomau @traderadio

Best tweet I’ve seen all day. Thanks @tommorris32 for curing todays anxiety 😅

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@Sammy__Edmund Hey Sam, at what point does an AFL mediation come into play? This is getting ridiculous - pick 32 was a more than fair offer for him last year, they held him to his contract. Fair play. This year, out of contract and still not best 22 and we’ve offered MORE. Come off it!

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

Duurs + Future 4th to ESS
BZT + 30 to Port

Pick 24 to GEEL
Esava to Port

Pick 48 to WB
Sweet to Port

Left with picks 30, 40 & 48 (1360 pts)

Offer to GC for picks 18 & 61 (1120 pts)

We get a 1st rd pick, they get points. Thoughts?? @tommorris32

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@TheoDrop @7NewsAdelaide Have I missed something here? Why is Harry Petty earning anywhere near that much? He’s a role player not a star player

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@DT_Zutchie His replacement is already in the 22, Bergman. With BZT & Sav coming in, he won’t be playing key back anymore. Bergman has better disposal, reads the play, can also rotate on ball with his bigger body. We also have Hugh Jackson & Jase Burgoyne sitting in the two’s developing well

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

I’m OK with losing Duurs. He has value. His form was not great the last two years. We are stacked for HB flankers who can play on a wing - Bergman, Farrell, Houston, Burgoyne could all play on a wing. Jackson plays wing and will get AFL games next yr. Sinn will play if not inj.

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

1/2 Duursma & pick 38 to Essendon for BZT & pick 28

Pick 28 & Future 3rd to Geelong for Esava

Pick 44 to WB for Sweet

Therefore keeping our future 1st rounder & back into the draft next year after two years of trading all our picks!

Thoughts @PAFC fans?

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@tommorris32 @PAFC @traderadio @1116sen They would want to be sending a 2nd round pick with BZT to get Duursma

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

This game has all the hallmarks of the greatest Grand Final of all time. Bring on the 2nd half #AFLGF

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

J. Horne-Francis 3 votes for a 13 disposal game vs Geelong in Rd14.

Dat you @kanecornes? 👀 😂

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@The_G_Funk_Era @RoweyandTimmyG Yep just like no one picked us the make the 8 this year (only internal expectations). My point is that Tredrea is massively over reacting and bagging his club, losing respect of the supporter base (with the exception of the Hinkley haters) in the process.

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@warrentredrea Sitting back waiting for your club to fail, super disappointing Tredders

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@RyanSimmonds23 Absolutely spot on!

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@anthonyalesiani I’m actually relieved. I think with Grundy pulling out, we won’t need to spend big $$ on a ruckman when we have Rozee, Butters & co needing huge contracts over next 1-2 years. Sounds like we’ll bring in Jordon Sweet who is ready to go & cheap! Plus I rate Visentini. We’ll be ok!

[positivepears @Positive_Pears]

@1116sen What if Michael Wilson wasn’t rubbed out of the 2007 Grand Final with a shoulder injury…
