Thomas??? Would be 2nd in our B&F at the moment.
An indictment on our list that he is going that well. Is part of the problem not the solution.
Has anyone noticed the way he goes into a pack and doesn't even look at the ball?? Also has the Richmond habit of falling to ground at every opportunity

I wouldn't and we shouldn't be playing him unless absolutely necessary.  Certainly shouldn't be starting in the middle

Wouldn't be in Port Adelaide's top 30 players due all his fault's as a footballer.

Agree for the most part

Shane Edwards isnt our worst IMO

Bachelor has upside imo

Wake up Judge. His not only our worst but one of the worst in the competition

Currently a member of the Roupies, and employed by the great man Roup.

Im not saying there worf anything just saying that I would put up their names for trade. Agree that if Thomas is second in our B&F at this stage its a massive indictment on the club.

Every year we put names up for trade and no one is interested

We can do it again with the names you've floated and we ended in the same spot, no one being interested and people like you and me saying why don't we get serious about it
Teams have come for Batch and Edwards in the past. Vickery would get some interest and Grigg has been traded for before.  :whistle

Problem is our club will hold onto them. Nothing more certain than that.  :lol

I don't like trading young developing big men.  Elton is one of those. Played well against the Bummers in the praccy match.  Can play a bit this boy and has filled out quite a bit.  Looks like a man mountain now.
I would give him 2 more years before cutting.  Trade? Only if we get some really good for him which I doubt anyone will give for someone that has played one game.

I just don't see it with Elton. Has very questionable disposal IMO.
Think he's surplus to our needs and we might land something decent for him.
If the right deal came up I'd make the trade, otherwise keep.

so thats 7 your placing among the worst in the comp. because edwards is definately no better than those you mention. if we can get a trade for him we would be absolute mugs not to jump at it.

Yeh but they wouldnt. With no Vickery though, who would we use Jezza as a decoy for?

At least one of Lloyd goals came from an sEdwarss assist. He has good hands and often is creative and effectivty with the handball. He can crumb  and is a good forward pocket option. On the whole I don't think sEdwarda squibs it as often as the others.

Just IMO
