Pick 6 :gobdrop no brainer :nope
-
cmon...
I'm a big fan of knights but pick 6 for him? :banghead
-
With Pick 6? Absolutely NOT
-
No way for pick 6.
-
Not with pick 6, no way. Need a kid with that one.
-
In short Knights has class and power, can play forward or midfield, loves to run, carry and bomb from outisde 50. His stats for 2009 season are most impressive but has only managed 5 games for 2010.
Knights (23yo) has had hamstring trouble, his field kicking is pretty poor and as a result was taken out of the midfield rotations.
For pick #6, I think you should be certified and put away in a padded cell for season 2011.
-
Pick 6 should be for Gaff or Atley not Chris Knights.

Spot on especially that last sentence. If we were to trade away pick 6 then it would be back to our bad old days of recruiting :scream.
-
I said yes, but with our 2nd or 3rd pick ;)
-
Spot on. Gaff is the one id say.
not to say Atley wont be any good. Truth is none of us dont really know. Gaff is my preferred mainly because i cant bear to hear popelord and his i told you so's when Atley turns into a gun.

Yeh if we can still have pick six throw every thing at him :thumbsup but not pick six
if we get Knights and Gaff next season ..oh yeh :gotigers

So reading most peoples posts i think pick 6 is out, but what about with our secound pick? I would definately say yes to that. I think Knights is a very good footballer.

so our second pick and a player? i wwonder what other clubs will offer thats better than an offer from us.. unless west cost is willing to give a better pick but i doubt they would
-
2nd pick being ? - Def have to consider that.
-
No
-
Would take for a 3rd round pick or maybe a slight downgrade in 2nd round pick, that's all. If we gave pick 6 to Adelaide I'd want Tippett or Dangerfield, not Knights.
-
Pick six should not & cannot be used for any possible trade
End of story IMHO
Actually i would be hanging onto our 2nd round pick as well

would a second round player be better than Knighta?
-
Third rounder and that is it with a player like Polo.
Don't get sucked into Adelaide's games of not being to pleased about Bock not being a first rounder. Regardless of circumstance Knights only played a handful of games this year. Third round pick take it or leave it and we'll throw in a player or if we can get a third or a fourth party involved then even better.

Totally agree, throw Nahas in to.

Been in decline the past two years.
Player for player trade only.

I don't think our list is at a stag that we should be trading away picks for quite a few years to come. I can't think of one trade we have completed recently for picks that I think we have come out on top with so lets not try and bring in a ready-made players and just use the trades we have and develop them. Last years draft was a huge success IMHO because we didn't get rid of any of our picks and only did one player swap. Why wouldn't we wish to duplicate this success?
Players such as McMahon, Thomson and Hislop are now just clogging our list so even if we got them for free (which we certainly didn't) the trades were failures.
If we can get Knights for a players trade then I would be all for it (Tambling?) but otherwise I say no.

the smartest post i have read in a while.

Same with me, so long as we get another pick back from the Crows?

Agree with your post Stripes.
Interesting question though. Would you trade away Edwards for Knights? That's more in the ballpark of value on each side and is SA for Vic.
To me it's a very iffy trade since Knights is older and has more injury problems but is a bit larger and has shown better skills.
If you can't say straight out that you would do that sort of trade then IMO don't bother.
-
Obviously I'd prefer a player trade, but I could manage us using our 3rd pick. It's going to be around the 50 mark anyway.
Hopefully we can trade one of our defenders for another earlier pick, potentially in the Tarrant trade
Would NOT want to trade Edwards, not a chance and can't see it happening

Maybe, but probably not, I like the kid, can get stacks of the ball and isn't bad around the goals either. Would rather trade a player type we don't need.

Yet would trade Morton?
Not sure on this. Morton could develop into something really special next year.

Earlier this year I thought he was a good chance to be traded but certainly redeemed himself at the end of the year and would keep him now

CROW Chris Knights and Port Adelaide's Steven Salopek may be set to reject offers to return home to Victoria and re-sign by the end of the week.
Port Adelaide is increasingly confident it will keep its out-of-contract midfielder Salopek, who, like Knights, was sought by Victorian-based AFL clubs working the "go-home" factor.
Knights, who will be 24 on Grand Final day, could sign a new deal at Adelaide as soon as tomorrow.
That would keep the 2004 second-round draftee at Adelaide for his seventh season and add to his 75-game tally which was ruined this season by repetitive foot injuries.
Salopek, 25, has measured family issues and rumoured big offers from Essendon and Carlton.
The 2002 first-round draftee is not as advanced as Knights in closing a new deal with his club, but could have a contract in place at Port by next week.
-
Gee it's going to be boring then during the trade week isn't it.
-
Just the usual lots of rumours and innuendo but little action

Yeah true, then a couple of basement players shuffled around between clubs... all over.

Looks like it

ADELAIDE midfielder Chris Knights has ended any speculation of a return to his native Victoria by signing a new deal with the club.
Despite being limited to five AFL games this year because of injuries, Knights held off negotiations until recent weeks.
Upon returning from an overseas trip, the 24-year-old said he was pleased to have re-signed.
"I was keen to continue to be a part of the Adelaide Football Club. I can see success on the horizon, I love the environment and I've made close friends in the club," he said.
