what Port would want (and will get) we dont have to give simple as that, dont get your hopes up ppl. Burgoyne went for picks 9 & 16, Boak has more currency..
Possibly but Hawthorn were very aggressive in the trade period and gave 25 and 41 for Gibson which may have been a bit overpriced so Port seeing this and knowing the Hawks were willing to offload Williams they waited until all those deals were done and got the most out of the Hawks there too.
Put simply I felt we should have kept our mouth shut and not shoot off our intentions. Clubs may have assumed we might have been aggressive but knowing that we are now may incline them to ask too much for a trade much like the Hawks did last year. Nevertheless I still feel Tambling and a third round pick that can get bargained to a second round pick can be agreed upon for Boak.
One question what about the pre season draft with us finishing last. Do we get first pick in December or does GC if assuming no club does a trade and he falls through the Novermber draft also.
nah no chance tambling and our 2nd pick would get it done tucker, Boak is a seriously good talent and his worth has gone up from the pick 5 (or whatever it was he was taken at). They'll want first rounders and clubs like collingwood who are locked and loaded will move heaven and earth to get them to port.
as for the PSD, im not sure, but bottom line is they can get 16 uncontracted players and they would be well within their rights to use them up before we get our 1st pick if I'm not mistaken.
and I agree we should not be signalling our intentions
. In 05 and 06 did the hawks bang on about not wanting to pay wallace and eade 600k per season instead opting to put that money into the footy department? No they didn't, they kept their mouths shut, took ther medicine and just backed clarko continuously saying he was the right man for the job, once they won the premiership they turned around and sad this is what we did, now suck it up. smart operators the whoreks
