Channel 7's Tom Browne is reporting that Essendon's Patrick Ryder has chosen Port Adelaide as the club he wishes to be traded too and the announcement will be on Monday. The Herald-Sun is saying Port is willing to offer him a five-year contract and has indicated a willingness to give up a player and a first-round draft pick in a trade deal with Essendon.
Bloody hell! Port are going to be very tough to beat next year. First round pick and a player though 
The player would want to be a good average toiler otherwise I would suggest that they are paying overs.
According to SEN, Collingwood's Scott Pendlebury has today met with Adelaide's Patrick Dangerfield with his manager Paul Connors also in attendance.
Collingwood aren't the attractive destination they once were. I would be surprised if Dangerfield moved there. Beams is not the same caliber as Dangerfield imo
the player will be steak knives and their 1st rounder is what pick 15 or 16.
they need a ruckman and ryder is a very good one but is also a capable fwd. good clubs keep on evolving for the better average clubs like us sit on our hands and do nothing too scared to take a risk.
hmm dangerfield or beams. personally id take beams, more substance to beams. flashy players dont win me over so easy. which one has had the better career to date. id argue beams.both have been great. beams is easily in the same class as dangerfield.
i wonder is it because hes at collingwood that tiger supporters put the blinkers on. both would add enormously to us.
geez beams to brisbane ryder to port danger will stay in adelaide.
