    In fact let's match every club with every player leading up to draft and trade days and we can't go wrong.
    You're discrediting every news source someone reports on the forum. We get it that you don't rate the speculation.

    It would make a huge difference to their list. Motlop and Watts would be huge for their forward line. Rocky top's off their mids.
    If they get all 3 they really must rate their chances

    Re: Other clubs trade activity

    Port are missing something, but can never pin point it , I think it's culture and hardness, when they are in front and running they can beat anyone but once the game means something or it's built up or pressure is on they tend to crumble or find a way to lose.
    That soft underbelly seems to always be there.

    Id be interested to know if we enquired on all of those, and if they all preferred another club over ours.

    They did the same by taking palmer as part of a package of other parts last year and not giving up much in return
    Ditto North by taking Ahern last year, former pick 7 on a $300k pa contract extension who hadn't debuted. Got him for a late pick.

    It's not a bad strategy if you are rebuilding but more costly if you aren't

    I really liked that trade. Ahern was a jet junior and it's been proven many, many times over that two knee reco's does not end a career, or even hinder it in some cases.
