It's weird, it doesn't change the needle for them at all.

I don’t mind it. For us. That exhausts Port of Picks.
We have picks 69, 72 &/or 75 for sale to Port - for a F3.

Bold assumption that this won't still occur.

Western Bulldogs list boss Sam Power will scour the AFL scrapheap to find a ruckman after granting Jordon Sweet?s wish to be traded to Port Adelaide.
Sweet joins former Tiger and fellow big man Ivan Soldo in a new-look Power ruck division after they sent pick 50 to the Bulldogs for the lightly played big man on Wednesday.

Sweet as brother
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Early Trade Rumours 2023
I just wonder how many more player deals might get done if clubs didn't have to go through the charade of points accumulation?
Mid season trade period is apparently coming in for next season.

Is there a footy fan in the country that wants that? I hate the idea of sides at the bottom of the ladder dealing out their best talent to contending teams mid-season knowing they'll get a better deal than they would at the end of the year.
Imagine what Esava would've been worth to Port at round 12.

I know a few of people who think its a good thing because it's in line with what American sports do.
I don't like it because I'm sure it's going to be exploited.

I have asked the mods to close down the 'Sugar Free Zone'.
I am another marginal player will soon replace Jordon as 'the reason' we lost another close game...I look forward to round 3 2024 bu which time we will all know who that is...
RIP Lewis Young.
RIP Jordon Sweet
...Long Live the NEW KING!! (Soon to be named).

Rocco has been living the high life for well over a decade off the royalties from his Doogs Droogs, G'OK Rocks and Brennan Stack-a-go-go threads.

It might offer a nice counter balance to clubs getting effed in the A at trade time because a player nominated a club to be traded to.
Nobody's looking for a puppeteer in today's wintry economic climate.

Just let clubs trade players against their will. Problem solved.
