I find it absolutely incredible this bloke wants to leave the Eagles for Port Adelaide after what he’s put his club through with the drug testing saga and subsequent 2 year ban which the Eagles stood by him all the way.
Is there something we don’t know? Perhaps the Eagles have deliberately low balled him and are happy to see him go? You Eagles fans must be just as miffed as I am.
Have to agree, poor form on his behalf.
not sure they low balled him the offer was 2 years, if they wanted him gone you wouldn’t have offered him 2 years
next question what’s he worth as port would have trade for him or try and risk getting him in the pre season draft
Mixed emotions from this Eagles supporter. He certainly owes the club big time, but if he’s not happy, then let him go. That would be best for him and the club. If he’s not happy, he’s got to be sure that Port will fill the gap. Gotta be worth their pick 8 as a trade.
58 Riolis manager wants a 4 year deal.
Junior family live on the TiWi islands.But his partner lives in Adelaide.
Port and the Eagles have a good history of trading.Eagles have hinted a future second round pick.Port are thinking pick 51 a 3rd rounder.
Eagles want Mitch Georgiades of Port.Rioli might be the steak knives.
There’s also some talk that Lycett could end up back at West Coast.Hes been injured most of this year.
Port have been chasing Dunkley of the Western Bulldogs .
Collingwood approached Port last week about Grundy.Offered to pay $300,000 of his million dollar contract.If Port took him of Collingwoods hands,3 year contract.
Trade month looks exciting this year.
Maybe Nizzy could offer puffin Willy a $1000 gift card from Cloud 9 to convince him to stay.
So Junior Rioli is on his way to Port, maybe the Eagles can wrest Georgiades (??) out of their hands for him. Looks like Eagles have thrown their hand in for Jackson from Melbourne. Hope they use a bit of common sense and restraint and not do a Tim Kelly to get him again. Nic Nat has a 2 year deal, wtf? Should have been a 1 year deal, then a further 1 if they can keep him on the track.
Port won’t want to give up Georgiades but if the reports of $600k a year then something has to give and the fact that they have committed to take Rioli could this be the Eagles version of the Dockers/Weller deal getting more than you should because they have over committed to the deal.
Definitely agree with the Jackson deal, potential is a scary word in footy especially when giving up two first round picks. All will depend on what Jackson wants to do with his footy. If he wants to be the main man and lead the ruck West Coast would be the right choice or if he’s happy playing forward and pinch hitting in the ruck over the long term then Fremantle would be the go. Not worth anymore the 650k to 700k a year on a 4 year deal
Spot on 58S. Should have offered NN a year see how he goes then offer another one. He wouldnt go anywhere anyway.
Who place needs a cleanout, starting with Nisbett
Agree fully Unk, I think Trev’s use by date is well past. They need some fresh leadership.
CBAG, Jackson had a stand out year in 2021, but (I thought) an average one this year. Not worth selling your first born for him.
