Port will receive a second-round draft selection – currently pick No.27 – as compensation.
This is for Amon going to Hawks.

Pick 53: Jack Graham
- Thread starter puregreen
- Start date
I only trade if it involves pick 8, I'd even consider pick 12 & Graham for pick 8 & the Amon pick. Need to creep into the Jefferson range, very doable.
Graham and Soldo being a little undersold I reckon. Might not be elite stars but they are good AFL quality footballers, both coming to into their prime with premiership experience and are quality people.
Just hope we don’t get bent.

Getting Taranto and Hopper and positioning ourselves for next years draft has to be the priority.
Hopefully Jack and 30 to Adelaide, which club he supported growing up, for their future 1st.
I still think the effectiveness of Jack Graham has been reduced since the rule changes.
Pressure role players D Rioli (fwd), Castagana & Graham all had their effectiveness curbed when SHocking deliberately opened up the game.
These type of high intensity roles also have a shelf life given their thankless nature.

GWS might prefer a future 2nd rather than a 2nd this year. With the shallow draft and so many picks early they might prefer to hedge their bets over the two years
Bullus how about Young from the vfl.
Young reminds me of our Captain and looks ready, while investing in next years draft rather than this one may provide better options.
Agree about the players like George, whose poor disposal becomes more of a problem under the stand rule. And Jack who has been great but whose lack of agility has possibly made him less effective.
Are you suggesting though that this rule will be changed.
Hope you are right but the AFL seems to be congratulating themselves now on just how great a game they have created!
The talk I have heard is that Junior Rioli is a higher priority for Port and the Amon compo is likely to go in that direction.
It might sound overs, but I’d ask Port for their future first for Graham and maybe a later future pick of ours to make weight.

I love JG, and he will always be Richmond royalty to me, absolute class act, on and off the field, but,
Can't see a world were JG stays at tigerland
What's he on $450-500k ?
Not sure he gets a game ahead of Ross or Sonsie, and what are they on ? $ 200k ?
Especially when his one wood is tackling and pressure, and we are getting Hopper and Taranto who do that, and get 10 clearances, and about 10 more disposals pg than JG
We will probably get unders for him, but, the players around him have improved, and he may end up being a not best 22 player coming out of contract next year, and this will be really bad for his long term financial security.
Reckon he is gone, and it will be with our blessing, that's how we roll.

I would do that if he really wanted to go but if i am Blair im holding out for pick #8 for Graham + #30
Already done when he toured
Port save costs as they cant keep flying players around
* Hinkley grabbed his nuts and asked him to cough - Medical Done
