I thought we were grooming Cambo to replace Mattner, but I guess that still may be a few seasons away. I don't why we can't promise him a few games next year when we play GWS, GC and a few other weaker teams to show that we really have plans for him in our future. He's looked good in the ressies this year.Comment

Non-Tippett trading talk
Can't begrudge the guy wanting to play regular senior footy. Good luck to him, and good on Port for having the brains to look at some fringe players from the Premiership side.Comment

That Buchanan bump our little pebbles, the brute !!!!
Nothing like a good light bulb moment.Comment

Good luck to him, he wants it badly enough and will fight for a game, and we have trained him well, so what is he worth. What can we sell him for? I mean, its not exactly like he is used goods is he, fairly shiny still, kind of New Without Tags. More I think of it, the high the price goes. Sounds like I have heard that before, wonder where....If you've never jumped from one couch to the other to save yourself from lava then you didn't have a childhoodComment

Absolutely. He's a good kid, and deserves an opportunity. Unlucky for him that we've already got the best back line in the league. And that he'll have to learn that horrible song.Superman still wears Brett Kirk PyjamasComment

Am I correct in noting that we are the only club to not be active during Free Agency and Trade Week?
Tippett doesn't count because it won't get done tomorrow and let's assume it doesn't in the following scenario.
So our list is currently two off but another has to go (who?) to make the compulsary three list changes. We head to the ND with picks 23, 45, 67.
If Tippett is in the PSD and we still want him (not sure what the heirachy think now) and we think we can snare him as the last cab then we pass on ND pick 67. But if Tippett goes before our PSD pick what do we do?
I'm also concerned about our lack of depth if we have a bad run of injuries and/or if Mitchell and Rohan don't come up as expected.Comment

They traded Jordan Russell to Collingwood, but he would have been delisted anyway.
Waiting for the appearance of the first article to incorrectly name him Heath Campbell.Comment

Back to the Heath trade, one possible reason as to why the trade hasn't been consummated is that Port may be waiting to see if their wantaway player in Ben Jacobs can complete a move to his desired suitors North Melbourne, which would open up a spot on their senior list for Cambo. This is just a rough guess on my behalf as I'm not sure how many spaces there are currently on their list. Come to think of it, they have had Rodan, Surjan, Chaplin and Pearce leave their club already so space probably shouldn't be an issue.
Another possible reasons is that they are waiting for the completion of the Jacobs trade to see what late draft pick they will eventually flick to us, although to quash my own theory, clubs have announced the completion of a trade with the exact pick specifics to be finalised later.Comment

TDL linked to St Kilda, but again a deal might be dependent on whether the Saints can secure Mitch Brown from West CoastComment
