Stevens has yo agree to any trade. Port would like to deal with Carlton but if Stevens says No, they cant. The game is that Stevens can say no to any trade but Collingwood. If Port dont cave in to this, he goes into the draft where he has to go to whoever picks him.

Hopefully it goes to the 11th hour and Port in their desperation take whatever the Pies throw at them. Thats what most of us here think is happening. Stevens did not want to leave a team that finishes in the top 4 to one that will finish in the bottom four the next two to three years.

They are only saying that because if we don't get him, they have the most to offer. What they are saying on the news is based on littlemore than assumptions.

Didn't Melb get rid of Wowodin because of salary cap pressure?
They picked up Heffernan last year and Holland this year which brings them to close the same position. How cann they afford $400k+ for Stevens?
