It'll be Collingwood, I reckon, Port aren't going to lose a player like Stevens and not get anything back in return. This will mean they will have to take any offer that Collingwood puts up. I think the threat was to push his price up, to see if Collingwood are willing to trade a player like Didak, which will never happen.

I have a feeling you're right on the money Proto. All the bluster, finger jabbing and posturing coming out of Alberton ATM is proof that they are in the throes of covering their respective arses first. Painting Stevens as the BAD boy in a deal "gone wrong".
When they finally close the deal with Collingwood it will be reluctantly and with a huge amount of animosity toward Stevens by the Port supportors - a sentiment fed and fueled by the port admin to deflect and ease the on coming flack and blame games.
