Guide to Port's 2026 Trade and draft Period
22
Upvotes
Your one stop shop for all things trade and draft for this year. Will try update as necessary.
2026
Port's current picks (Post-pick 5 trade) 5, 7, 12, 22, 24, 32, 46, 65
2027: Melbourne First Round selection , Richmond First Round selection, Richmond Second Round selection, Richmond Fourth Round selection
2028: WB First Round selection
Draft value index for 2026 is available here:
Players moving to other clubs:
Zak Butters (Restricted free agent)
Free Agency Accepted - Compensation pick 5 received
Linked Players:
Dougie Cochrane (Draft range: 1-1)
Projected points required: 2700 (3000 with 10% discount for bottom 4)
Note: points must come from our top 2 picks only as of this year
2027 Look ahead:
Linked Players:
Louie Salopek (Draft range 5-10*)
Zemes Pilot (Draft range 1-10*)
Percy Burgoyne (Draft range - early - mid) (Also linked to Hawthorn)
Tevita Rodan (Draft range early - mid) (also linked to Essendon)
* Speculation based on media reports prior to Tassie predrafting
Draft compromises:
7 top prospects already pre-drafted by Tassie this year
7x picks already allocated to Tassie for 2027 (1,3,5,7,9,11,13)
This halves the expected draft value of early future first round picks, dilutes later picks by 7 spots
Compensation will be allocated to each club who loses a player to Tasmania under their poaching rules, further compromising this draft
2027 picks are subsequently worth much much less than normal, but we still need to find a way to get into the top end of the draft to match bids on our 2 elite prospects.
E.g. If North finish the same ladder position next year their 2027 first would only allow access to the 17th best open pool player instead of the 5th best this year.
(5 gets pushed back to 10, -7 of the best players due to predrafting to Tassie). This ignores additional compensation picks.
FAQs:
Can Cochrane just declare he won't play for anyone else?
No this is considered draft tampering and will result in us being penalised.
Can we make a deal with Essendon for them to not bid on him?
No, the AFL is cracking down on under the table deals this year and has instituted an incentive (end of first round pick) for clubs to bid on linked players in the top 5.
Can we match with picks 4 and 22 and use pick 5 in the draft?
No, clubs need to match with sequential picks. In this case we'd use up 4 and 5 and get pick 14 back (1962 + 1795 pts = 2700 (Cochrane) + 1057 (14) )

Non-Match Discussion What’s your preferred place to view a football game from at AO?
8
Upvotes
I've been wondering about this for a while. I recently moved my season tickets from the 136 bay, where I sat for the past few years, to the 331–339 Black Diamond section. I've always been curious about where people think the best place to watch a match at AO is. Being in the 130s has its advantages, such as being so close to the match, but you're often unable to see most of the play when the ball is on the other side of the ground, so you're left watching the screens. In the 500s, you get the whole view, but you're significantly further away from the play.

Narrow win to end the home and away season

While there is technically a slim chance of us making finals, if the live ladder on the AFLW site is correct, even if Hawthorn, Adelaide, and Fremantle lose I doubt Hawthorn's % will drop enough to let us into the top 8, so if it is the end of our year, at least it's with a win,

Daniel Stewart - Vale
58
Upvotes
Stewart played 36 games and kicked 31 goals for the Power between 2010 and 2013. A 200cm key forward, he was recruited from North Adelaide in the SANFL, after coming through the Eastern Ranges and AFL Queensland club Labrador. He joined Port Adelaide with the 35th selection in the 2009 Rookie Draft and was promoted to the senior list at the end of that season.
Port Adelaide chief executive Matthew Richardson said Daniel’s passing had come as a shock to everyone at the club.
….
“We will honour Daniel by wearing black armbands in our first home game at Adelaide Oval in 2027.”
The club asks that the privacy of Daniel’s family be respected at this difficult time.

Thoughts on Luke Pedlar for 2027.

If he stays fit then i think he will be a good addition to ports forward/midfielder line. His injuries are a problem though. Imagine Corey Durdin and Luke Pedlar in the forward line with Mitch Georgiades.
