So talk of the town is that we are after him.
It's probably BS just based on him having dinner with Bont but anyway...

What's he worth? What would you be willing to give up?

Key numbers

Draft pick 21, 2013 afl draft. 22 years, 75 games.

Tend to agree. Scuttlebutt on here that Port want Watts and vice versa. He'd be worth the same.

Watts - Port
Impey - Dogs
Pick 26 - Melbourne (possibly lower with FA compo involved)

That then helps the Lever deal for Melbourne.

Not sure what role we have for him. His career and 2017 stats aren't great.

I think he is closer to a pick in the 40’s. His disposal efficiency is only mid 60%.
Not sure other than pace what he will add to our side?

As you alude to his stats are poor - why would you give up a second round pick for him?

Is he a potential Rioli type? Seems to have played more half back but given his height and disposal numbers JJ maybe be better suited there (especially with our defensive structure). Don't know if he's worth a mid 30s pick based on stats (hard to gauge potential not having seen him play much) but 30s might be right.

Maybe Crameri. Impey has 75 games and heading into his best years. Honeychurch has no runs on the board. But Crameri in a three way trade is closer to value I think.

I'm actually thinking that the more I ponder. Thinking especially of what we can get from Crameri. I think if we could get a 30's pick for Crameri, I'd be a lot more comfortable with that. Geelong have reportably made an offer to Stew for 2 years. If we could nab their pick 34, that's about right. Then 39 for Crozier. Trengove as a FA. Leaving 9 & 26 still in tact.

While he would provide us with an effective small forward and midfielder we don't necessarily need him.
If it means talking an extra pick to the draft then that might be best for us.

There would have to be some massaging. But 34 with possibly 4 free agent compos (Rockliff, Trengove, Motlop, other) makes it pick 38. Crameri for about pick 40 isn't too bad a deal. By the time they've finished with GAJ they'll likely have a new set of numbers.

Would Port take 38 for him? He's under contract, so I don't think so. But I'm not sure what role he's going to play. If it's because he's quick, I'd rather spend more on Saad. I get the link with Trengove, but on our list, im just trying to see how much he's going to add on the ground.

I think he's providing that info as more of a 'buyer beware' scenario. From what I've read it is his skills and decision making that let him down, as well as a preference to play outside.

I don't want him.

01-10-2017, 09:51 PM
FWIW I think there is probably limited substance to the rumours of us being interested in him anyway. The reporter only mentioned it a few hours after the photo of Bont eating dinner came out.

From the sounds of Trengove/Impey's friendship, it's not inconceivable that he was just there as a mate. Doesn't mean the club is chasing him.

Bulldog Revolution

He's a moneyball pick - could be good value as a player with experience in a new environment but giving up pick 26 is ridiculous

My suspicion is Port are clearing cap for others and Inpey on moderate money is a target to be got rid of, as they don't rate his output they highly

I think Impey would be a decent pick up. Seems a player to me that still has plenty of room for improvement in his game & his attributes are in short supply at the kennel. Bevo is the type that can get his game to the next level.

Impey as a pressure small forward would be a good addition, but I can't speak to his work rate. He did have some issues this year though, which could explain a down year.

2 years ago Port were praising him and mentioning him as their biggest improver and one to watch.

Agree there's a question mark on his ball handling - he can be fumbly. I think his skills can be improved, especially if stationed in the forward line. Not sure he copes well with midfield/half back traffic.

Cost is an interesting one - probably depends on a few factors, such as Port likely needing to clear cap space for a few players and how close of a relationship the Trengove/Impey one is.

I reckon our defensive pressure in the forward line was deplorable this season and placed enormous pressure on our backline as a result. It's an area we need to improve - only need to look at the 2017 premiers to see how effective it can be in nullifying opposition strengths.

The beauty of it is that they don't need to be stars either - Richmond's small forwards are average, with Rioli being the exception.

I think that is why we are interested in Crozier who does the same. Agree it's an area we need to improve on but I think Crozier is more likely to be headed our way.
I don't mind Impey but we could also find the same type at the draft this year.

Nowadays it's all about playing your role, Biggs is great example of this, you don't need to be a star just play your role.
I would go to say he got us that flag with his unbelievable tackling and never give up attitude in that one play.
It lifted us and got us the goal that probably started the doubt in Sydney.

I agree. He was in Melbourne for the grand final sprint. Being close to Trengove he joined him for dinner with his new team mate Bontempelli. Someone saw them and took a quick snap and the rumours start. I've heard nothing else to suggest that he is even up for trade.

And as far as being a fast player in concerned, Suckling made it into the final of the grand final sprints and Impey didn't. Now that's concerning:D

Sure, it's great to be pacy and have high constitution. Still, it's far easier to work on your fitness and repeat efforts than it is to gain an extra yard or two of pace. He gets to 20 metres faster than most.

I saw an article about players at their peak speed and Impey was second in the league. Along with his defensive pressure, I see him as a moneyball signing as in a small forward pressure role.

Rocket Science

While on paper we could use more pace, and scoring options, and forward pressure, recruiting a bloke because he's quick is a bit like recruiting a bloke because he's tall.

He's not terribly creative nor a particularly clean user and most of Impey's goals are out the back specials, which he'd have to work twice as hard for in our forward line. His tackle averages are also about half of Clay Smith's over the past 2 years, and we rag on Clay for lack of forward pressure.

Unsure if he has the ability to offer some run and carry further upfield, but unless he was chipping in with a couple of timely goals each week I also suspect he'd be one of those guys consistently on the selection bubble.

Impey did kick 15.14 this year. So he's not accurate goal kicking with Port. But with us that's impressive.

Also, it negates our R. Smith playing on a Jarman. Put them in the same team so I never have to think about it.

Your under-rating him IMO. He's young, an a bustling big-bodied Indigenous player. I don't like him cause he's Indigenous but I have watched him closely because of it. He's a bit of a wrecking ball, runs hard in straight lines, breaks tackles because he has good core strength and works hard. He's certainly not just quick he's a young bull who works hard and has footy nous. We need him he'll be shit hot after 100 games, provided you can accept his disposal inefficiency.

Our biggest asset in the Impey trade is Trengove. Impey is the better footballer but Trengove the more mature person and Impey knows it. Impey needs Trengove in his life and we have Trengove. Aside form all the photos and news articles, the only reason I think we have a chance with Impey is because we appear to have Trengove. Impey's old man passed a while back and he hangs with Trengove constantly. It's potentially a two for one deal and I don't mind the acquisition of Impey at all.

Hawthorn's first pick is 32 (34 after FA). Assuming they offer that, we'd have to offer our 26 (27 after FA).

As BT mentioned, right at this moment we can beat the Hawks to the punch and the fact that his good mate is most likely coming to us then that could factor into the decision.

I'd be happy with 6-7 turnover:

Out: Bob, Boyd, Hamilton, Stringer, Crameri, Honeychurch, Campbell - 7 outgoing

Stringer & 11 cancel each other if there's no deal. If we can land a gun with 9, either straight or a sizable downgrade, I'd think about a 2 pick strategy.

His one handed bounces and kicking action at pace could do with work, but I'd be happy with a second rounder for him. Think we could snag a 2018 3rd or 4th back in the deal?

I would think we could get both.

Possible Outs: Stringer (potentially), Crameri (potentially), Honeychurch (potentially), Campbell (potentially), Boyd, Murphy, Hamilton.
Possible Ins: Pick 9, Pick 11, Pick 26, Pick 39, Trengove, Impey, Crozier

We have a bit to play with in terms of 7 possible outs - there may be more outside of this list too - but it does highlight to me that we cannot upgrade R. Smith to the senior list. If I had it my way, I'd delist and re-rookie and I'd also delist Lynch.

I would assume Crozier could be got on the cheap, either through a late pick or pick upgrade. I would do 26 for Impey + 47 or 66 and pass this onto Fremantle for Crozier.

Take Pick 9, Pick 11 and Pick 39 to the draft.

Seems OK to me, as you know I'd prefer that we are active each year. At the moment the indications are that we will make 5 changes or maybe 6 changes if Stringer goes. That would leave us with 2 (if 5 changes) and maybe 3 (if 6) players arriving from other clubs and 2 (if 5 changes) or maybe 3 (if 6) live picks at the draft.

I’m not convinced Impey is on the move but if we can pick him up for 26, Crozier for a 3rd, Trengove as a FA and get an early pick back for Stringer then I’d be pretty happy. I’m not as convinced on the need to bring in a ruck unless we have severe doubts over Boyd or Roughead’s fitness. English will need to start playing at some point too. A 4th option after that should see us through.

Shades of Dahlhaus and his tendency towards haphazard, scrappy ball handling that kills possession chains dead and too often hurts us going the other way.

It's a sin of commission rather than omission but that makes it no less costly.

IMPEY OUT OF THE POWER?

PORT Adelaide premiership player Kane Cornes says Jarman Impey has played his last game for the Power.

Cornes believes Impey will return to Victoria during the trade period, with Hawthorn keen to secure his services.

“I’m hearing that Jarman Impey will be leaving the Port Adelaide Football Club,” Cornes said on AFL Trade Radio.

“Hawthorn have a really keen interest in Jarman Impey. How they get that deal done, I’m not exactly sure. When you look at Hawthorn, they aren’t exactly blessed with draft picks.

“They (Hawthorn) have shown a huge interest in Jarman Impey who has struggled since the passing of his father and does want to be closer to family back in Victoria.

“He does have a close relationship with Jackson Tregrove. The fact that he (Tregrove) is leaving means that Impey will be leaving the Port Adelaide Football Club.”

Might be more interesting to guess FA compo. Rockliff first round, Trengove second round, Motlop mid second round.

Dogs: Pick 27
Hawks: Pick 35

Might be more interesting to guess FA compo. Rockliff first round, Trengove second round, Motlop mid second round.

Dogs: Pick 27
Hawks: Pick 35

That's a big difference to Port, 8 picks higher. Is he worth 27?

It's slightly overs but not much and I'd yield that up. Depends how much we want him.

Actually despite his deficiences I think we really need his type. If we are into him we're in the box seat.

There will be no compo for Trengove will there because Port are getting a FA themselves. Rockcliff will be end of first round I suspect

Pick 38 is probably on the money but maybe it has to be 26 with potentially something coming back to us.

Then it's our 27 to Hawks 34 (7 picks). Hawks beat us with 34 over our 38, unless they have a fringe player of ours that makes them happy with a lower pick.

I did like how Jackson said in his interview on TradeRadio this morning, to Cooney, that he knows which Club he would be recommending Jarman to move to if he has a say in it. He's clearly keen on Jarman to join him at the kennel.

He was further asked about his thoughts on Luke Beveridge, to which he couldn't have been more glowing in his appraisal to date, saying how he's clearly a coach who cares for his players.

It was just the right tonic to hear given the shenanigans that are continuing to play out with Jake, and the hyperbole being spewed out by those in the media who have little clue with managing lists and understanding value and who are often so conflicted (and lacking professionalism) that their bias is leading their agenda.

Spot on Doc !!! Bloody "list manager" now trying to downgrade Stringer's worth, saying he is not worth 1st round pick. Lloyd, Cooney (Essendon sycophant) and Robbo also downplaying his worth in the draft. We should hold out for what we are asking for and stuff them all if we don't get it. Not the worst result to keep him if we have to.

I think TBB is saying why on most occasions can't we convince a player, in a two horse race, to pick us? Irrespective of the player. In some cases, like throwing years and huge money at Lonergan, we couldn't convince him.

Come to think of it we've done really well with players whose teams, and most teams didn't want like Biggs & Hamling.

If we only get Trengove & Crozier with out currency and huge cap to use, that's a meek trade period. If Stringer goes for anything under 11 it will be another poor trade period.

What else can we do or offer than what you've listed? Do we lie to players and say "join the Bulldogs and your reward will be 76 virgins"? We can only offer what we can offer and it's a fair bit.

I reckon we are underselling the lure of playing in blockbuster games at the MCG in the home and away season has on players. Look at Melbourne. They are a joke of a club. They have acheived nothing and will more than likely continue to deliver nothing. But players nominate them. Is it because they have the Queens Birthday game to sell to them?

I'd actually be really annoyed if we went back into the frame. To give up even one first rounder for a key defender would be poor list management, given our current excess of tall defenders. I understand that Lever is better than others on our list, but he should not be in any way a priority.
