Rumoured that we have offered Pittard $600k at 5 years!
Just shoot me now please. The drug saga was bad enough, this would almost be the end for me :)

Yes and if you believe Rucci, wanting to stay at Port is worth more than that type of coin and a return to Victoria.
Hard to believe if true, but kudos to Pittard and Port if they can retain him at a reduced salary.

FWIW I don't think he is as bad as what people think it's just that we have far greater priorities than another HBF. I swear our recruiters won't be happy until every single one of our squad is a running defender!

It's funny how people talk about "return to Victoria". Pittard is 26, came here after the 2009 national draft so in his 8th year living in Adelaide he's spent his whole adult life in Adelaide.

I understand guys who are 20, 21, 22 saying about the go home factor ( or Dangerfield with his Mrs holding his onions ), but someone who is 25+ is surely more attached to the current place they live then the one they used to.

Just a thought. I have them occasionally.

Pittard can play, but can have some costly moments. Shame for your lot that you couldn't hang on to Hibberd

Hibberd's twice the footballer now than he was at Essendon IMO.

He was good for us but has stepped up a notch and has improved in several areas in the year off

I don't rate him highly but he made the AA squad last year and Port supporters talk about him like he is worse than Toumpas :)

Only the ones who still see Pittard v.2014 running around. Those astute watchers of the club know his complete balls ups have dropped considerably over the last 2 years.
