Barass - First round pickTell me how...
Chol has had a tough time getting involved if he’s not the main man in the forward line.Chol doesn't play strong - he's easily moved off the ball by an opponent his own size.
Playing him out of the FP (3rd Tall) gives him a 2-inch/5kg smaller opponent & heaps more freedom to roam as he isn't required to sit under the high ball & provide structure.
I reckon you'll see him far more involved, as well as spending more time Rucking.
Our F1 will be around 13-16 IMO.Barass - First round pick
Battle - FA
Lukosius - F1
Suspect they’d jump at itOur F1 will be around 13-16 IMO.
I'd take it.
Not sure the Suns would.
Lukosius has been dropped for this week
Luke Hodge twice has called him out on SEN as gettable in the past week which tells you something.
I smell a
They don't use him right or enough, we need to save him.Lukosius has been dropped for this week
If he has just been omitted, you might think he is not best-22. And you wouldn't pay an first rounder for someone who is not best 22.Our F1 will be around 13-16 IMO.
I'd take it.
Not sure the Suns would.
Connor Macdonald/MacDonald/McDonald would have the second most misspelled surname if Lukosius came on
It tells me that Hodgey is making a headline, that's all.Luke Hodge twice has called him out on SEN as gettable in the past week which tells you something.

the Suns are paying Jack a lot of money to play in the reserves this weekend…Hardwick needs a scapegoat for a list packed with 1st rounders that has again failed their talent. Maybe Hardwick wants him out. Hardwick’s method has always been ‘win the hard ball” footy. Lukosius has never been that player.Our F1 will be around 13-16 IMO.

I think it possible that Hardwick coaches a certain way or wants certain things as non-negotiable & he doesn't get that from Lukocious.the Suns are paying Jack a lot of money to play in the reserves this weekend…Hardwick needs a scapegoat for a list packed with 1st rounders that has again failed their talent. Maybe Hardwick wants him out.
Hodge is a Brisbane man so maybe Brisbane will get him.Luke Hodge twice has called him out on SEN as gettable in the past week which tells you something.

Such a shame to lose such a legend (and his son) to BrisbaneHodge is a Brisbane man so maybe Brisbane will get him.
See if Essendon lose patience and delist. Then we can pick up without tradingSo that's a maybe on Peter Wright?
Would at least be cheap and basically just for a year. But would be the very old style sit at home full forward - I don’t know if that works in modern gameGoals this year
Taylor Walker 26 goals
Max King 19 goals.
Speaks for itself really.
One demands the ball and one does not.
Hope it works out that way.the Suns are paying Jack a lot of money to play in the reserves this weekend…Hardwick needs a scapegoat for a list packed with 1st rounders that has again failed their talent. Maybe Hardwick wants him out. Hardwick’s method has always been ‘win the hard ball” footy. Lukosius has never been that player.
A Sun’s Salary dump is due… and give us a 1st rounder as well…
The last thing the suns need are more draft picks. Their interest is bid matching as they have a decent pipeline this year and next or established players. They don’t have a small defender that I’m aware of maybe Seamus might be of interest.Our F1 will be around 13-16 IMO.
I'd take it.
Not sure the Suns would.
Hodge is a Brisbane man so maybe Brisbane will get him.
He’s had two coaches, been used as a key forward, a higher half forward and as a defender. Maybe some of the blame just falls on the supremely talented player that hasn’t gotten the best out of himself?They don't use him right or enough, we need to save him.
I doubt it, I see Wards value currently outside a first round pick. They would be more wanting something along the lines of a first and ward (which we would rightly tell them to GAGF)Let me preface this by saying I do not want to trade Ward. But what would his value be?
Would Ward plus Pies 2nd get the deal done for Barrass?
Which are the clubs in need of a young mid who has potential but hasn't quite cracked it yet?
