The trouble is that team know that we will bid for them and they will force us to bid for them.

Someone will buck that trend in the next few years..... effectively saying, Ok he's your for two/three years, once he's gained some maturity and experience we'll bring him back for less than you just paid for him.
You guys should consider trading Buddy Franklin.
He isn't generally a big game player, aside from last year's grand final which you lost badly in spite of a 4 goal haul. He had no influence on last night; if it wasn't for McVeigh in the dying minutes you would have been cactus. The 4 big man setup of Reid, Tippett, Goodes and Franklin netted 5 goals.
You got him for nothing under free agency - trade him home to WA for Freo's first round pick to use on a gun 18yo midfielder. 29 in January and his salary will begin to bite.

Yeah nah.
But hypothetically, wouldn't we have to keep his contract in the cap anyway if we did? no point
No lol.
by the end of the year you'll still have $7,000,000 left to pay on your investment. If Franklin isn't the difference between winning and losing a grand final, I'd seek options to refinance.

He will be at one point. Like last year, he's dealing with a few niggling injuries. But he's still contributing no matter what. Can't really bag him out since he kicked close to 4 goals a game last season.

Not if we traded him because his contract has been terminated. Not sure how compensation works out though.
False. Leave.

Can't live in Victoria and train with us. Not a huge deal as he has spent time training with us already

Great report on the AFL website about today's Vic Metro/Vic Country U18 match. Two players talked about as possible number 1 draft picks - nice Mills slipping down the draft order all the time!

Didn't hanners train with us ??? Or was he selected while still at school? I know he made some commutes to Syd.
After Dons didn't give us a look in for Daniher I would be shitty if another VFL club took a potentially good f/s selection.
We drafted Hanners while he was still in Year 11. He stayed in Melbourne to complete his Year 12 for his first year with us.

Hm, really want both Mills and Dunkley. Just pay it up.
C'mon Dunks. Do you really want to go to a Victorian rabble?? We have Franklin, Goodes, Parker, McVeigh and Joey to point you in the right direction...

That's a good thing. Their bad habits will temporarily rub off onto him and his value will go down.

Yep. I seem to recall that he got into trouble on muck up day. He was throwing eggs or something.
Is that why he slipped all the way down in the 30's
In the event that pyke ends up slowing down by the end of this year and one of naismith and nankervis don't come on as hoped i think we may target another ruckman.
Possibly by next season pyke will have a more mentoring role in the squad.
Drex is still in the squad until the end of 2016 but as of late hasn't even been close to a look in.
Jarrad redden from Port looks a likely prosepect and looks to have fallen behind the likes of lobbe and ryder.
If we can somehow find draft picks somewhere i think he may come cheap as he is also uncontracted after this season.

That Weitering kid is the number one, it's daylight second - he's that good. Mills was always going to slip, especially once they decided how the bidding system will work and a bit of normality broke out.
Mills is very good (and a top ten) but I honestly think there might be other academy players taken before Mills. I think Ben Keays is absolute gold dust and Hopper will go early too... Mills has a slight question mark on his kicking efficiency and in a fairly even top 6 or 7 (after Weitering) it'll mean he probably drops out of the top 3
I doubt every one sees it that way but that's my take on it. Will be a good result for Sydney of it does go that way...
