The tenor of these leaks look to me like the agent and whomever they have lined up are trying to frame a narrative that we can't refuse a trade request, which suggest to me they think it possible we will.
Then he gets a season to show he can play the position or is delisted unfortunately.

Rumour is we are throwing our line in for a fish.
I don’t think we could play all of Darcy, Sandi and Paul Salmon

Lose Neale, then B. Hill with Stephen plus Langdon to top it off. Sorry but that happens, the club free-falls. Big big trouble. Can’t replace all that talent. Ross couldn’t possibly satisfy making the finals in 2020 if that happens.
We'll drop off for sure in ball movement but I refute that it is free-fall. Neale has already left and we improved on last year. Shilly never plays anyway so he doesn't count.
It's not ideal but meh, take what we can get for them and move on.
I think you need to counter that with who we've brought in.
Recruiting Hogan, Lobb, Wilson, Ryan. Recruiting Brayshaw some may say Cerra and Logue but I'm not sold on them yet.
Plus we need to consider later what we get from their trades.
Adelaide lost Tippett and Dangerfield.
Hawks have lost nearly all premiership players.
Brisbane had a huge exodus only a few years ago.
Bulldogs lost their captain then won a flag. The player that got in return was near BOG in a GF.
Players leave. It happens. It's rarely doom and gloom when they do.

Can't wait for Freo to hold on to Brad Hill and get completely obliterated by the media while Geelong were glorified for keeping Tim Kelly even tho he has a young family including a kid with autism
Your spot on imop....pointless talking down Angus other than he has maybe has a form lapse this year compared to last and more than likely carrying an injury and being played to nurse that somewhat, or other reason. The 2018 -21 Brownlow votes from 9 games can't be ignored as to the quality of the player. Jaeger O Meara has 19 across four out of 6 years.
If fit and okay in all areas he could pull a pick 5 in a single trade...but in a mutual trade of players such a s B Hill much of a muchness unless there are some body issues with Gus.
Stephens, Sharp, Henry, and Taylor ??

If he wants more money why not hand it over? He’s one of our top 5 players
The problem is draftees take 4 years of development.
Sharp and Stephens could easily play meaningfully next year. Both already playing league and doing well. Henry too in the forward half.
I'm not suggesting they can replace Billy and Ed, but that is really irrelevant because they are leaving whether we like it or not.

I'd be comfortable signing him to an extension that boosts the cash, but I'd backend it so if he pulls the pin and wants to move back to Melbourne he doesn't get to pocket most of the money and then leave when the contract value gets less.
... like I suspect is happening now.
yes but why is the real question...issues between coach and player, or nursing an injury, or something else.
Rivers probably too high at 15 ...maybe 20+. But definitely would be one we are interested in ...would need a little more time to develop for AFL
Back ending is a great idea.
Prevents poaching.
Too bad they didn’t do that with Neale instead of front loading.
