Yeah amazing how many goals he kicked in VFL this year playing in the back pocket hey...He immediately becomes our best midfield kick the day he walks through the doors if he lobs with us. I mean 3 goals in one game from the back pocket is a pretty amazing effort...Have you even seen Bowes play? Or just jumped on Footywire for some empty stats?
Bowes is best 22 at AFC every day of the week. Good user of the ball, hard at it, can play defense in the Nick's mold, and is being starved of opportunity. Has played well in the 2's after a s**t run with injuries. Given a clear run at a full preseason, he's a weapon off halfback or as an outside mid.

does anyone know if he has any connection to rankine? is this actually a credible report? would definitely be an interesting pickup.Yeah amazing how many goals he kicked in VFL this year playing in the back pocket hey...He immediately becomes our best midfield kick the day he walks through the doors if he lobs with us.

Zero chance of Jack Bowes happening, that's a BF fantasy of 20th Sept 2022, nothing more, nothing less.In:
Pick 5
Max Michalanney
Izak Rankine
Jack Bowes
2 Rookie upgrades (Butts & Strachan)
3 Rookie picks (Turner, Key Defender, Key Forward/Ruck)
Out:
Fischer McAsey
Billy Frampton
James Rowe
Luke Brown
Paul Seedsmen
One of: Jackson Hately/Will Hamill/Andrew McPherson???
Ben Davis
Thoughts.
If Bowes is included in a deal with Rankine, it likely involves pick 5. I'm not suggesting that's a balanced trade, but I do feel GCS aren't going to cop a future first and they will want to get creative.In:

Thoughts.
Gollant, Parnell, Himmelberg and Hinge were signed during this season. That was 2 too many.Probably because we want to keep them? I would have thought that was obvious?
We've signed the players we wanted to retain, and left the others uncontracted. The problem is that some of the uncontracted players have gone backwards (e.g. Crouch) or haven't developed as hoped (e.g. Sholl), and we now find ourselves wanting to offload them. Note that neither of these players were signed to new contracts this year.
I love Hollands and think we should chase him when he’s OOC, but why are we even bringing him up?I'm happy to pay out a contracted player that just isn't going to make it. Obviously the cheaper the better but if it's Murphy, Hately, McPherson or Crouch then so be it.
Imagine being stuck with one of these playing all year in the SANFL when, with a bit of creativity, we could have made a spot to bring in a quality salary dump player or even Hollands.
mcpherson should be paid out there is no way he is playing again and not possible to tradeI'm happy to pay out a contracted player that just isn't going to make it. Obviously the cheaper the better but if it's Murphy, Hately, McPherson or Crouch then so be it.

agreeWith all teams having limited list numbers still, we're not going to find it that easy to trade away contracted players.
We also will find it hard to delist contracted players - I believe their pay out needs to happen within this year's salary cap, otherwise they continue on our list if we're paying them next year (or including them in salary cap figures).
because that wont be easyI love Hollands and think we should chase him when he’s OOC, but why are we even bringing him up?
Pure fantasy
Yes, but it doesn't necessarily open up more picks. It COULD be done just by delisting and re-rookieing, and shuffling the numbers of main and rookie list players.Can we move contracted players not named Seedsman to the rookie list?
You should ask for Margot Robbie instead, she's on the Gold Coast.because that wont be easy
might be better to push GC now as part of the rankine trade if they keep insisting on this pick 5 rubbish
if we cant get phillipou cos pick 5 is traded, hollands needs to be part of it IMO.
not a bad suggestionYou should ask for Margot Robbie instead, she's on the Gold Coast.
I'd keep Turner on the list. I'd happily move someone like McPherson to the rookie list if it meant opening up an extra senior list spotYes, but it doesn't necessarily open up more picks. It COULD be done just by delisting and re-rookieing, and shuffling the numbers of main and rookie list players.
The way it opens up an actual spot is you delist Turner and only re-sign him when you move Seedsman to the LTI list, which wouldn't be a bad play.
Will it though?because that wont be easy
might be better to push GC now as part of the rankine trade if they keep insisting on this pick 5 rubbish

Doesn't mean we shouldn't try.I love Hollands and think we should chase him when he’s OOC, but why are we even bringing him up?
Pure fantasy
what Im saying is pick 5 is off the table unless it included hollandsIs it though?
IMO that's just gonna push the SUNS further away from co-operating
We need to be realistic, as much as fans might not like it. If we get something along with Rankine for pick 5, it will be worth it
