Pardon the interruption here, but i am confused on why some suns fans are not pleased?
From the outside looking in, your team has now been able to draft 5 elite talents (Walter, Rogers ,Graham, Read, Lombard)
over the last two drafts, while also bringing in a BNF winner in Rioli plus John Noble to help Dimma's gameplan really thrive.
Not only that, you are positioned now with 3 future first rounders next year and have Zeke Uwland a potential number 1 pick ready to go in 12 months time.
how does someone complain turning 3 regular first round selections over 23,24,25 into 7+ first round elite talents PLUS mature age strong talent.
It is a remarkable job done.
Because some folk are just like that, their glass is half empty no matter what happens. That's just life. I'm sure your board has some too.

But thank you for providing some perspective.
 
Yeah, that's probably unhappy view of majority of Suns fans. No context, not seeing the whole picture. Look at our list and how we are set up for next year with more academy kids coming in. Sure we also got crazy concessions.
The way to flip pick 4 to all 4 academy kids was amazing. But partially due to the farcical points system.

We were getting Lombard regardless this year because that’s how drafts work. But just because we get a huge advantage on how bids are matched (before next years change). It shouldn’t mean we need to give back overs every other time we trade. Which is why daily articles get written about Cameron

Sorry but how is your list manager still in a job? Is he deliberately sabotaging your club? It’s happened way to many times now for it to not be
Not sure why you say that , He is actually getting done everything he set out to do this trade period
have to look at GC trading and intentions completely differently to other clubs due to the massive amount of talent they have in their academy. just have a look at what Essendon did just because of 1 academy player and multiply by 6-7

GC goals for 2024 trade period :whitecheck:
* Move Luko and salary for future 1st rounder
:whitecheck:

* Bring into the club Noble
:whitecheck:

* Bring into the club Rioli
:whitecheck:

* Bring into the club 2 x Future 1st rounders for 2025 academy kids
:whitecheck:

* Have enough points for Lombard
:whitecheck:
 
For now

Then we may be involved with Richmond freo and eagles in their trade now
So Luko was always a future first coming back…

So was pick 13…
The pick 13 should have gone to north for a first round pick.
Or anyone who offered a future first and second!

So we traded 29 and Atkins for Noble
 
List manager should be sacked if that occurs. Unless they are paying all of his salary
They wont pay all for pick #23 but i can see $200k-$250k x 3 years around $700k contribution
effectively almost as much as the Bowes deal that cost pick #7 which was $1 mil off the cap over 2 years
 
It’s actually sick we’re finally bringing in players from teams starting 22’s
Hopefully the years of brining in players looking for more opportunities like Anthony miles, Tom berry & Charlie constable are in the rear view

Atkins has negative value. It's really 29 for Noble and getting rid of Atkins salary

If that north offer was legit.

Bombers rejected norths offer too at 9

Did bring in Himmelberg but he can cover all positions and let some benchwarmers go.

Day Brock Luko Casboult = $1.4mil

Himmelberg = $300k

I can see everyone on our list next year playing a senior game except Farrar but we have let him know that already. Fiorini sexton Holman lemmens swallow in the danger zone
