Possibly crazier than some of the suggestions on the North board for Darcy last year. Multiple posters continually bringing Treacy up as if there is any chance in hell we let him go for BakerI know he's still got a few more years to go, can we get a Treacy extension quick-smart?
Tigers board starting to froth at the mouth.
They can ask for Treacy, we will offer Tabs. When is that mid season trade period starting again?Possibly crazier than some of the suggestions on the North board for Darcy last year. Multiple posters continually bringing Treacy up as if there is any chance in hell we let him go for Baker
Treacy is the future. If he goes, I'd be way more disappointed than if it was Switta
Given he is contracted to end of 2026 already we have some wiggle room..Now that I think about it, I hope the list team have budgeted to pay Treacy as a required player as they aim to go on a big splurge this year...
These things are done years in advance though and with the cap increase and rate of improvement, he could be getting some gigantic offers in 2026. We've been cheap on role players through the build so far, so long as they have him bumped up to "core player" money in the 5 year budget is all I'm sayingGiven he is contracted to end of 2026 already we have some wiggle room..

How much were we going to offer Mcdonald, 800k?These things are done years in advance though and with the cap increase and rate of improvement, he could be getting some gigantic offers in 2026.

That's pre new CBA money, gotta bump them numbers up. Zurhaars of the world are getting talked about at 800k and what if that McDonald money goes to a different Sydney gun...How much were we going to offer Mcdonald, 800k?
Treacy is now out performing Mcdonald and we will only have to pay him 500k or so. Treacy is actually saving us a huge amount of cap space by becoming quality.
Yeah thats true.That's pre new CBA money, gotta bump them numbers up. Zurhaars of the world are getting talked about at 800k and what if that McDonald money goes to a different Sydney gun...
I can see us saying **** it, deal with it in 5 years and do a salary dump, wouldnt be the worst idea if it meant we had 5 years from here with our current core plus Warner and Baker....Yeah thats true.
I do find it difficult to imagine us struggling for cap space when we have consistently lost senior players for a while now. Warner and Baker in could certainly make it tight though so you do have a point.

Schultz yes (because of the lack of other options), Logue was/is surplusYeah, hopefully Bells ruthlessness with role players salaries ends up being worth it in the long term (I doubt it though, I would kill for a fit Logue and Schultz in this team right now).
He is by far the most underrated recruiter in the league.
I was saying the other day to someone who was bemoaning the Hogan trade - the draft following that trade we picked up Lachie Schultz with pick 57, who we have subsequently turned into a top 10 pick and Cooper Simpson.
Has ability to draft, particularly with late picks, is the best in the league. No other list management team in the league could have dealt with the qualities of players leaving the club and managed to still put together a competitive list, much less a list that is (potentially) on track for finals
Schultz yes (because of the lack of other options), Logue was/is surplus
We traded Hogan for 54.
54 became Joel Western.
Joel Western who?
Meanwhile Hogan is staring for GWS.
We also paid a fair bit for Hogan.
There’s no way to look at the entirety of this trade in any positive way and what you were telling your mate is factually miles off.
Schultz was pick 57 but in 2018!
They’re not connected.
Hogan is connected with Joel Western… not as great is it.
Joel Western had nothing to do with Jesse.
Jesse was a red flag from the start. Even Bell said no, before agreeing albeit reluctantly.
They knew it was a risk. Turned out it was a huge risk.
Nothing to do with Western
I was talking about the trade in which we brought Hogan in, which was the 2018 trade period. We gave up picks for him, which was a bust, but Walls' ability to nail late picks including pick 57 for Schultz (which was the same draft period as our trade in as Hogan) fills over the massive cracks and keeps us competitive, against the odds
