[Mr_Moogle]

If it were true id say someone is either being traded or delisted

Imagine this is true and they delist Murphy.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

We may still have a 4th target, rumours will hit the media by this time tomorrow if true

Welcome Matt Owies!!!

 

[WeeBlake]

If Smith dropped down to us there could be a lot of clubs offering a future first and 2024 first to get that pick, including Richmond, Essendon, possibly St Kilda with 2 x picks this year?

I wonder, with the talent order being so contentious, if we’ll see a huge amount of pick trading on draft night as selections gradually come in.

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

How are Richmond not taking this and running? He’s a HBFer and has never been near the AA squad. Houston is worth two first rounders if Richmond think Rioli is worth this; it’s even worse that the Suns are just giving up high picks so easily in yet another off season.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Matt Owies sucks.

The Suns love getting bent over at trade time.

Except when dealing with us.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Sorry I couldn't assume that was sarcasm based on your posting history.

 

[LoBu]

Likely a lot of pick swopping still to come, no doubt on the night too. I think we shouldn't be too smart, if Draper is there we should grab him.

 

[Betts are off]

That Tasmania inclusion is going to hurt which ever clubs are at our end of the ladder when that time comes, thats for sure.

Geelong might finally hit the cliff they've been thwarting for about a decade.

Tuohy, Rohan and Hawkins this year. With Danger, Duncan, Atkins, Bews, Blicavs, Cameron, Guthrie, Stanley, and Stewart all should be done or there abouts by the Tassie entry.

TBH 2025 could even be the year it starts to unravel. Still a lot of old bodies carrying a large amount of the weight in that line-up.

Gotta trade with them in a year they got a lot of academy picks. That's when they don't give a stuff about the draft.

Richmond have nothing to lose holding out for more. As long as the Suns have the points to nab Lombard then they'll be happy.

Wishful thinking ... they will continue to get the highest end talent moving down there for unders.

I actually wonder if MFC specifically clipped the Oliver trade because it was Geelong. Might be a sign that the clubs are tired of giving their stars to Geelong for cents on the dollar.

Again probably wishful thinking

 

[1970crow]

Bond is Back pocket perfect. He can definitely have a role in that backline.
Worrell can play big and small, the others should be half back/wing rotation.
Laird can play sanfl
I'm looking forward to Bigman reporting that Max is training with our midfield this summer.. wishful thinking maybe.

You can push push Cumming and Hinge to wing/half back rotation but that just pushes the crush of options further up the field. Eventually you'll end up having to find a spot in a forward line alongside Tex, TT, Fog, Rachele, ANB, Keays, Peatling, Pedlar and rotating mids. If I had to bet at evens, and assuming a fully fit list, my money would be on Bond missing out in round 1.

 

[George Kramer]

That’s pretty shit on the journos behalf, made Owies look like a greedy dick

 

[Crow_Magnon]

Clearly Hardwick is sabotaging GC from within. His job is to rid the AFL of a team so that we keep it to 18 teams!

 

[1970crow]

So it’s clear we’ve offered him a gig here.

Nice retirement fund for past leaders.

Appointed captain 2019, superb record as captain. Really held the ship together and ensured the playing group remained a cohesive and tight knit group.

 

[jenny61_99]

Probably because we weren't looking at them for the same role.

Balme/Wright would have been hired for a position above Nicks. Davis was hired for a position either below Nicks, or off to the side and slightly below Nicks, essentially a glorified Senior Assistant.

My reading (and I could be wrong) is that they were looking at getting Wright AND Davis, not Wright OR Davis. Unfortunately, we missed out on getting Wright, probably because nobody wants to live or work in Adelaide (the city).

Well, not nobody. Davis and Peatling have no ties here…

 

[Mutineer]

Well, not nobody. Davis and Peatling have no ties here…

But how long will Davis stay if his partner is staying in Brisbane, after all the family pull was what saw Rahilly head home in the end.

 

[baldandbroke]

But how long will Davis stay if his partner is staying in Brisbane, after all the family pull was what saw Rahilly head home in the end.

Or ... how long will his partner stay in Brisbane?

 

[Bob Neil]

But how long will Davis stay if his partner is staying in Brisbane, after all the family pull was what saw Rahilly head home in the end.

Brisbane but Davis in a safe house (ie. us) for 2-3 years to develop in a new senior role then bring him back when Danny Daly steps down or is poached by another club. Smart work by the Lions - just like Geelong with Rahilly.

 

[Mutineer]

Or ... how long will his partner stay in Brisbane?

I'd say the more likely is him given that's where the family home is situated.

 

[Vader]

Well, not nobody. Davis and Peatling have no ties here…

Almost nobody...
