Ah yes, the Jack Bowes salary dump trade. Future 3rd rounder it is.
You do realise every midfielder in this draft is a "prospective" elite mid until proven otherwise?
Agree that he’s not a need but I think he would complement the side
Only way we won't pay fair value is if they want him off their books salary wise to bring in someone like the rumoured Daniel Rioli....and it still won't be bargain basement.
If Hardwick want him gone to free up salary for Rioli then why aren't we asking for the other 1st rounder they need to split from pick 6 and then also give them a 2nd rounder for bid points? Surely, they aren't offering pick 6 for Rioli.......
It absolutely takes away the ‘required player’ narrative. They’re paying a guy 600 or 700k to play in the VFL, not sure that’s something that either they want, or they can showcase to other clubs
Yuck.
Huge difference between any old first rounder and pick 4. A bloke that’s been in the system 6 years and is still getting dropped in not worth more than a late first at absolute most.
On tbe contrary with lombard possibly at the pointy end, i would expect them to demand pick 4 with maybe pick 10 coming back. No way we should even entertain it, but put ourselves in GC'S. Position, a player with some currency that the club after him has coveted for years and a mid 1st for pick 4 we would be saying thats fair.
He's softer than both of those.
Agree but so is Sholl and he’s had a good year
Reckon suns are better off targeting North’s pick 2 there’s a chance too big Lombardi is bidded on before 4 to worth risking IMO. Would also make sense for North to trade down and grab Trainor.
Settle down this is the 1st time he's been dropped isnt it?
I think that there are similarities between Luko and Matt Robran. Both talented but hadn’t set the world on fire. Good skills and booming kicks, but similar ? Regarding competitiveness.
