Hypothetically, how much do you think we'd need to offer the suns for Moyle and Lukosius?

Like, all our first round picks for the rest of time

I don't think both is doable

 

[BACCS]

I don't think both is doable

Both is easily doable, Moyle will cost nothing given he’s their 3rd ruck option. Luko is the one they’ll ask the world for though.

Both contracted though, they aren’t going to give Moyle away now than he’s getting games

Moyle OOC isn't he?

I thought he wasn’t but could be wrong

I'd rather Moyle.

 

[ams4crows]

Definitely more of a need for us, particularly if the ROB wants to head home to further educational studies rumour is true

An unreasonable amount. Lukosious has two more years on his contract, so they'll ask for a minimum of two firsts.

I doubt they'd be willing to give up Moyle either - Witts is 32 this year and Ethan Read is only in his first season. They aren't building for the future, they consider their window wide open, so they'd be coming with extremely high pick demands.

Moyle is a free agent is my understanding

 

[BigBoSS_Riot]

Moyle is a free agent is my understanding

I don't think he would be. He's been on the list less than three years, and he's never been delisted. He is definitely out of contract though.

Given our record with first rounders, that's probably a good deal for us.

If you're counting this then shouldn't Luko be counted as well? "Concerted assault on Lukocius" is pretty strong language.

Moyle is out of contract.

Luko is interesting - it could be a bit of a salary dump for them, if he makes clear he doesn't want to stay. Maybe a future first? Would that work?

This kind of scenario might rest on what we can do with players we have. IF, and I have spitballed this one before, Collingwood are keen on Keane and he wants to go, being under contract, the very least we should be able to garner is a decent 2nd rounder - could we bundle up a 2nd with the Melbourne 2nd to get into the back end of the 1st round with a side that needs points? IF that was possible, then GC might move if we could offer them that 1st and our F1 for both players. That still leaves us with our 1st this year for the mid we absolutely need. We would then just need to offload some players for back ended picks to ensure we have the points for Welsh.

But if this played out, we would have done very well (assuming both players actually want to come to us)

Out:
Keane
Melbourne 2nd
F1

In:
Lukosius
Moyle

Do we really need Luko? Handy player but not really a need is he?

 

[CromradeCromulent]

With tex on the way out, Himmelberg leaving, Burgess and Gollant not being it and Welsh being a first year player? Probably.

I wonder if Hardwick wants to go down a more prime Richmond game plan of 2 key talls and smalls up forward.
Leaves Lukosius surplus to those needs given King and Walter would be ahead of him in GCs eyes.

That would leave us with Murray/Worrell/Butts as our KPD trifecta (which is strong), but Borlase as the only depth player. Though we could always get another one with a low pick. I wouldn't be opposed to that.

I'm not convinced that Gold Coast would want a low first rounder. More likely, they'd want a package deal of seconds and thirds. It all depends on where their academy players fall though, which we won't know for a while.
