It’s hard we just don’t get guys walking into our club wanting to just win/come homeWhy? Both involve 4 year deals on good coin for a player who isnt likely to be best 22. Its poor list management imo.

This ^ which is why Suns have overpaid for players that don't quite deserve the $'s or picks etc required.It’s hard we just don’t get guys walking into our club wanting to just win/come home
I guess if we don’t offer more then no one would ever come. All the northern states have the issue.This ^ which is why Suns have overpaid for players that don't quite deserve the $'s or picks etc required.
Long can actually play a bit, just needs to cool his head at times.
Giving away greenwood was a master-strokeMaybe banning the gold coast from trading could be part of the AFL's assistance package. They need someone to save them from themselves.
Lyons, Brodie, Greenwood, Wright and probably Fiorini soon given up for free/salary dumps. I guess they have to make room for these reserves half back flankers on 4-5 year deals somehow.

What do you see as fair value?Can't blame him for chasing a much bigger contract than what is on offer at St Kilda, and you can't blame St Kilda for not wanting to overpay a depth utility. Long is capable of playing some decent games occasionally but he's never put more than 2 together consecutively. His skills are okay, he's quite athletic and he's very tough but he goes missing for large patches of games, or even entire games. Has never been able to consistently find enough of the footy to cement his spot in the 22.
You either play him forward and accept that he's probably not going to hit the scoreboard but will provide some fairly high level pressure, or you play him in defence and accept that he probably won't get much of the ball but could have a few nice intercept possessions. Once or twice a year he'll play a blinder but his median game is ordinary.
At face value, pick 43 seems right and what it will likely beWhat do you see as fair value?
GC have picks 25, 31, 34 & 43.
Would have thought somewhere between picks 34 & 43... probably closer to 43.

But given they've given him a 4 year deal and they are unlikely to use all their picks, I'd be trying to get pick 34 or seeing if there was a swap that could occur to get a better pick.
Even contracted, I wouldn't have Long worth an early 2nd round pick.He worth p 25 if he’s contracted. Cause he’s uncontracted we could swap a future second for their future third fourth and 34.

Why do the suns keep recruiting overpaid journeymen trades who wont be best 22 for them?

Suns were rock bottom with above C grade wanting to come when Murdoch, GHS, Hombsch, Miles, C. Ellis all came to provide senior body support. All did not cost much at all but there was literally no other options.Jordan Murdoch and Rory Atkins the two most baffling. At least us Cats fans understand why they picked up George Horlin-Smith 3 years ago even if he’s already gone. In fact for the Suns, I understood that recruitment more than Murdoch.
I’d take him but think he will go the piesLong and future 3rd for Fiorini & 43.
Suns just traded both 25 and 36.Suns and Saints disputing what 2nd rounder will get used on him apparently
Saints wanting 25, Suns offering 36
36 is more than fair. Id have thought 43 would be the most likely tbh.
Would happily give up a future 3rd to get that 25 though
What did they get for them?Suns just traded both 25 and 36.
What do they have left to give us?
Berry, GWS future 2nd and 46.What did they get for them?
Still have 32 or 43
