If there has been one thing that has been consistently repeated throughout, it's that he doesn't want to leave Victoria. So the Dogs would still fit that category, along with being a team up the pointy end of the ladder. Can they afford him though?

How could Swans fit him into their salary cap?
Swans, Mitchell + 1st round pick.
Freo = Barlow, Ballantyne + 2nd round.
Doggies = Boyd + 1st round.

I'd be keen on this.

More like Hurley and pick 1 for Fyfe and pick 3.
Boy am I glad that we have Dodo.
pretty sure the rule is 2x 1st rd picks taken in a 4 year period, starting with the draft last year (2014 i don't believe counts, in which they took De Goey and Moore). So they are required to either find another 1st rd pick in 2018 before they can trade 2017, or run the risk of AFL imposing a penalty on future trading of future picks.

Been thinking about the lack of communication coming from Hurley. The only conclusions I can come to as a cause for his communicative delays are:
a) The team he wants to join will be playing finals and as such, won't declare anything until they're out of the rat race
b) He is still undertaking contract negotiations with EFC
As much as it frustrates me to say it, I reckon if he wanted to come back that the club and his manager would have come to a deal sooner than this.
If he is gone, we should seriously enquire with our players about dropping Connors as their Managers. His best interests are making big money, nothing else.

Hurley for Elliot makes me sad.
Kidding ourselves with a lot of those. Demons, Saints and Swans straight up get screwed

True....... I put the names that the other clubs would most likely throw up, not necessarily the ones that we need.

c) Connors is trying to maximize his commission (4% on contract $ amount and 20% on additional endorsements)
yeah i know. Dees one in particular
But i struggled to find anything else of any decent value to us. Not sure the Saints would baulk at pick 9-11 & Acres for Hurley given the status of their list.
in his defence (And Hibberd's too), they've just been on a well deserved break from all things work related. Given the 3 years they've been through, i wouldn't begrudge him time to clear his head (Jobe too).
If I was the club, i would have said here is our offer, go away & enjoy yourself, come back and we'll discuss the finer points.
Like XC and Woosha have said, they have to be 100% committed to the club when they return.
If there isn't an announcement by this time next week, then i think we have lost both of them.

If I were the saints and was offered Hurls for a first and Acres I'd run to the hills laughing
Don't rate Acres?

I thought it would have been more tHan 4%. Most good real estate agents would be doubling what Connors makes.

Yeah but it's Hurley, if we were offered someone like Rance/ McGovern for a first (7-11) and Langford (who has shown more than Acres) we would take it I'd imagine

Seems like with Collingwood's emergence for Hurley that the Doggies have been forgotten. It's a good thing the Pies are interested if he's moving. The only problem is if he does a Ryder and nominates a club and that club only.

Yeah, I disagree with you on the bolded. It makes sense, but in my opinion, they have had more than enough time.
From a real-world perspective, this isn't a hobby- or passion-based decision we are talking about. It is an employment-based decision. This is their job and they have had a lot of flexibility and time to make a decision. Every additional day that they take to make their intentions clear is also a day closer to deadline draft decisions that the club needs to make.
There is a significant amount of money that hinges on their decisions, and I figure, if the player wants to bank their pay cheques, (which I am sure that they are doing overseas whilst they clear their heads), then they should probably earn it. In this case, earning it is letting EFC know your intentions ASAP so that we can plan for an upcoming season with or without them.
It really shouldn't be that hard.
