Hand span, please?
As far as I know, while I'm sure there were plenty at the Suns who weren't happy about O'Meara leaving it was only Tony Cochrane who was irrationally upset about it. And obviously he's gone now.So who in particular is still at the Suns (7 years after the O’Meara trade), who would hold a grudge?
Seems very odd.
To be brutally honest they should almost be thanking us for taking JOM given the way things panned out with JOMs body at time at the Hawks.As far as I know, while I'm sure there were plenty at the Suns who weren't happy about O'Meara leaving it was only Tony Cochrane who was irrationally upset about it. And obviously he's gone now.
Oh I don't know if anyone in particular in this instance.So who in particular is still at the Suns (7 years after the O’Meara trade), who would hold a grudge?

Remember when he tried to tell us that he impressed Clarko with how much he knew about footy? What a tool.As far as I know, while I'm sure there were plenty at the Suns who weren't happy about O'Meara leaving it was only Tony Cochrane who was irrationally upset about it. And obviously he's gone now.
Cochrane still has significant influence.As far as I know, while I'm sure there were plenty at the Suns who weren't happy about O'Meara leaving it was only Tony Cochrane who was irrationally upset about it. And obviously he's gone now.
You’d like to think there are no surprises in these end of season reviews anyway and that the players already had a fair idea of what was going to be said. I expect they get feedback on a very regular basis.It is all about communication. The player's livelihood is at stake the earlier they know the better for them. They can prepare for it better get a trade lined up or other opportunity.
Maybe, but I doubt anywhere near enough to kill a deal if it's the best offer in front of them based on something that happened so long ago - and arguably worked out in their favour anyway if we make the reasonable assumption that O'Meara would've done no better if he stayed.Cochrane still has significant influence.
Surely if you have 4 and 5 you take it to the draft. Two top 5 picks beats pick 1I’d be going to the suns and saying we will take your worst contract that you want to discard we’ll pay the whole lot. Give them a future 2nd rounder. And if that gets done assuming north get 3 we’d have 4 and 5 offer 4, 5 and brockman to west coast for pick 1 and 35. They might say no but I think that’s a fair trade.
If we have 4/5 we simply take 2 of McKercher Duursma Watson and rejoice!Surely if you have 4 and 5 you take it to the draft. Two top 5 picks beats pick 1
Hardwick will be handed the keys entirely. He won’t allow a former official to get in the way. It’s a non issueMaybe, but I doubt anywhere near enough to kill a deal if it's the best offer in front of them based on something that happened so long ago - and arguably worked out in their favour anyway if we make the reasonable assumption that O'Meara would've done no better if he stayed.
I don't understand why a substantial number of people reckon Kosi is on the chopping block.
Yes, his last two games - both without Lewis in our forward line to take the best opposition defender - were a bit disappointing but before that, he had shown very promising signs, including long-awaited sticky hands, as the 3rd tall and relief ruck. Certainly worth persevering with, given he appears to have found a role that suits him - and the team, given he was much more effective than a second ruckman such as Meek - quite well.
It's possible - perhaps likely - that Ramsden will take over that role in the longer term but, at least for 2024, Kosi appears best-placed for it.
I agree with this. Unless we can find someone better in the short term, which seems unlikely. 1 year deal and then reassess how the youngsters are going. Unless someone like north offers him 2 or 3 to be the foil to larkey, then we may need to think harder about it.I don't understand why a substantial number of people reckon Kosi is on the chopping block.

Not if the number 1 pick is a by far the best. You add Harley Reid to Newcombe day and worpel. That’s a future rite midfield group.Surely if you have 4 and 5 you take it to the draft. Two top 5 picks beats pick 1

Unless you can add Colby and a Watson/Duursma. If the two players you get are 2/3 as good as Harley then you get 4/3 compared to 3/3. Quick maf.Not if the number 1 pick is a by far the best. You add Harley Reid to Newcombe day and worpel. That’s a future rite midfield group.

We used picks 37, 48 and 51 last year (as well as weddle/Mackenzie). So will depend on how we rate the draft and who’s available. But those above picks aren’t that hard to find/create after a McCabe bid depending on what’s left.I don't think we have enough picks to delist too many. It all depends on the trades and free agent period
Yep however unlike last year we will need to match a bid on McCabe which won't leave us with much. As i said it all depends on trades and free agencyWe used picks 37, 48 and 51 last year (as well as weddle/Mackenzie). So will depend on how we rate the draft and who’s available. But those above picks aren’t that hard to find/create after a McCabe bid depending on what’s left.
We may delist some to leave flexibility and pick them back up depending on who’s available (eg seamus last year).
