Would like to think as the options narrow down for Eagles, our contract offer gets more generous... Would go 6 years 4 mill myself providing Darling gets off the books

Don't think Sydney will offer the contract he wants otherwise he would stay at GWS.

Increased his worth a fair bit over the finals.
Still strikes me as Adelaide bound. They will just make it impossible to turn down
Sydney/GWS cannot offer even close to what Adelaide can

weird tweet, he can just move wherever, not sure why you would say you are leaving but then not say to which club
Could be 2 reasons, he wants to go to Port but they dont want any distractions during finals so have asked if he can hold off declaring where he wants to play. Or the crows have given him an offer that he will likely take, however Port have said you're coming to SA anyway hold off on committing until we can give the full sales pitch once we are out of finals.

Was very impressed by that.
Didn't know he had finals psycho in the kit bag. Layed 8 tackles and looked like he wanted to kill someone.

If Perryman and Luko are off to Port, thats a huge wack of cap space used and if Cumming's offer from the crows is big, then its a struggle to see how Port could fit him in if the other 2 are committing to port?

100% this. Port will negotiate post finals as opposed to now

I think Perryman aint going to Port and they probably knew that a while ago
It doesnt sound like Ports cap is at tipping point just yet. But yeah to land all 3 then Houston would definitely be off you'd think and potentially someone like Soldo who i think may become surplus to requirements. Not that anyone seems to know whats happening with Luko but if another team were to acquire him you;d think they'd smooth his contract out over a number of years (if that can still happen?) similar to Bowes.

Likely a bidding war dependent on guys like Houston and Lukosius deciding what they want to do. He's underrated by many posting in this thread.
There's a lot to play out. It's just good advice from his manager.

The AFL site seems to allude to the fact that he's already told GWS who he wants to go to, but GWS have decided not to announce that? Read between the lines there, I'd say he's gone to Port

I find it hard to imagine Port can get Cumming, Perryman and Luko, so a bit to play out I think on where all 3 land if in SA. Would imagine both clubs will end up with 1 or 2 of those 3.

Genuine question, because I feel this gets said a lot about GWS players moving (and lots of them do), how many players have they lost that have been a win for the team getting them? Like, they've moved and down the track everyone thought their new club got a bargain in the end?
Cameron and Geelong feels like the only one but he wasnt "underrated."
I feel like everyone convinces themselves these players are "hidden" at GWS and not rated correctly but it doesnt normally turn out that way
You are right that there have been plenty who have moved clubs then not really set the world alight (Jack Steele being the exception). But i think these players have been the ones that were high draft picks who couldn't crack the 22 or were fringe players at best. I think SOS recruiting career has mostly been just getting these players.
However the ones who have been regulars but been able to be poached have generally gone ok even if some of them have not met what was traded for them (Treloar, Adams, Shiel, Finlayson, Hoskin-Elliott, Cameron, Caldwell etc).

Definitely fair that few have been outright busts (though Hopper is trending very poorly) of a trade but yeah, I feel like people are fed a narrative "if this GWS player was in Vic he'd be this..." but literally everyone talks about GWS always having the best list in the AFL. Seems they are often overrated if anything and GWS are just very very good at maximising their players ability.
And this is not to be confused with me being anything less than in love with how Ports off-season is shaping up. I think it's sounding like the best net in/out moves of any team.

Tom boyd didn't work out too badly for the dogs
Maybe we bid Perryman up since he was reportedly link to them very early on so they can't get Cumming lol.

That's a can of worms I dont want to open in here but... genuinely debateable
