If Thomas can find a buyer, I expect him to request a trade as well.Surely North go Cadman at 2.
A midfield of Simpkin, Thomas, LDU, Phillips and Powell is pretty good, they need KPP talent.
Cadman at 2 and Busslinger at 8 gives them a pretty talented young spine to work on with McKay - Busslinger - Cadman - Larkey
