Trade and Free Agency rumours
pete ryan tweeting riley bonner could be available, yes hes worse than bowes and a bit of a squad player but given hunt's exit (and i spent 20 minutes comparing them on the afl website statistically bonner is 2x the player hunt is) could be a handy player off hb as a kicker even tho he has no inside game, 3yr deal pretty average 300k coin low risk high reward? thoughts?

Farewell Toby Bedford
i can't believe this thread has made it the last 4 pages without any mention of Laurie, was rated as highly as bowey when drafted, has the composure and kicking skills we like about spargo and hopefully does a better job of finding the footy, but this will give him the opportunity to get some minutes and push into the side, i realise he's not exactly a like for like with toby but a small forward is a small forward is a small forward and this will present him some more opportunities in '23

Jack Bowes Salary Dump
i think the deal ends up being something like tom berry and a couple of future picks for bowes, 7 and a stack of the suns 2022 draft picks, points for all (suns have a couple of academy boys highly ranked for next year including a big forward jed walter)

Harry Sheezel
i see him more in the greene mold, can go up the ground and impact and also is super crafty around goals. or like a rozee

Farewell Jayden Hunt
we probably did offer him the contract and then took it away when we reassessed our options and when he asked for something outrageous and its kinda just followed that trajectory to where it is now ironic given he signed witherden from the lions for that exact reason and then realised he just disposes of it sideways and backwards and gets 25 of the least effective touches and drops him every other week

twomey and riles just discussed bedford, expect him to stay a dee due to NGA ties and we want him to stay/offered him a deal but has been in NSW talking to the giants and seeing what they have to offer him.

Farewell Sam Weideman
crossleys not an old man and IMO should still be on an afl list, only left the suns coz of his coke ban, we should rookie him. gawny will straighten him up

Jack Gunston
they looked heaps better with daniher out and a more mobile quick forward line in the finals, mcstay out for gunstan adds more zip and craftiness around goal which will make them a slicker and more high scoring unit overall

Farewell Jayden Hunt
i dont mind that he's leaving i've always thought he was a limited player and had a ceiling but we need to get capable replacements in to continue to improve the list and that's the frustrating part is that that isn't the case we seem to be content with players leaving and we're putting a lot of faith in senior 22 not getting injured or some young, fresh players who haven't set the world alight at vlf level making the step up

Farewell Jayden Hunt
we're never winning another flag if we lose even half the players linked to the exit this year. firstly losing majak and mbrown is a blow to our tall depth given the injury history of the blokes in front of them and the maturity of their bodies. then LJ goes and suddenly we have about 3 tall players on the list and now Hunt, Bedford, Weid and Tommo are all gettable and suddenly we have literally zero mature bodies outside our 22. one injury on each line and we'll be exposed and playing injured blokes by round 8. something HAS to be coming the other way. i know JT is an excellent draft recruiter but he's built the list now we need to plug holes, buy smart and top up. not keep going to the draft again

Jordan De Goey
what do you even mean? tell him he's going to be delisted before his exit meeting?? then its just gonna be a shock to the system two weeks earlier when they're still in season? this literally makes sense. the whole point of the exit meeting is to discuss what their future is and recap their season. no better time to drop the news
-
Jordan De Goey
the problem with them is that they're so subjective, like how can u have a clause like that be so black and white in nature, obviously it won't cover every specific possible scenario in depth so it gives the club so much power to just cut the deal whenever they please because of "behaviour" and they can sort of decide what is or isn't behaviour yknow so it makes sense for any player to know exactly the criteria they need to work between to fulfil their contract obligations and this isn't afforded to JDG here

Trade and Free Agency rumours
i love sparkle he's been an iconic player amongst my mates and i since he was drafted (they're cats fans :() he doesnt really improve our list massively but could definitely do a job at WC linke jarmaine jones has or freo could take him as mature depth for a year or two given their exodus. he's a wa boy. consistency never really his issue in terms of form but in terms of selection and role more outside his control then yes u r right hes a WA boy and with dunkley and ashcroft coming in he might be wise to look elsewhere but they also trusted him in the finals so they definitely rate him and that pig zorko and lyons seem to be transitioning out of the guts there so maybe theres mniutes where have we said this officially?

Jack Bowes Salary Dump
no he'd be stuck at the suns still and whilst he probably plays games next year they clearly prioritise weller/budarick/powell for whatever reasons probably some being the fact they're on less coin and also probably because they havent expressed they wanna play as midfielders like apparently bowes has the suns see bowes as an asset they have plenty of and he's a player who will have suitors therefore they're prepared to offer his money out rather than smoothing it while other players who have less to offer other clubs or who they have less similar types to on their list they will smooth out. i think his body is fine he's only 24 he's only had one injury interrupted year and that was this year iirc
