YES DEES brilliant choice. CJ, Florent, Steele. make it happen.

We are off our heads if we don't get into this conversation quickly with that asking price. we've lost midfield depth and this is how you offset that.

I reckon we're going to get their future first as well Dazzle. I've got a feeling it'll essentially be Trac and a bunch of picks for 7, 8 and their future 1 which is probably a late first rounder next year. But it means the MFC can sell it as a really strong draft result 8 first rounders in 4 years and all that. That's my guess

He says it in the opening line "Dees desperate to get Oliver out" there is no point trying to negotiate this further, take the deal and be happy to free up 650-700k P.A and get a fresh start for everyone after a rough few years. Wish Clarry nothing but the very best up in Sydney and thank you for your service and help winning a premiership.

I don't think enough has been spoken about the enormous effort of Tim Lamb and Steven King to get us into the mix as seriously as we have been for Bailey Humphrey. IF the Suns were open to trading him there is a very real possibility he'd be a demon in 2026, despite all our off field drama and changes. Everyone on here is very quick to pot Tim Lamb, but seemingly not so willing to acknowledge the really good things he does. He's been dealt a terrible hand this off season, trying to trade Trac with horrible leverage, trying to trade Clarry with zero leverage, trying to trade Steven May who's 34? on a huge contract and off field question marks, losing Judd McVee and he's still managed to come out with what will likely end up as 2 X top 10 picks 2m plus in freed up salary cap space. CJ, Mihocek, Heath

We could offer them a pick to pay more.. for example pick 24 if they pay his entire wage

Maybe time to tell him to revisit the pies

Look, i wouldn't say no. That's all i have for you.

I feel this. my happiness seems to be directly linked by how far away from my family i can possibly get.

With rope? or string? or like those sour lolly ropes?

Sullivan Robey is the desire to move up the draft. Jason Taylor loves him. probably has posters on his wall.

I heard Bailey Humphrey refuses to help old ladies cross the road. Honestly having him on the list is destroying the Suns reputation in the community. he's a PR nightmare

Exactly the reaction his manager is wanting. But also. amazing that the 3 gold coast Suns supporters could create such a fuss.

3 way trade. Future 3rd for Clarry goes to Hawks, CJ to us, Clarry to Giants. Trading Clarry for CJ somehow feels better than for a future 3rd

is pick 28 enough to get him?

I'm with Danny on this one, i think he's just told them that this is coming up again in 12 months, confirmed BH's desire to get out publicly and given the Suns something to think about. It's still incredibly unlikely but this was a last roll of the dice for 2025.

Well he's going to be on trade radio. time to say "Bailey has a really serious set of personal circumstances and he desperately wanted to get back to Vic, specifically the MFC, unfortunately to this point the GCS aren't listening to him and he is quite dissapointed in the lack of care he's being shown" Watch the landscape dramatically change if the managed gives the Suns a good whack and publicly declares his intentions.

What if the suns would rather Gawn?

Seriously, half of Demonland should be opposition teams trade negotiators because we're so much better at caring about their needs in a trade than our own. What if we say that some picks in a thin draft aren't enough. Pick 7 and 8 even in this draft are not worth 7 and 8 normally. in the top 10 alone there are 3 academy players, 1 father son and 2 free agency compensation picks. All will almost certainly drop before our first selection (7) besides maybe the father son which is touch and go.

Absolutely not our problem. why should we GAF what the Suns have enough points to do? Satisfy our needs if they want our player.

Sure, which is why i suspect we'll accept a picks only deal rather than just walk him back in the door. I don't think we're going to get totally shafted, we'll still get some picks we can do a bit with

I'd have 15 or F1 interchangable. if we're going to the draft i was Lindsay and Srlj (or however you say his name)

I'd consider 7, 8 and 15 for Petracca, 24, 28, 41

Sack literally everyone that signed up for such a putrid deal.

Not that i wouldn't badly butcher. @dazzledavey36 can probably help us out with this
