THERE IS STILL TIME!

Saints just nuked their culture.

imagine trading your captain for a future, future third round pick... Unreal.

Of course it's wicked wings. we aren't savages.

26 first rounders and a Zinger box.

Unders.

Exactly. If the Saints pay a bit and we stretch it out to 3 the finances of the deal likely end up very favourable for us.

Rapt with this signing. our team suddenly has a lot of leg speed with CJ, Windsor, Langford, Chandler, Kozzie and others.

Hard to imagine we don't look to move up the draft order to potentially get access to Sullivan Robey.

8 first round picks in 4 years is nothing to scoff at. and 1.3 mil a year in cap space opened up, Zak Bailey, Zak Butters, Bailey Humphrey pursuit again. it gives us options.

It's just me and how much i rate Bailey Humphrey but i'd be totally happy to just offer outrageous overs and get him. Trac and next year first which could be top 5, or even next year and 2027. I think having someone with this level of talent on the hook is rare and it's sometimes worth just paying overs when you're a smaller club like Melbourne to get in transformational talent like BH.

THIS is the point being totally missed by those not keen on this. Elite training standards, elite character, high end leadership and low cost. We don't need him to be a superstar, we need him to add depth and help the young guys in a midfield that's losing a lot of depth.

Bout right i reckon.

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

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
