If no club can come up with an offer that is somewhat near his value (say pick 12 for argument's sake, I personally value Harley much higher than that - he'd be top two if in this national draft), what's to stop us saying **** you to everyone we'll hang onto him as although he ****s up a lot we value him higher than all you campaigners looking for a free feed.

Is anyone else worried our next big thing Jack Martin is always half a step away from being the headline.
Every time something Happens, Martin was there, the club backs him in.
His drinking at the hotel in Tasmania. All you ever heard was Dixon this. Dixon that.
Martin was at the cocain binge golf day last year too.
Martin with Harlely last night when arrested.

We used pick 2 on this kid. And to date. I'm not impressed!

I've always admired Jack's evasive abilities :thumbsu:

Lol , are you blaming Jack Martin for this ?
 
It's been confirmed that Martin was one of several that was there with Harley but not breaking any rules. That's more than harsh on Jack to say he's 'no angel'. He's allowed to be there, for heavens sake.

I'm not saying just because of last night.. It's pretty obvious half our team are no Angels.
Drinking the wine in Tasmania was all Martin
Hunt dobbed in 3/4 of the golf trip as Cocaine users.
He Just seems to be everywhere the issues are. Hearing his name more then any other Suns name
I'm just saying should we be worried..
 
My own thoughts on Harley are a bit muddled right now, but I'm pretty upset about it all. The difference between Harley and Charlie is that Charlie didn't want to be here, so he can **** right off for all I care. He chases cash, whatever.

But Harley? He loved the club. LOVED it. You speak to him and/or his family and he wanted to be a lifelong Suns player, a 10+ year star who wanted nothing more than to play for and succeed at GC. He's a young kid, but one that's made mistakes unfortunately.

I don't know what we'll get for Harley, but I do know that anything or anyone we get won't be able anyone or anything that can match Harley's talents and ability. I can't think of any other player playing right now in the league who can do what he can. This is a guy that makes Gary Ablett (in his prime) fall into second place when he's on. Nothing is going to be able to compare to what he is or what he will be. Once he gets to 100+ games, look out.

The image of Harley bursting into tears and cleaning out his locker while his friends try to comfort him is something I find incredibly upsetting, but I guess that's just because he's one of my favourites. Packing out his locker in a place he loves, a place he never thought he would ever leave.

That said, I'm happy that the club has done this and really enforced its new leadership and culture. It should open a few eyes, but I'm just shattered that it had to come at the expense of my fave in Harley. I know Rocket is extremely disappointed, as is Harley himself. Rocket really really wanted to keep him and tried so hard to stop him, but at the end of the day Harley makes his own choices.

I hope for his sake he can turn his life around.

Doubt we would trade him unless he asks.

I wonder if pick 9 +our 2016 first rounder bennell and one of your later picks this year (say 3rd round ish) would work? Lets you spread the age of your list and suits our large list turnover this year.

On bennell i think a big melbourne club like haw/ess would be a very bad idea,the media will hound him.i think he should go somewhere he can get out of the spotlight.

Geelong is still the same as Hawthorn/Essendon. Even more so with the pressure the whole town puts on their players. Not saying it's a bad thing but i think the pressure on him would be the same as the other Victorian clubs.
