    Preview Rnd 9 | Gold Coast Suns v St Kilda TIO Stadium, Darwin | Sat May 9 | 7:10pm AEST

    Kosi Pickett, Sampson Ryan and Acres or Brad Hill is the actual equation. Kosi is absolutely elite now. Probably a better option to have gone down, drafted hard then come back up quicker. Brad has become a good player for us and a leader but it was still not a great strategy. We tried to buy...

    That's the thing though. I don't think that he is a premium player yet. Anyway, can't be bothered with another nuff off. IOt is what it is now. It means that we'll have to work harder to keep the cap in check and bring in some value recruits while maximising TDKs output to benefit the side. I...

    As long as we don't try to low-ball and piss him off while negotiating in good faith it's fine.

    Hopefully you are just vibing it and it's not from a source. Doubt it has a that much pull unless you are unhappy or poorly paid/ managed. We really need to make finals this year just for creating some momentum. Hard to leave a winning environment.

    The danger is that unless that player is generational all the other non generational players think that they are worthy of big dollars too. Nas is a genuine top 20 player in footy. He deserves his payday and being a short contract we are still covered if he drops off or falls over through...

    We need to go now while Sincs and Wilkie are still good. Draft picks are worth nothing to us unless we can turn them into players. Tasmania is taking out all the talent as well.

    Probably too much of the same and they have Langford ready to step in at some point too.

    It's one more chip away at the sum. When Collard comes on or Tauru or Travaglia all of a sudden those small amounts start to add up. We've not been stressed by the cap in any real way yet but I think this list is one that has potential to be very good and that comes with a price.

    I don't think the cap will keep rising for ever. Already TV networks are talking about paying a lot less for media rights in the next deal. If the money pool, dries up players are going to have to take less and caps will need to shrink.

    Last week was the first time that the two rucks has worked. We need to make it work every week now. Funny enough it seems to be Marshall that has elevated lately. If TDK can play as a KPF when not rucking and kick goals he'll be valuable. Hopefully he's heavily front loaded.

    Getting hold of JSOS has off set the Battle loss but we could have taken Tauru with the pick we had anyway. If we lose Wilson and TDK doesn't come on I'm not going to be the only one bringing it up. I bitch and moan when we do dumb stuff and will do it until we stop doing it. I'm also quick to...

    I'd rather one Wilson than all of Butler, Clark, Macrae etc. He'll be a star for 10 years.

    I don't think we should have kept him but for a side losing two inside mids he found the right home. No other club needed him like they do.

    To be fair Hill never bit us on the artse because we never got enough talent in to stretch the cap. He was a poor choice for how Richo played his footy. Long after his contract ended he's repaying the faith but he certainly wasn't a well planned piece of the premiership puzzle. We should have...

    If you have to go and find the equivalent player you will have to pay more in the current market. The market dictates value. We aren't the type of club that has got to a point where players want in for less. You only get there by being in improvement mode. Brisbane built that and now get guys...

    You pay your good youth what the market demands minus a stay at home tax. No point in letting him walk out then paying a fortune to Humphries or Zac Bailey if we can't even hold the basic list together. Good clubs don't lose players that they want to keep. The other guys also have to want to...

    I think he was always a good player in a great side but struggled when he has to carry the weight of others. Back as the 6th or 7th best player in the side he has time space and can play to strengths. Possibly some coaching to maximise what he does well too.

    Feel good stories create their own momentum. We got it under Ratts and then Ross when we were better than expected. Aussies love an underdog story as much as we hate tall poppies. They are a better list than they were given credit for and for, the last 2 years they have chronically under...

    I'm not saying TDK won't or can't improve knob head. Just said he isn't earning his money and his contract has taken up a lot of cap. Both facts. Never said it is happening or is definitely going to happen. Just pointed out that it has the potential to stop us paying players who we need to re...

    It's funny how perception is worth more than realty a lot of the time. Melbourne were expected to be bottom 4 and are a serious side so get lots of media love. We went out and paid up big to get more competitive so get no respect and added to a horror early fixture we didn't look good on the...

    The fact is that TDK is taking a huge chunk of cap. So far he's not performing at the standard that his contract would suggests is value to the side would be. Fact. We know how much cap space there is- the AFL sets that. We know that has been reported as TDKs wage and contract length. Fact...
