I can't really remember any time recently a player has done this stuff, then been traded as apposed too just sacked or fired. What happens if Harley sais I want to be traded to Hawks or Melbourne no one else, and both those teams know gold coast aren't or won't keep him. I would think clubs will give up less knowing you want to unload him. He's also coming with this stuff hanging over his head. If you guys get market value for him skill wise it's an absolute steal

The beauty of Adcock is that he may not have to uproot his family from Queensland to another state.

Do a "Raines" when the roles were reversed and he travelled to Brisbane while living on the Coast.
Its an easy deal to drive down the road I think he has more than a year left in him too - looked bloody poised and confident on the weekend under pressure

If fact leaning towards great news.
Believe me many of the boys are breathing massive sighs of relief.
A couple more to go but may pull heads in now ring leaders gone. They have been improving a lot lately especially Fish.
McKenzie is just so laid back he's almost permanently napping. More interested in PS 4 than footy but right group may lift him.
Reality would be starting to set in as really only Fish, who is rehabilitating well, and Mc K left in the brat pack.

do you rate Howe in our 22 or think he is risky as many of the Demon supporters say he is? I think he could be some real X factor for us up forward
I'm on the fence.. A lot of guys here rate him and a lot of guys this he is a 1 trick pony.. Marking!!!

For 300k I'd accept if he came but nothing near 500

That's because clubs don't normally make a tough stance with their quality. I remember Swan guilty of assault, Marley Williams guilty of assault and not being moved on. We'll get market value.

There is sooo much upside with Harley teams with the dollars available will back themselves to nurture and support him to great things, there's too much competitive interest in him for clubs to try to steal him, more than one club will pay the asking price

I don't really think trading him is the best option but the club is pretty fed up with him. I also can't see us getting much for him now unless another club is VERY confident in their ability to turn him around. (Fingers crossed though) But the guy needs some serious help. He clearly has a problem with alcohol and either hasn't accepted it yet or he doesn't care. I really hope he gets the help and doesn't wind up wasting the opportunity he has in front of him.

Also, this period before trade week just went from unbearable to now almost not wanting to come on here with the crap other teams are going to be offering us.
