Being from Adelaide he's probably prepared to take unders to stick around, 175K or so. Could see a club offering double that and give him game time to move him. Could see Gold Coast, Fremantle and us having a crack. Gold Coast have a bunch of picks in the 20's that might entice you.
Gold Coast has been floated before, I believe his brother lives up there currently as well.

Not happy with this at all unless we've got better mids coming in. Otherwise it makes no sense. We've had this guy on our list for 6 years. He's had a good year and we are going to trade him for pick ******* 29?

A pick that might not even play a game and will be years away before contributing.

What the ****.
I agree that if it's all we do then it's a bit odd, but I suspect there's a reason we apparently haven't been working too hard to sign up a current best 22 player.

Personally I'd hope for a little more than pick 29 on its own, maybe their 3rd rounder as well, but then our hasn't been our style to haggle over the steak knives, as long as the meat of the deal suits our needs.

Maric was good but he played under your system and went backwards.
Kinghts was hit cruelly by injuries, no ones fault.
Maric was good but his body couldn't give any more. Game also gone past him a bit. Great man.
Did we give you anything for Big Gus?
Oh shit forgot about him. Graham + 53 for 42.

That pick 29 will soon be pushed back half a dozen picks, unless it's being used it's useless.

Still think we are eyeing off Menzel or Hampton for that next midfield spot (with a 2017 full pre season).

Don't forget these list managers trade accordingly for 2-3 years down the track, not for next year only (2016), they were never a chance of a midfield spot this year.
Menzel wasn't drafted in to play primarily as a forward, he will most likely take Douglas's spot next year, while Dougy takes JL's midfield minutes.
Rockliff for Thommo.
Wish I shared your confidence on Menzel becoming a starting midfielder, I'm just not seeing it personally.

I don't think he'll be a late out but I remember watching Dangerfield late last season, after he obviously had decided to leave and he didn't give a hundred percent in some games/contests. I don't give a **** who wants to argue with me about it. I even posted about it at the time.

I just hope that Lyons (if the rumours are true) gives his all. We have a semi-final coming up ffs.

I'm a little excited. It's really starting to sound like we're clearing room in our midfield and Thommo may not get another year after all. My bet is one big fish and one promotion from within, i.e. a Knight/Wigg/Milera all of whom bring something different to our fairly homogenous midfield.
