You really think after what we've seen over the past 3 trade/free agency periods that Adelaide will or can bring in the midfielder that we need?

Unless you have the ability to make a godfather offer both Dusty and Fyfe are clearly off the table

Then you have rockliff who will be starting the auction with a reserve of $800K and see how high it can go

Didn't the club make it public that they have 0 interest in Rockliff regardless of his price?

Could Burton play JJ's role? I know that there is a big height difference, but JJ doesnt play very tall anyway. I would be ok with trading JJ to Brisbane and getting in Burton. That would free up a big chunk of TPP that we could use to pay for Rockliff as an RFA too.

JJ to Brisbane for their 2nd
Rockliff as an RFA with Brisbane getting pick 2 as compensation.
Burton to Adelaide for our 1st

Basically a downgrade of our pick 1 by about 6 picks for Burton and Rockliff.

If so then the club has to get off its high horse. There are not many players in the competition other than Rockliff that you would have wanted to help out Sloane the last 2 weeks.

Soft spot for Brisbane

There was media article after media article that we'd already come to an agreement with Rockliff.

Then we said "nah mate".

I'm not sure either means much. We have no idea of the truth and nor should we.

And what makes you think Jenkins after just signing on for 4 years on good money would say yeah I'm open to moving to Queensland??

He has a binding contract with the AFC FFS.

You need a reality check mate, this isn't fantasy football.

Don't we have better bikies?
There's an urban legend in the premier league that Steve Gerard was about to leave Liverpool and join Chelsea at the height of his career, until he got a visit from some of Liverpool's finest gentlemen, and he shit his dacks and resigned for Liverpool.

About time our SA boys started pulling their weight in my opinion.

Why, go home factor?

Sydney have played him mostly down back as a rebound run and carry player with their midfield depth, unless it's purely money why wouldn't he stay with the Swans now he's a regular??
