Our SANFL side is going to get murdered (Trengove, Lobbe, Young, Ah Chee, Impey, Monfries, Krak, White, Toumpas) to bring in Rockliff, Motlop and Watts + drafting kids.

If it helps the AFL side get into the top 4 then it's a great move. There were a lot of experienced players taking up too much cap space outside our best 22.

Don't mean to be a dick or think I know too much about the subject, but he wasn't too excited ol' Jack.
Depression is certainly prevalent here and now, he's been pretty much the poster whipping boy of the entire league.
Could it push him over the edge being told 'you're pretty much not needed here, go find somewhere else'?

How far would our offer be off band 1 compo. If it was 100k under, could we bump it up to make it band 1, on the proviso Brisbane then trade a second rounder (or our first back) for Lobbe and pay his full salary.

It would so be ports to get an inside bull who gets 35+ touches on the norm and then turn him into a forward. I'm more excited that if/when (2-4 times a year) when we need a genuine tagger we have this option.

Neither was Ollie’s. Our club has a way of converting people.
Still just the same we can win by not getting Watts. While the club has been outstanding with the FAs they have brought in Watts is different to Matt White and Gus. If we turned him around it would be something right out of the box.
Rocky already shows leadership. Early call to sell Port to the others.

Stoked if the Rockliff news is true. Will prove very valuable if we can get his body right. Been on a slow if not remarkable decline for a couple seasons and had a putrid second half of the year due to his shoulder.

Nevertheless exciting news, I think he'll be great for the group.
