What is his contract worth?

On SM-G960F using BigFooty.com mobile app

It's priceless!

 

[TheSunGod]

Yes the Grand Plan coming together nicely.
Gold Coast Suns 2.0

Now all we need is someone to get to work on an improved guernsey and club song.

So much this!

FOUR years after departing Gold Coast for Geelong, ruckman Zac Smith will return to the Suns in the coming days.

AFL.com.au understands the 29-year-old has agreed to join his original club with a deal to be finalised between the Suns and Cats before Wednesday's Telstra AFL Trade Period deadline

It is expected his role will also include a development and mentoring position post-football.

As reported last week, the out-of-contract Smith was weighing up interest from the Suns and Essendon but decided on the Suns to return to his native Queensland.

It is expected his role will also include a development and mentoring position post-football.

Ben King was our best key forward this year. If we pay him about 600-700k that's probably his worth tbqh. No-body else played with the swagger he did.

2MP is going to need a big pre season to even entertain getting a spot

 

[Greendogg]

Ollie Wines looking to get out of Port. Be nice to get someone else's Captain.
He would be the marquee mid we need to take that jump next year. I believe he wants to get to Victoria though.

Hard pass. Slow as hell and his ball use is diabolical

It's going to be 2MP or Daysie fighting for CHF

Rankine King Holman/McPherson/Young
Sexton Day/2MP Ainsworth

Strong argument that 2MP may develop not taking the best KPD every time

edit: forgot Sean Lemmens- who will no doubt play every game in 2020!

The thing about Zac is I have to juggle my great admiration for him as a person with my strong dislike of him as a footballer!!

Provided he prays all day for Witts to stay healthy and never shows up in AFL I am ok with it.

We need someone to back up Witts don't think there are a lot of options unless Dan Currie is still around.

If Nicholls didn't retire it would not have happened.

There is a reason why he was #4 ruckman at Cats. I still remember when Nicholls beat him handily for ruck spot. I would expect there are VFL, SANFL, NEAFL ruckmen who would appreciate the opportunity and do the same or better job than Smith.

Coming up next on Trade Radio dwayne russell Michael Barlow and special guest guy mckenna I’m out

Edit - Russell first comment on Ben King re-signing great news for the suns BUT if they don’t turn it around next year he will still walk out the door like Scrimshaw

 

[Jen2310]

Still could have.. As Tom had interest from other clubs apparantely.

I like McKenna... he was treated harshly by the club.

Squires Loft at Docklands is a thoroughfare of recruiters and player managers... can’t see our guys

“It was always Gold Coast for me,” King told reporters at a press conference next to Albert Park Lake on Monday morning.
“I said at the start that I was going to wait until the end of the year to make a decision. I felt no pressure to re-sign earlier or anything like that. I just waited for the right moment and re-signed.”

It means the twins – who were rarely apart during their first 18 years – won’t be playing football together any time soon. Not that Max is too disappointed.
“He is stoked for me,” King said.
“We talk about that sort of stuff a fair bit. He took it really well and he was happy for me to sign on.”
King’s signature was nearly 12 months in the works.

What did he do right? I just can't agree with that. The culture he allowed is what put us in this spot. Yes he was inexperienced, but no excuse for half the crap that went on behind closed doors

Bull*** he should never have been coach he set the club back 10 years.
He let a drug culture almost destroy the club

If I wasn’t having such a full on day with work I’d have written a lot more

Yeah he let us down by not being on the ball with his off field awareness. Didn’t teach the leaders to lead.
Our game style I admit was great but off field he just failed miserably.
