I'll wait til the offical announcementfinally some good news.
Its nice to get players who were linked to during the year. I'm optimistic of him.
there is a lot of reports out there saying it... so fairly likelyHopefully the Elllis news is true. He is pretty good I reckon and improves the list. I’m ok with overpaying a little you simply don’t land the player if you don’t go hard and the number suggested didn’t seem as bad as scrimshaw for 400k
Nobody does but the fact that there is no noise around this i would say its only a PPWell, at least we attracted a best 22 player to the club.
Time will tell whether this is good news or not..
You said band aid fixes are being asked for by the Suns - but you don't really know what the Suns are asking for.
Yes agree , Have to consider that a melbourne boy having interest from 2-3 other melbourne clubs would need a reason to move interstate and to a team that needs help.Hopefully the Elllis news is true.

The submission centres on many proposals to assist player retention.What annoys me is that the real issue's are not being mentioned and just band aid fixes being asked for by the Suns.
The Suns need to ask the AFL for a significant amount of help and not just accept a PP and move on
* Club needs PP in 2019/2020/2021 to trade for an established under 30 player if not available can use in the draft
* Club needs extra 4 spots on the main list & 5 spots extra on the Rookie list for 5 years
* Club Needs an extra $1,000,000 on the cap for 5 years
* Club also needs to have the right to select 5 queensland players prelist them prior to the draft
This club cannot be fixed with just 1 x PP
A number of interviews from Dew and Cochrane over the past few months have indicated there were multiple components addressed in the submission to the commission. Not just a PP - for the very reason you have outlaid.Nobody does but the fact that there is no noise around this i would say its only a PP
Yeah im debating with him on the main board about that and he has no info just what he heard probably read on forums, Ellis would not do thatI saw a Carlton poster saying today that they had a deal in place with Ellis, but apparently he asked for more money when they lost out on Coniglio. And then they passed on him. Their loss is the Suns' gain. Yes, he's a mercenary who was looking for the highest bidder, and the Suns had to overpay a bit, but best 22 veterans don't grow on trees, this is a very good addition and shows that the Suns are capable of attracting notable players in FA.
this in spadesPositive news about Ellis.
Now let's convince Greenwood to come and draft Rowell + Anderson. Our midfield is considerably better with those four and we will only have to give up a second/third rounder to secure Greenwood. The rest will cost us nothing.
If it is 600K per year that is not overpaying by too much. I was expecting that figure. Anyway hopefully it might help to attract other free agents and trade targets.Hopefully the Elllis news is true. He is pretty good I reckon and improves the list.

I could see our offer being heavily front loaded, something the Crows can’t offer. .Garry and Tim
