probably norf. They need mids and have cash to spend.

I'm happy if we sign Atkins but cool if we don't. He's an upgrade on a lot of our list.

I'd be tipping the Demons. They are most in need of some outside run.
Norf have already been burnt with Polec and Hall. I think they may have learnt their lessons.
fiorini would be nice if he got to play midfield minutes.
Considering he is our biggest ball magnet.
And was 5th in our B&F
mind you he sucks at back pocket or forward pocket etc 4 touches a game

Suns need a Tom Stewart type.
Half back.
Plays big or small.
Has a good fist.
Aggressive hard at it tackler.
was close to Cats best last night.
Suns don’t have any aggression in the back half.
All very vanilla.
Minus Collins love for Tom Lynch

Fiorini offers no point of difference to Swallow, Miller, Greenwood. And he isnt as strong in the contest as those 3, he just doesn't have a spot in the middle at the moment. Needs to work on his run and carry and footskills to move into the team.
He finds alot of ball but usually does **** all with it, last year he went by only 50% by foot. That's appalling for someone who kicked it 16 times a game. Miller for example is kicking 66% by foot this year. Greenwood and Swallow are as bout as bad kicks as Fiorini but are so much better in contested ball situations then he is.
Its hard and it seems unfair but he just doesnt have a stand out trait that gets him across the line

Yep. Although I like Ballard as well, he needs a few more kilos.
There’s a reason they call the backline the Men’s Department. A few try their guts out every week but currently we’ve got too many boys down there.
Look at the great Lions side - Leppitsch, Michael, Darryl White, Ashcroft, Chris Johnson, the Scott twins (or as my old man used to call them, the Kray brothers). Need to develop a backline that opposition Forward line feels sick in the stomach at the thought of playing. I think most of our opposition still look forward to playing us to increase their goal tallies.
Hope we can pick up someone as good as TMac
Given we gave him away I hope we have to pay huge money to replace him
Another player whose pass mark during his time at the Club was a bit higher than others
Good to see him getting recognition for his talent at Port
I feel the same way about him as I guess some Freo supporters feel about Collo

See!It's possible to express your dislike for him as a player without questioning his character or courage!
I still think he's a player who many many other AFL teams would love to get but he has been disappointing this year for sure

I do get a bit carried away when watching the games but his actual game efforts this have being appalling, playing with no heart or desire. Just really struggling to see a future for him here with our midfield balanceSee!It's possible to express your dislike for him as a player without questioning his character or courage!

TMac was a very late bloomer, played a lot of SANFL before he got his chance at Port, was very close to being on the scrap heap at Port as well.
Not a release that keeps me up at night this one.
As fans we all see different things
He played good football for us when we had no tall backs
I think he was hard done by but glad he's making the most of his opportunities at Port
I would rather have kept him over Hanley

Foxfooty.com.au understands the Suns will attempt to convince Atkins to head east with the carrot of a four or five year contract.
The long-term security will be Gold Coast’s bargaining tool, rather than pure finances.
The Crows believe Atkins must either have already verbally agreed to a deal elsewhere or have one lined up, though they have no visibility on whether he will accept a Suns proposal or head home to a Melbourne-based team.

Surely you guys aren’t going to give ratkins a 4-5 year deal. I think it’d make a lot more sense to try and get someone like laird who is an elite ball user on the outside.
Wow that’s desperate offering a 4 or 5 year contract to him

I hope we don’t commit to that but knowing our administration I won’t be surprised if we do especially with some of their questionable decisions that have raised eyebrows several times among the industry.
Why do we go after some substandard player offering a huge contract when there is potentially other players who have grown an interest in joining the Suns who are better players?! When you lock average players into big contracts like that especially at the moment with COVID, you really stand yourself in the foot- hope I’m wrong but it’s just the reality

Atkins isn't getting a game for the worst team in the comp, let that settle in.
Shows he's not good enough, and doesn't have enough leadership to warrant trying to keep him.
