Dew's presser."Getting details ironed out"
He has gone to another level in the last 6 weeks or so. Perhaps his management is doing a last minute push for more? Would hope not, but wouldn’t blame them.Wonder what the suns & Rankine are waiting for

Don't know that wing is 'rest' but love the conceptThat would be the dream. Be great to have a ruck combo when Witts retires where Moyle could rest forward and Mac could play as a ruck and rest as an intercepting defender / tall wing

Wasn't he dropping hints on his Insta awhile back?Wonder what the suns & Rankine are waiting for
Daniel Rioli would be a solid pick up for us. 25 years old and will have close to 150 games under his belt at the conclusion of this season. That's literally the sweet spot in terms of recruitment so I'm all for recruiting another freakishly talented indigenous player that has some x factor about his game. D.Rioli is already a three time premiership player so he knows what it takes to perform on the big stage and that could be invaluable going forward.Can only bring in those wanting to come.
Dan Rioli mates with our ex-Tiger players and our indigenous lads. Probably would love playing in the NT & the time spent up there giving back to the local communities.
Right age bracket and versatile.
Instant Weller replacement.
Plenty of upside.
Theres also the Rioli winning a flag at every club they play at too.Daniel Rioli would be a solid pick up for us. 25 years old and will have close to 150 games under his belt at the conclusion of this season.

It'd also be nice to start a Rioli tradition at our club. It's obviously a famous footballing family and having a Rioli in your team is a great way to endear yourself to the general public in the NT. I'm confident we would get a lot more fans in Darwin if we recruit a Rioli to go with Jeffrey and Rosas.

Surely we use our first, take the best couple of academy players and move everything else to next year to bank points for these two academy forwards that are going well? Walter and Reid (i think?)
Would happily trade the first for the right player too.
Crab does describe some mids very accurately.
Shifting sideways with both arms in the air looking for a sideways handball, any sideways handball. Then defends the same way.
How many academy kids are the Suns bringing in this year?
Feel they will bring in more kids and trade or let go older fringe types simply to free up and reallocate cap space. Over the years we all know some of those fringe players would have got bigger contracts just to stabilise the list.
Fioroni? Is he still under contract in 2023?
As you say the list size will be the key factor. It may need reducing again? I think all teams must draft 3 players? So we may need to lose 5-6.List size will be important factor.
I don't see any academy kids worth drafting this year but I don't follow them closely. Looing forward to see what Uwland can do next year when healthy.
Faulkhead looks promising.
Potential changes:
Trade - Fiorini, Macpherson (no interest?).
Not re-signed - McLennan, Corbett, Burgess (hope not), Constable, Graham (probably not).
De-listed - Nicholls, Conroy, Murtagh, Tsitas, Ace (can he still stay as cat B?).
You would hope that the club already knows what will happen with our list size. It affects everything.As you say the list size will be the key factor. It may need reducing again? I think all teams must draft 3 players? So we may need to lose 5-6.
Reading the draft-watcher threads it doesn't seem like we have any highly ranked kids this year. But that doesn't mean there aren't any there either, Brock was a surprise pick last year.
You would certainly hope so, but anything is possible in the AFL.You would hope that the club already knows what will happen with our list size. It affects everything.
I read somewhere that Evans is talking to AFL about our concessions.You would certainly hope so, but anything is possible in the AFL.
Yes, great talent but personally, I don't think it's our priority. Weller, Powell will be back, we got excellent Budarick already (played only 25 games), Farrar is improving and becoming best 22 (played only 20 games), Markov is also there and improving (played 47 games), Sharp is developing, Hollands waiting for opportunity (plays on wing a lot recently), Atkins can play wing/HB.With recent injuries i think we should be all in on will day. Has had a bad run with injuries but if he gets his body right could be an elite half back/wing or even end up in the midfield.

Covid re-arrangements really did stuff our spreadsheets up hahaI compared it with my spreadsheet. No guarantees
Markov – 2022. No announcement on extension yet.
Uwland, Brock - 2023. I expect they got 2 years contracts but yes, it could be only 1 year.
Rosas – 2023. He had to extend last off-season, I would expect 2 years, no announcement.
Davies – 2022. No announcement on extension yet.
Macpherson – 2024. I believe they spread his contract, 2 extra years.
Atkins – 2024 + 1. Extra year subject to incentives.
Powell – 2025.
Corbett – 2022.
