Please explain , we have two key forwards to come back into the team as it is
Well, Silvani was all over the ground last night supporting De Koning so I wasn't thinking too much about him as a forward as much as a big guy that can help in the ruck, but really play anywhere. I thought his second and third efforts were really good and stood out from his team mates - on that note either Curnow was gassed early in the forth or he's not big into defensive efforts because when Adelaide got the ball he became a witches hat.

Plus of Membrey and King, neither will help in the ruck much, Hayes, who looks good will have been out at any playing level for nearly a year and a half and so we don't really know how he'll go after that.

He could really take the job that Cordy is fulfilling, or was even meant to fulfill in the backline and either way be an upgrade - plus both his father and grandfather were two of the best fullbacks in history, so it's in the blood.

Its always been mutual i think


Their dream was to both play for the saints
Draft didnt work out and bing went north
He was then offered massive coin plus the 150k ambassadors money by the afl
Feom memory on here a few werw saying even the saints said he was crazy to not take it and set himself up early on

Then try and get him after a couple of years
Joffaboy do u rememebr this?
I remeber a while ago a few talking about it on here and have this vague memory of us telling his parents he would be crazy not to take that deal?

Anyone?
Got the oil from a departed poster on here that used to PM me and VDS.
After two years Bing said he wanted to go home, was on his way. This next is common knowledge, Bing's dad rang Lethers and told him the deal. Lethers said he had to take it. The deal was
On top of his salary he got and extra 150k 'Ambassador' money from the AFL, outside the SC, if he signed for three years. Constraint was if he left he forfeited the current year and any remaining years, so if he left year one he lost $300k.

Ludicrous or whatever his name is got the same deal.
So Fold Coast got 900k outside the cap to keep them because they are a cultural wasteland.
After that he resigned, don't know what sweeteners AFL gave him this time.

Saved us, we got NWM and Pou from the firsts we kept.
He looks shattered playing for that joke money pit AFL Admin folly of a club.

When is Ben King a free agent?

I’m all about the Bing train, but not at the expense of first rounders going to the draft for the next few years.

Players qualify for restricted free agency after 7 full seasons (I think, official wording is the rather daft "Qualifying for restricted free agency means the players are entering their eighth or ninth seasons"), Bing was drafted in the 2018 draft so end of 2025. Awkwardly he's currently contracted until the end of 2024.

Got a letter from Bennie just the other day
Livin' in Queensland was not okay
Said they cant fill the stadium just to pay the rent
And a win on the weekend, thats just heaven sent
And he's been livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to play for the sun
He won't fall for that same old trick again

And Swallow's alright, he just gets lonely everyday
All the other players and most of the fans live far away.
And there he is, but here he'll stay
"Well, it just never works out" he said "Anyway!"
He's been livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to play for the sun
He won't fall for that same old trick again

Garys's not tired of livin' down beside Torquay
He's gotten' himself together, financially
Says, "Most of these days I'm just gonna lie in the sun"
"But right now I'm wondering how those others are so dumb?"
he's been livin' on the razor's edge
Tryin' to play for the the sun
he won't fall for that same old trick again

Got a letter from Dewy just the other day
It said you can live next to Joe in Byron Bay"
Well, the heart says, "Go", and the head says, "Stay"
And the big wheels just keep turnin' everyday

And don't go livin' on the razor's edge
tryin' to play for the sun
'Cause you'll just fall for that same old trick again
(That's what they tell ya)

For Millenials

 
Ross isn’t getting any younger.
Billings isn’t a midfielder.
Steele is becoming injury-prone.
Jones can’t get on the park.
Bytel can’t stay on it.
Gresham may leave in FA.
Byrnes was written off until very recently.
Stocker has played four games with us, that’s it.

That’s eight already.

You don’t stop improving in the middle… that’s how you end up with the Richo years…

Correct. I am loving what we are doing atm and this season so far has been great fun but the reality is Hill, Crouch, Ross & Wood are all turning 30. No need to panic and we don't need to go crazy/over the top, but getting in available talent needs to happen. We have done amazingly well with NAS, Owens, Pou, Caminiti & Windhager, and right now they are all dirt cheap cap wise. I hope this crop is the one we've been wanting for 10 years. Hunter Clark just turned 24, Coff will be back and Byrnes is showing good signs. But we need to capitalise as Steele, Roma, Dougal, Membrey, Sinks and Wilkie are right in their prime years (27-28) and will be approaching 30 sooner then we think.

**Edit - I completely forgot we have Max King on our list, shows how exciting things are at the moment!
 
I really want Gold Coast to succeed and to hold onto their best players and build something as formidable as Matthews's Brisbane,

but selfishly, I'd also absolutely love to get Noah Anderson and Ben King home, particularly the former. Hope that Gubby is cooking something up with a certain Saints board member.

Anderson recently signed to the end of 2027

When is Ben King a free agent?

Whether he’s a free agent or not he’s going to cost us draft picks because he’ll be a RFA and the Suns will match like GWS did with Jeremy Cameron. One draft pick for someone like Ben King is nowhere near enough.

Might depend on where both finish on the ladder. They didn't match for Tom Lynch because the draft picks Richmond were going to be able to offer weren't great and they were down the bottom of the ladder at the time.

I think you are most likely right though, fair chance we'd have to trade for him.

I think we will have another crack at him next year.

Hit the Draft hard this year, more midfielders and outside class. We need more depth there if some of our current stocks stagnate.

Then target Bing trade at the end of 2024.


2025
Rucks: Marshall, Heath, Keeler (50%)
Tall Forwards: Ming, Caminiti, Keeler (50%)
Tall Backs: Bing, Howard, Battle, Van Es, Adams.
Kids Mids: Windy, Phillipou, Owens, Nas, Hotton, 2023 Draftees.

Looking pretty good, would be great if Keeler comes on and Caminiti can chop out in the ruck.

Agree, although I don't see Bing keen on making a move back to defence

We still have Allison and Sharman as tall forwards too.
