Tony74Where did you hear that Scoops
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.Please explain , we have two key forwards to come back into the team as it is

I could support this idea!I guess moving to an "all Milfs" drafting policy is a natural evolution from the "no d!#kheads" ethos under richo?
Got the oil from a departed poster on here that used to PM me and VDS.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?
Bring him homeGot 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.

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.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.
Battle royale between list managers. Whoever wins gets Touk, second Rowell, and so on.What would happen to Gold Coast’s player if they folded and of year?
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…
Anderson recently signed to the end of 2027I 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.

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.When is Ben Kinga free agent?PLAYERCARDSTART34Ben King

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.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.

Wont happen but they would nom the draft, or the PSD.What would happen to Gold Coast’s player if they folded and of year?
Hit the Draft hard this year, more midfielders and outside class. We need more depth there if some of our current stocks stagnate.Might depend on where both finish on the ladder.

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