From the outside looking in it really appears to be a case of draft manipulation, and would the Suns have to be in on it too incase they select " our player "?

He's a risk taker. Ambitious and looking to take advantage of a given opportunity. Should be good for the club.

TBF weren't we paying Daisy 750K for far less output and playing at a level far below what Rockliff can offer us? I have no issue at all with paying Rockliff 700K, 750K etc.
oh yeah I forgot AA was the recruiting baseline... Yes he has elite endurance, run & carry, delivery... Also has elite support around him.I think SPS will do OK though without the extra million per year Scully will cost.

Based on recent history, Brisbane will target Vic Country players. Not sure what GC will do though.

Who would your mob be keen on with the top 2 picks? Dow... and?
I guess we have to give the money to someone and we can go to 105% of the cap for the next 2 years.
Brisbane probably would've taken pick 18 this time last year when they put him on the trade table and have apparently offered him a "modest" contract. I just don't see why we need to pay him $900K that would be required to trigger band 1 compo. We can always use the money, sign up Charlie for longer and start front loading his pay.
Not at all, everything we do is based around trying to win a flag or what's the point? A draft pick at 2 or 18 is insignificant, you could end up with Fyfe or a Trengrove.. It's all about player development once they get into the system.Not only that, they are a potential rival and one extra high draft pick could make a huge difference. All the rumours suggest we are in a panic to improve the midfield for the sake of more wins and not necessarily a premiership.

Dow as you mentioned has been constantly thought to go pick 1. Don't know about the club, but I personally like LDU for that pick 2.
Why would Sos tell Them anything? I doubt we'd have an agreement in place saying we'll pay enough for you to get band 1 but we don't want you to touch Rayner. They'll pick who they want and we cant stop them. It would be more easy for them to say, "we are going to pick LDU & Dow" then we would at least know who we want to prepare for. If Sos told them, they might steal who we want thinking Sos has done a good job in the past..

We were never actually paying Daisy that much, don't always believe the media beat up.
I thought i read if he had triggered the clause in his contract for another year (which he gave up the option to do), it would of been for $375k, but i guess his contract was rather front-loaded?
I think SPS will do OK though without the extra million per year Scully will cost.
Scully is only on about $500-$550k a year now...
SPS and Scully are very different types of players btw as well with different strengths.
We do not have anyone like a Scully in our team at the moment...he would be a good get (though unrealistic imo).

Sad reax onli
If we triggered Band 1 for Brisbane.. we could always trade pick #4 for pick #2 on the basis we wont take Brisbane's 2nd choice at #2. Swap 2018 3rd rounders in Brisbanes favour to get it past AFL's fairness rules.
Allows us to get past GC and not worry about them. Also get more media exposure with a 2nd pick.

Kelly is the best player in the AFL.. wish we had of landed him
Picking selections I guarantee is discussed, can also say people would make arrangements

I'm not sure why people keep throwing Scully's name up. I'll give you three good reasons he ain't coming.
- he has established his life during and after football in Sydney.
- he took a massive 50% pay cut to re-sign so the club could also sign others, good foundation clubman. Won't be a salary dump as others who offer less to club are also available. Griffen is the prime, followed by Mumford.
- and the biggy, happy wife, happy life. He would never agree to it.

He's really performing on a big stage.
2 years... primed to grab him. Final piece of the puzzle

Kelly could be one of the best ever.
IIRC it was only mentioned that we were interested in Scully...nothing more than that.
No word was given if Scully would be willing to join us or GWS willing to trade him.
I think there is a very low chance Scully leaves GWS.

Hahaha you probably had a valid retort, up until you compared Scully to SPS
