[Kcrack]

Would rather a midfielder, Thomas, Cooney etc

Wouldnt mind the Coondog!
at least we would finally have a Brownlow medalist playing for us! looks top notch lately too

we need players that run both ways, we can score no issue with that, its line breakers that we need.

 

[Event Horizon]

My main concern with us going after Betts is who'd take over LT's babysitting requirements on game day? Won't someone please think of the children?

It's up to them to keep their wives at home on game day! I manage to do that with mine without too many problems for the same reason

Cooney's having a solid year, he's averaging around 24 possessions and a goal a game. He'd be a great get, especially with Saunders working his healing magic on his knee.

how much you think he's be worth, restricted isnt he? or we could trade for him..

Currently on $500k+ apparentely.
At his age and injury risk we could probably snavle him for around $350k p/season. i doubt the bullies would try and match that to keep him?

Hmm i have a feeling he would be getting more... maybe 2 year deal at 800... or one at 450....
The doggies are a long way off in my opinion and should let him go, but im pretty sure he will stay there unless we provide a trade, otherwise he looks like a money hungry prick, and from all reports he is a quality bloke.

 

[Damo Crows Fan]

Sorry Noth boys bit I reckon he's coming to Adelaide.

You can have him, his crap.

 

[Uncle_Leo]

Offered $500k a year.

Please out bid us Adelaide, just like you did with Angus Graham

 

[TheKanga]

I wouldn't mind him and LT running around in our forward line next year.
I think he's as good as gone from the Blues.
We wouldn't be paying him 650k per year though...

who offered him $500,000?

 

[shintemaster]

meh ... we've been labelled worse.

I would have gone with "one more couldn't hurt" but yours is okay too.

Not My Fine Club....

You're kidding, sauce?

We wont be countering that offer. Enjoy. 500K for someone who plays exclusively in the forward pocket, has no tank and has already peaked, not mention he turns 27 in november. I hope we take the salary cap space, compo pick & run.

You won't match it, but Adelaide hopefully match it and better it, he is as good as gone

Someone who loves his sauce in HD.

Bloody hope so, I'm with the Carlton bloke on this. Unless it's some sort of frontloaded arrangement and actually works out closer to 300k a year.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Based on his form this year I don't think he is worth 500k a year.

However at his best him and Lindsay would be a potent forward line.

 

[King Corey]

I'm confused. We saying we've offered him half a mill?

I'm not saying it, but my HD loving, lens wearing Sauce is.

And it will be beaten by Adelaide

Barret? I think he is always talking about AFL in hd on twitter.

 

[The Phenom]

Surely this isn't true. Sure he'd be great, but not for that much money. Save it and go all in for Dale Thomas.

 

[King Corey]

I wonder.. if in all the FA focus some clubs might overlook some potentially good traditional trades this season?

Hopefully we're still getting in the ear of any non-FA kids we think could improve North, more Taylor Hine / Ben Jacobs types.

 

[Elite Master]

He would have to come a lot cheaper otherwise no thanks. I rather pay extra for the younger and better Dale Thomas.
