How do they have leftover money for Franklin?
The salary cap doesn't rollover, you either use it or lose it.

He does fit in with their 'Pro Dickheads' policy. Goes hand in hand with the self-entitled supporters too
Not really as the Suns are making the decision to get rid of him they need to take what they can get. They can't exactly say "We don't want you and are going to seek a trade" then turn around and go "Umm, you can stay".
Sylvia's attitude was towards playing football, Bennell is just being the scapegoat for all of the Suns off-field dramas IMO.
Yeah, always shows his value on the field.

Actually it does now in certain circumstances (that i can't remember). They changed it just recently.
Officially getting traded.
Not really sure tbh just trying to justify how they might have the space. As I said, most of their highest paid players will be veterans as well.
True but they're justified in asking for as much as they can get, plus it will most likely come down to a bidding war as well.
Don't get me wrong, I'm very optimistic about what he could achieve here, I'm just pessimistic about our chances of getting him.

never, not under any circumstances, why would you put a rotten apple in your fruit bowl?
He's only a rotten apple because he lived with and was mentored by Karmichael Hunt, a man charged with distributing cocaine amongst the rest of the team.
I'll back Johnson, Walters, Hill etc to set him on the straight and narrow.
He's not Sylvia, a guy at the end of his career looking for one last fat paycheck. He's a young guy still desperate to make a career out of this. I actually think he's in a remarkeably similar boat to Walters when Lyon arrived.
Hawks will be keen to get him on the cheap and replace some aging payers but I can see it going the same way as Dale Garlett for him there.
Would think a move back to WA where his mum gets strongly involved with him again would be the best but is RTB going to take that chance given recent experiences with Sylvia and Simpson. One for thing for sure is we will never get a talent like his from the draft with our picks...

Was thinking the same thing although he does seem a little more inclined to the gangster side of things. Sonny was a bit of a bad boy but he was mainly just lazy.
Still I suspect its the same people denigrating Bennell in this thread as were screaming for us to delist Walters.
I want him/love him and he'd be seriously good for us! but you would have to be very ignorant to think he wouldn't have a negative effect on our culture. Or that we could change his ways!
GC don't want any more youth so we'd have to give up someone like Barlow/Ibbo/Ballantyne + our first pick for him.
I can't see it happening.

I remember Ross saying couple of months ago in a press conf, he would love to have him. The thing about him is that he is a proven quantity compared to Slyvia and Simpson who had to prove themselves.
He isn't worth close to that right now. They are openly saying they don't want him anymore. They are gonna have to take unders for him if they want him gone that badly.
Regardless of where he ends up in 2016 I hope everybody plays hardball with the GCS.
With all the gifts and talent the GC got I feel nobody owes the suns anything, they picked a rotten apple and they deserve the suffer a loss for it.
If we or another club can turn him around good, F#@$ the suns, give them nothing.

Z.Clarke seems a fair trade then.
The big similarity between the two is age, and that's why I have faith in us and him to work it out.
First and a fringe player would have to be it imo. He has some issues so they can't expect the world for him.
