We should offer them Matty Eagles so he can get some AFL games in, would be one of their most aggressive players, could plant him back, forward or ruck.

The Suns needed leadership in the 2nds & around the club, not just in the 1sts. GHS has provided that. He was also recruited as a senior body, who could be used as a top-up midfielder to cover injuries to younger players. He wasn't successful in that role. The Suns now require recruits who can add value in the 1sts.So poor recruiting, mark it down as dont do that again.

Can't begrudge Burgoyne going up there for a few years on decent coin. He's done so much for the club and has been a legendary player for us.
I hope we can get something in return for him though, which seems unlikely.

Indeed. He's unlikely to get to 400 if he stays with us, but injury permitting he'll definitely get enough games together over 2 years at GC.
I would also like to see GC succeed - and Burgers will do as much at GC as Hodge has done at Brisbane.
Both of those issues at play - happy to let him go for a 4th rounder.
Given GC will probably have a crapload of picks in rounds 1-3, we might even be able to get a 3rd rounder for him as GC can only use so many picks.
Is there a story for Horlin Smith, injury, pre season? Sort of recruit I'd think should be a starting 22 player, lesson for recruiters.
Depends how many zeroes are on the end of the AFL's ambassadorial payment cheques.
that would be crazy. Burgoyne making it to 400 games despite the knee injuriesIndeed. He's unlikely to get to 400 if he stays with us, but injury permitting he'll definitely get enough games together over 2 years at GC.

I was assuming we are offering Burgoyne 1 year (as always) and GCS are offering 2. But someone on our board said GCS has offered 3 years. Just crazy to offer that many years to someone at his age.
Cant imagine Hawthorn budging from 1 year either. So there is a very solid chance he moves to GCS. Will be a shame if he celebrates his 400 in a plastic jumper.
Harsh words from a supporter of an expansion club...where's the camaraderie?
