Agree. He started the game on fire, haha.
I also think he will stay. Let's see how a talk with Harwick goes

Will never understand why dew has this guy on the fringes. Absolute star
Why? They aren’t going to get to use pick 5/6. In this scenario they get ahead of the Walter bid and get additional top 5 player in the draft in the form of McKercher/Duursma or Watson.
We’d be able to offer more $ than most, he’d also be guaranteed midfield time. Obvious things, but I do agree North is a hard sell.
Flanders and his whole family barracked for North as a kid so there is a bit of connection there.
Because he couldn’t see players strengths only their weaknesses and played favourites
Should of been sacked 2 years ago
To be fair, Dew played Flanders this year when he was healthy. Not in the middle early this season but after coming back from injury Flanders did get midfield minutes under Dew like now.
And free farm.
It’s highly likely to be pick 4, and you would have to have pick 1 to ensure no bid is made.
Plus don’t think we want another draftee. If Flanders goes he should get us a pick in the teens. Meaning we can sell pick 4 to the highest bidder to cash in.

Dew was a hack who played his favourites. Was totally out of his depth.

Pies right into him.
He doesn’t struggle to get a game at the Suns though.
Clearly he was out of favour with Dew, who doesn’t have a job now. He is well and truly cemented in that side and has been one of their best players over the last 2 months
He would be a great get if you could secure him. I’m still hopeful he stays but as Dimma won’t be at the club until after the exit interviews there is a big chance he is leaving as he is likely to make his intentions known at that meeting

Damien Hardwick loves Sam Flanders (and vice versa apparently)
Flanders will be singing a new contract at Gold Coast within the next 48 hours, expect an announcement from The Suns early next week (or possibly sooner)
He is staying for less money at GC than what he could have gotten at other clubs.

Inside Trading linking him with Hawks. I struggle to come up with a trade that would work there. Surely he's up to being worth a teen pick at least at this stage and Hawks have nothing close currently and will not be wanting to break that first pick (quite rightly).
It doesnt make much sense to switch firsts either though maybe Suns could play hot potato with some first round picks, slipping and sliding all over the place until they have what they need.

Don't really see the need for Flanders for us anyway.
Struggling to fit Ward, Macdonald and McKenzie into the midfield rotations as it is.
No one wants to go to North!
Whatever pick/s the Suns receive for him this year will be eaten up by academy bids anyway. They would be more worried about how many points they can get rather than where the pick actually lies.
If we trade pick 4 which is highly likely we will be looking for points as you say. The issue is the rule changes mean we have to have list spots for all the points we use. Lots of late picks won’t work so a pick in the teens as Snuff suggested would be what we are looking for
I’m not suggesting a heap of late picks, but their first two picks are currently worth around pick 19 so I don’t see the Suns putting up a huge fight.
Either that or they use a future pick. Rarely does the club not having a pick in the right range prior to trade period become an issue.
Getting Logue last year suggests otherwise.

Definitely agree and it’s probably being short sighted but with their hand and, bringing in McCabe and only really losing Brockman it feels a lot more awkward than normal.
If he did go to Hawks it would be worked out. Maybe future 2nd and current 2nd
