To be fair, he had Jason McCartney as his list manager. The guy who knocked back a first rounder (?) for Josh Hill and went for some other dude with a first rounder who luckily knocked us back because he was delisted the following year.

I think it's an interesting argument.
I've seen an interesting perspective that he did well to get everyone working together in the same direction.
It would be difficult with so many top picks to get them to sacrifice and play roles rather than try to be a star.
Such a strange failed experiment was the plastics.

We also have to cover upgraded contracts for Macrae, English, Smith, Daniel, Dale, Dunkley and others if all re-sign. Reckon at least 1 of these go if we are offering big bucks to a Barass

Yes, this year on (presumably) upgraded contracts, which is the point when discussing cap space.

Not to mention the necessary (massively) overpaying of players to get them to even consider staying, plus the constant turnover of their stars - in the time he was there he had Cameron, Shiel, Lobb, Treloar, Steele, Adams walk out and that’s not even getting started on the mid tier which there’s literally probably 20 odd names you could reel off. Imagine trying to build a cohesive gameplan/team with that sort of turnover - would be completely toxic imo I actually think he’s done well to get them as far as he did.
Champion team over team of champions yada yada yada
Where there's a will, there's a way, I guess. Go Sam Power!And i will double down.

Would be fascinating how we're selling it to him though. And to the Eagles. He's there only genuine experienced KPD who is going to still be around when they'll likely be on the upswing again. Maybe he's got some friendship/family connection with Naughton or English (or Garcia!). I'm guessing it's not JJ!
Or maybe we're going for the retro 1985/86-like teams brimming with tall Sandgropers?!
English = Purser
Naughton = Beasley
Barrass = Rance

Great now I’ve gotten my hopes up again, anything less than Barrass, Jones & Cameron and I’ll lose my shit.
You just bloody know we’ll lose Dunks, resign Sphanger & Stef Martin & bring in Sullivan & Frost

Surely Eagles would ask for Naughton in a trade.
Just can’t see it but would be very, very happy to be wrong.

Especially with Collingwood willing to pay $300,000 for Grundy…
Didn’t know the pub thing..interesting.

He's one of several partners in the pub though, so not like he's manning the bar during the week! I suspect he could live in Adelaide, maintain his investment in the pub and leave it to the other partners to run it.
All signs pointing to him wanting to stay but wants more $$
David Darcy moved to Adelaide in his prime (think he was working for the PMG at the time - what is now AusPost?). Eventually came back, and we still ended up with Luke, and now Sam. So in about 50 years, we should be able to nab Dunks' grandson while the other clubs howl about our decades of father-sons and grandfather-father-sons, and what a leg up it gives us!

Forget the pub, I'm not sure why he'd leave behind a house that he has kitted out with a gym, basketball court, hot and cold tubs and a sauna.
Then they aren't serious about getting a deal done if that us their stance
