I reckon Lynch will stay. Gold Coast will give him 8 mil over 5 and the AFL will bump it up to 2 mil with ambassadorship or something

Is Wines worth the 2 first rounders Port would ask for?? After a great start to the year his form has tapered off. I'm definitely on the big bodied midfielder band wagon but I reckon he will be expensive trade and could blow out the salary cap a bit when we have guys taking unders (Zerrett, Joey)
Article on AFL.com says he is likely staying anyways.

Essendon looking for midfielder in trade market, but it won’t be Rory Sloane
JON RALPH, Herald Sun
an hour ago
ESSENDON will continue to be aggressive in the trade market as it searches for more established midfield depth.
But Rory Sloane’s age — he turns 29 next March — will count the Bombers out of a tilt for the Adelaide free agent.
Essendon will continue to cheer for the Giants’ downfall because its second-round draft pick is linked to Greater Western Sydney after last year’s Devon Smith trade.
The Bombers handed their 2018 second-round selection to the Suns for Adam Saad, but in an exchange of picks for Smith also swapped their 2018 third selection for the Giants’ 2018 second selection.
The GWS pick currently sits at No. 24, when the Bombers would have expected another top-four finish for the Giants.
The Bombers still have ample cap space despite last year’s acquisitions of Smith, Saad and former Western Bulldog Jake Stringer.
Essendon believes it paid fair prices when it re-signed the likes of Cale Hooker and Michael Hurley as they sat out a year of football for their supplements bans.
It has also cleared salary cap space with the departures of established players Patrick Ryder, Jake Carlisle, Jake Melksham and Michael Hibberd.
Essendon’s frenetic tackle pressure has helped put it back in finals contention but another onball bull would round out a list with few other weaknesses.
Jake Stringer shows off some new artwork at Essendon training on Wednesday.

Go hard at Wines
Nothing story.
Yep but I'm happy that the club will look to trade again
Wines is absolutely worth two first rounders.
I hope we have expressed an interest.
AFL article says we have but also says that he's close to re-signing with Port

Don’t need another predominantly outside mid.
The article is just a take out from AFL Tonight, Jon Ralph & Julian de Stoop were discussing it.
Basically just saying that we have cap space and if we continue to play well, we become an attractive club for some younger inside mids.
The discussion derived from them discussing Ollie Wines' future. Basically just said he's Port bound, but if in the event he weren't interested, we'd be interested.

I doubt we'll have true 'big fish' cap room, but we do probably have 'add a nice piece' cap room if we elect to go that way.
Seems like a good year to just go to the draft though, the 22 seems settled enough, unless you can find someone that improves a position of need massively I suspect it's probably not a bad time to draft and stash a young key forward for a while and add another quality midfielder.

I feel like all my eggs are in the Wines basket.
Will be pretty pissed when he inevitably re-signs.

Age reporting that Cam Guthrie and Geelong are at an impass Geelongs current offer is not enough.
I think he would be a good pick up hope we enquire.

Wines, Sloane and Gaff make the headlines, but its not uncommon for contracted players to move. So we could be into any number of players.
Its also rather early in the season.
Still yet to see how the Lang/Lav combo goes, if Guelfi carves out a permanent role in the 22, Clarke makes a longer term jump, what Mutch can bring long term.
Also got Colyer out of his moon boot (sort out his fumbles and he's still a decent player to have).
