Has he told you that??? Looks as if he wants to keep going to me.

Adelaide will demand our 1st rounder or match the bid as he is restricted.

He is and he isn’t.

Should change to unrestricted once the below comes into effect which was being negotiated by the AFLPA as part of the new CBA

Perfect for us. We need him. And can go to the strong '18 draft with our first rounder or have Disco work his magic on another clubs player.

Woosha’s existing relationship with Sloane after working there pre-taking up our head coach position will be a strong factor.

We’re in no position to be handing over first round picks for 29 year olds.

We need to use our first round pick on a young player since we gave one up in 2017.

Ollie Wines. Turned the game vs Swans. Contested ball & clearance beast. Exactly what we need in our non-existent engine room. Looks like Port are planning to anoint him Captain next year, so Jackets would need to produce a miracle to lure him to Bomberland. Want!

Article in HS today. Wines is about to re-sign.

Thought as much. Not a free agent, but desperately wanted to see him in the red n black. Exactly what we need, but always knew Port would throw everything at retaining him.

We must absolutely throw everything we have at sloane trade everything offer him everything
we simply have to get him in

Why not add another s to our recruits. Smith,saad,stringer and slooooaaannneee!. Lol.

That would be SSSSuper!!

We seemed to finally turn a corner as far as trading-in quality players last year.

Would be good to see us now look at options to trade up into the real pointy end of a draft to land an absolute gun midfielder.

Identify the gun midfielder we want and trade up to get him.

Just like Melbourne who leapfrogged us to get Oliver.

Would hardly call Stringer at the moment quality. Smith is a hell yes and Saad yes.

No doubting Sloanes ability but we need a bigger younger player, Wines @ 190 cm 100kg is the size we need.

Understand, but at least with Stringer we’ve seen him reach AA level so he is ‘proven’ to a degree, we just need to hopefully get him back somewhere near that level over the next 2 years.

He’s certainly no Prismal, Zantuck, Murphy etc

That may the case but extracting one of the best young inside mids in the league is near on impossible and would cost plenty trade wise.

Sloane will cost us nothing besides $$ hopefully. And can still use our 1st rounder on some quality talent.

Sloane the new BJG?

Could do a lot worse.

Very good mail that Sloane is definitely heading back to Melbourne and that we are making a huge play. Might not match the cash offer from Saints/Blues but he is keen on a big Club that is not far from contending. Watch this space.
