Agree. We'd need to get him pretty cheap $'s and draft pick wise to make this worthwhile.
The suns wont want to be seen as giving away established players, especially after last years lyons/lions trade. They will ask for a fair bit under the table while keeping the image above that he is required. Remember this kid was going to be the next great thing when drafted.
Yep, they won’t budge on a first rounder rounder for him. Rumours he is after $600k plus a season also
$600k. Odd. Years ago you'd have to be a star to get that, now he's not even an established player but wanting that money. In comparison Weideman wanted similar amounts at Melbourne (rumoured). That's a lot of money to pay a player based upon potential alone.
Anyway, in other odd Carlton news, we seem hell bent on going for senior players, whilst letting Daisy go. He must feel slightly aggrieved. It's not like our backline is our strongest area.
