First priority is to lock those two away for certain. Two very good players who seem to love the club

SPP has already signed Wines will be the interesting one. He's publicly declared he wants to stay...but at what cost financially? Not sure Port can match the $ he'll get offered from Saints, North, Collingwood etc Then again, players have stayed for less before.

A 10 year captaincy role there for the taking for him, he aint going anywhere.

Yep, will cost him millions but he will stay at Port for good

Already got gigs with 5AA and C9 and by the end of his footy career he'll have his commercial pilots licence. He's not going to be short.

If we were to attract anyone to the club next year it would be Lynch. But with Watts coming in, no chance now.
I know we were keen and had dialogue with Lynch, but Watts came out of the blue and grabbed him instead knowing we weren't guaranteed anything with Lynch. Not too tight on the cap with a bit of room to move

No way are you getting Lynch unless you mean Alistar coming out of retirement. Victorian clubs would have far more money to offer

lynch would go back to victoria if me moved you would think?
Speculating, but St Kilda would be the one I reckon. If they have a half decent year they will still have the cap space to throw him a mega deal

As i said, with Watts coming in, the coin for Lynch isn't there anymore. We wouldn't be able to compete with the 1.5 Million dollar offers from the likes of north & the saints.

The AFL ain’t letting Lynch leave the Suns. They will ensure he gets his worth. They are paying Weller $600k outside of the cap so imagine what they would give Lynch

If Lynch were to move, it has Collingwood written all over it.

Wines is not worth $1m+
Jake Lever not worth $800,000 but Melbourne are paying at least that much.....
