Re: Other clubs trade activity
If Stringer is willing to go to Geelong there could be a decent trade made that might interest a few teams
Geelong
On Stringer, pick #23 (North) and and a future 3rd round (WB)
Off Picks #19, #21 (WB) Lang and pick #52 (North)
Comments: Geelong use pick #23 for Ablett (getting something else back from the Suns) and have secured their aim at the start of the trade period of Ablett and Stringer
North Melbourne
On Lang and pick #52 (Geel)
Off Pick #23
Comments: North add some young midfield depth for the value of about pick #29
Western Bulldogs
On Picks #19 and #21 (Geel)
Off Stringer, and a future 3rd rounder. (Geel)
Comments: The Bulldogs now have some genuine currency with picks 9, 19, 21 and 28 and could trump Essendon for Saad and even make a play for Schache. If we made a play for Saad we would probably get something else back for 2018.

What would Bulldogs JMac ask for now for 2018, for future Suns JMac to have to give up out of pick bag in 2018?

- the AFEL need to see Geelong win it, with the constant slck they've given them about on trading.
- the AFEL needs to ensure there's not one single seat vacant for every home game with the huge cash governments have put in. They want more from governments for Etihad
Probably not best to contrast it to the Higgins compo which was in place during the second round. 4 years at $400,000. The extra $100,000 surely doesn't bump the compo up that much, at least on history. Especially post CBA with a 20%, so Highins figure is really $480,000. So $20,000 gets you into the first round. I wish they told us that.
But I'm cynical so ignore everything I've just said.

The AFL has obviously grown bored of the Suns. They'll soon become a shell company, existing only for other teams to dump bad contracts onto, before inevitably merging with Brisbane.

I think it will be something a bit later but we are probably splitting hairs.

I guess I was saying the AFL trying to overcompensate the Suns.

Possibly, if they can lean clubs towards giving the Suns a but more I'm sure they would consider it.
Suns are probably in the mix for a priority pick next year.

Looks like Saad deal imminent, reading between the lines with what Dodoro said it will be the second round pick from GWS to Suns. (25 i think).

Lachie Weller requests a trade from Freo to Gold Coast. That's right - a player is requesting a trade TO Gold Coast!
