So the Suns have dropped Jack Martin ... fancy that.

It could be harder for them now to command top dollar in terms of a trade for a player you drop late in the season. Having said that I'd offer our first round pick for him

Are you altogether certain he's been dropped for 'form' reasons though?

I'd muse it's been made clear to them he's goneski so they've done about the only thing they can do; drop him.

Watch him go to bloody Hawthorn.

He had a poor game last week and perhaps combined with thought he might be heading south the Gold Coast MC decided to drop him along with Peter Wright

Sam Power has asked the Suns that future Western Bulldogs player/s not risk injury before being traded. Sensible really.

He had one game back from injury, very strange.

What would he be worth as far as draft picks are concerned?

Our first pick. I'd do it too.

I tend to agree but I suspect they will want more though but given they have dropped him on form it makes it harder for them

Our first round pick for Martin and a 3rd rounder would be a good outcome if we could swing it

[Mofra]

What would he be worth as far as draft picks are concerned?

Our first with Gold Coast's late first (18/19) coming back to us?

I'd love to try and trade for both GWS first rounders and offer the later one for Jack Martin with a future 3rd or 4th coming back to us.

Jack simply shouldn't have been playing last week due to injury. If anything it shows he cares about playing. I really think he's the type who would play better in a better side - not dissimilar to Sam Lloyd who lacks Martin's pace and overhead ability.

Do they need more draft picks? I'd be trying to satisfy them with a player deal. They need big bodied inside mids. We have a surplus it appears. Mitch / Lin springs to mind as hard as that is to throw up. We may need to sweeten the deal, but I'd prefer that scenario I think.

Is he really worth pick 8-10?

[bulldogtragic]

Is he really worth pick 8-10?

I don’t think so, I’m an advocate for trading down a top 10 pick to multiple mid/late first rounders.

[Testekill]

Is he really worth pick 8-10?

He is not, I'd say he's worth a pick from 18-23 but we can't do that. I guess trying to turn our first into the 2nd rounder and Martin might not be too bad.
