Trade you to Port Adelaide.

They could do worse

You would be assured of a game at least.

100% it has, he's our most important by a mile.

I think we saw last night just how important he is to our team.If he goes we will struggle to make the finals,if he stays our premiership window stays open just a little bit longer.

TRUE- SIGN him ASAP. Sign him now Pies, this is now pure insanity to drag this on any longer, and give the Scum hope, sign him an snuff out their hopes. !!

I thought last night showed it's more important to be even over the field and have a decent game plan and execution.. good luck with that paying one player a million bucks

^^Hakws seemed to do okay with what they're paying Franklin .

And it aint anywhere near a million so Trav is obviously a lot better than Buddy

MOST important player in the side, he is the biggest and strongest piece of the spine. Him and Reid are our pillars, bookends if you like, they are the ones you build a side around.

If Travis stays it wont be for 1 million a year.

He wants $800,000 a season for 5 years to remain a pie, he'll go elsewhere for $1,000,000 a season for 5 if we don't agree to his terms.

At the end of the day Travis has just as much chance of getting injured within the next 4 years no matter the length of a contract so why worry what might occur for year number 5.

Sign him.

Yeah I wanna be on page 200 too.

Dont care if he stays or goes, as long as we use his salary cap room wisely and also dont sacrifice ourselves in the future for salary cap pressure.

I'm a bit unsure about where Cloke will be, but I am happy he's looking back into some form.

Going to need him and Dawes firing next Saturday Night.

With free agency, it's difficult to be wise. There's always other clubs who are more desperate and willing to offer more. You are almost always better to keep the talent you have.

If we lose Cloke, the replacement options are slim. There's really only Tippett and maybe Goddard. We'd have to overpay both to get them. Especially Tippett who'll get offers from his home state from teams with more cap room. That's even assuming that either are on the move.
