Dusty will be a tiger forever, need to make a hard push for Lachie Neale or Dyson Heppell.
I'm curious to see just how many suspended Bombers actually return to Windy Hill, I'd imagine a fair swag of them will leave.
Fair swag?
6 of the 12 already re-signed.
Might lose 2-3 tops

OK, you'd know more than I. who are the ones that haven't yet?

Yet to sign are Hurley, Hibberd, Howlett, Stanton, Watson and Pears.
Out of those Pears is trying to join the fire brigade, Howlett is unsure but he is from WA and both clubs apparently looking at him. Hibberd getting a lot of attention from Melbourne. Stanton and Watson will be Bombers or retire.
Hurley the key signing and people around the club think he is close to re-signing but the Crows are up to their eyeballs in him

Hypothetical - If the Crows are up their eye balls in Hurley like you say, I wonder if we would be willing to let Jenkins go if we were to get Hurley. Walker plays more FF, Hurley CHF, and you still have McGovern, Lynch as tall forward options.
If Jenkins stays and we were to get Hurley as well, then we would most likely look to off load/delist a tall defender (Otten/Cheney/Hartigan type)and Hurley would like CHB with Talia and Lever.
However, IMO I don’t think we will get Hurley and our first priority will be to get an outside midfielder. IMO Thompson will retire, Brad will resign with his money which still leave 1mill + in the works for any potential recruits/top up of Jenkins contract etc

At a guess I would say so. Jenkins I cant see going anywhere as Adelaide look on the cusp of some sucess.
If you have the space a Neale doesnt sign on with Freo then of course the crows should go for him.

prospects of success cant be ignored imo - especially if you are comparing the crows with Brisbane or Freo - they look pretty unattractive destinations at the moment.

Depends what he wants from life.
$550k x 4 years at Adelaide
$1m x 4-5 years at Brisbane.
Would definitely make you think about it.

Nope will be closer to the mill mark. They know they have to pay overs to get someone up there and they have a ton of cap room plus this years cap space. They desperately want a big signing of a KPP and will throw the kitchen sink at them

is that your guess or do you know something?
All the reports were for 750-800 over 5. And Jonothan Brown didnt deny it when they put it to him

Surely Brisbane have room in their salary cap to pay overs for a KPP.

He is worth probably $550 tops IMO but Brisbane has to pay overs to get anyone up there.
I think he will stay but you would atleast think he is having a look
