Opinion. Long = Dunstan > Ross. Footsteps.
Ross = Newnes. Many can do his role.
Hoping Dunstan stays but on relative coin. If - as likely will play out - he leaves means Steele can be the rightful next owner of Lenny's #7.

Ridiculous

Long averages 9 touches a game and 0.15 goals

Btw
People at that level don’t hear ‘footsteps’

There is no trade value. He can just walk if he wants
Disagree look at what happened with Crouch. Often teams prefer to work out a trade be it for better picks or salary cap flexibility the free agency . If he got hurt then free agency becomes only option.
He may well walk in free agency and compensation is then salary based however in everyone's best interest to have that flexibility

Steele is about to receive his 2nd AA & win his second B&F. I thinks he's earned his right to be himself & have the #9 synonymous with him (& the G Train of course).

Crouch did walk as a free agent

We did not and would not trade for him?!

The only way the other Crouch works is if replaces Ross and and Dunstan.

A starting middle of Steele, Crouch X2 and Hannerbery (if he gets up) is bloody formidable but also seriously needs a serious outside run to compliment it

Well possibly Dunstan is gone (and if not is down the pecking order) and Ross is already not playing as a core ball wining midfielder anymore.

Is he another Hanners re his body though?

I have not at all followed his injury record and so do not know at all. But he missed all of 2021, and missed some games in the three proceeding years.


On the plus side is he is restricted free agent, and having his brother may see him favour us.

On the con side though is whether he actually is the type of mid that will improve us given what mids we already have?

Seb tackled really well Sunday didn't he? Looked Serious.

Bytel seems a biggish unit, slow burn but keeps getting better.

Luke possibly playing/auditioning for a contract away from us last week and it backfired. May not get a glowing reference.

I wonder given that Gold Coast wont have Greenwood for the majority of 2022 with an ACL, would they consider trading Brayden Fiorini for Dunstan and a late pick?

Dunstan will walk to whatever team he chooses and we will get zilth, nada, nothing.

I think that as been mentioned one or two times before.

Apparently - that is not right - I thought so too - but apparently as an Unsigned Free Agent - we would still be entitled to the Compensation Pick

Have we? Do we need to before list lodgement / trading period?

Dunny or his manager might ask the club to delist him so another club can pick him up as an SSP..

I really don't know. I also believe that compo can depend on the amount of his next contract. Which might only be for two years. Its not as if a club has to pry him out of Moorabbin.

Im not convinced he has been delisted yet. He may have been told he's not getting another contract, but until the club officially delists him he holds trade value. The only reason the club would delist him now is if they have a deal with another club to let him walk as a DFA for something in return.

The article says he is moving on not delisted -
