Interesting development that surfaced last night.  hard to see  Freo giving up Sandi though whilst still in premiership window. may be different if they win the premiership this year though.

Suns trying to buy a premiership whilst Ablett still at his peak.

Thought Gold Coast had enough big men :o

[kilbluff1985]

yeah i think it's stupid getting Sandi for a year might cause a younger ruckmen to leave

Might be a good chance to get back some of our good young West Aussie boys for the future.

Sandi is set to be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season and good luck getting GC to part with any substantial kids in a trade for him :p

Will be interesting to see what the compensation pick would be for him if he were to go to Coast.

probs second round... similar situation to malceski you'd think.

[valkorum]

The compensation would prob be a 1st round due to the contract size being talked about.

Although I am not sure about whether I would like this or not.  Ask me this at the beginning of last season (or the one before, old and losing my memory) and I prob would have taken it.  I was open to trading him for the right price.

Ask me about it at the end of the season and I may be interested in it again... but again it would need to be a trade and not a a free agent signing.  Would hate to lose him for a compo pick

[The_Captain]

How old is Sandi anyway? If GC wanna waste money on him let them go for it... I think he only has 1 decent year left in him anyway. So Dockers will get the best out of him anyway. Gc can just waste money on an expired ruckman...

The compensation would prob be a 1st round due to the contract size being talked about.

Definitely wouldn't be a 1st rounder - He's 32 and would probably only get a 1-2 year contract

Rumours of $1m (if true) will bump up the compensation.  The fact that Sandi is one of the highest paid at Freo will also bump up the compo.  Obviously age and length of contract will go against him

[Ziplock]

if it's like 1mil 1 year, I dunno it's 50/50 if it'll be first round or second.

[valkorum]

I would still prefer a trade over a free agent signing.  Stating the obvious aren't I :)
