I'm sure a few clubs have enquired about him.

I'm also sure we might not be quite at the top of Gee Whizzes trading list after the GF massacre :))

All that aside, he'd look good in a Tigers guersney

Contracted for two more years as they gave him an extension straight after he was drafted, but is apparently gettable. Has only played six games so far, but I’d certainly take him for one of our picks around 40. Will probably end up at Carlton though...

Right now the RFC is in the enviable position of being able to attract quality juniors for unders.

We have the magic sales pitch of .."Come to the RFC and play at a power club at the G with 100K members screaming "For You" and train and learn from Cotchin, Dusty, Rancey, Jack Riewoldt, Tommy Lynch, Grimes, Vlastuin, Houli, Prestia, Caddy Danny Rioli,and Edwards.

Be coached by Dimma, and be looked after by Balmey.

Learn DIY home renovation tips from Grover even if they are unorthodox.

Then if all that's still not enough the ace up the sleeve which is that they can go and hang out with Broady when hes on the tear and learn other skills.

I mean it sells itself dont it?

Looks like I’m hearing the , guess who else Hawks & Essendon.

GWS apparently will play hardball with General Paton as GWS gave them Scully for minimum chips. If Bonar is keen on the Hawks, contracted they may have to package a good deal for them to get them both.

Like him but doubt we can get him even with the sale pitch above from Craigo!

Bit of a worry here IMO given the very large injury toll GWS had thru the year could not get a regular gig. If they are seeking to off load would raise some query to me they usually unload players they don't wish to keep

They also get the use of Dusty's car during the post-season break.

GWS don’t have a good rep for injury recover.
Where we do. If anyone can get him right it’s us.

Season 2018 when tigers played suns at Metricon, we were going to a richmond open training. I was in my richmond gear.We got there early to go to the merch shop and the GWS Neafl team were filing through the gate as we got there. I held the gate open as they came through.
i said Go Giants! (You know, to be nice),
The last GWS player through the gate whispered at me as he passed ‘Go the mighty tigers!’

I thought, that was cute, he’s still a fan and I hope he gets to us at some stage.

Posted this elsewhere not realizing there's a dedicated thread, so......

Was listening to Mitch Cleary, who I sort of rate amongst the so called journos out there..... reckons Bonar is on 400k ish @ gws...... I like his upside but that's some serious coin for a bloke who's got 6 games under his belt. Something NQR there!

I think he more meant given how many injuries they had during the year he still rarely broke into the team & only managed a few games.
