According to the Herald-Sun, he's "on the hunt for a new home" because he "is unlikely to be offered a new contract". I think if you're GA Jr, you request a trade out but, if you're Brayden Sier, you hope like hell that somebody will offer you a lifeline.

Disagree. It was when he didn't have the footy in his hands that he wasn't damaging. Still hold out hope that he can offer something more consistently, whether at the Pies or elsewhere.
Matthew Ling 184cms and 80kg delisted by Sydney
Will cost nothing, is lightning-quick and an accurate kick.
Could be our running half back option if Noble is traded...
Firm in the belief that number 17 flag is only months away...

Not with ya.
Defensive and attacking running patterns as well as pressure acts without the ball are important but a a lot of players can get by being average at it if they have a “weapon”. His just were not hurting the opposition enough at AFL level often enough. When Macrae comes in with his elite vision and use by foot it really shows up players like Sier.

Semantics as to whether paid too much constitutes a ceiling or not. You're the only person I have ever seen claim that he's earning too much money because he's a Cat B rookie. Paint it any way you like, they were your words, that is just a crock of shit. I'll leave it there.
Stubborn is your middle name. I too think Cox earned too much category B aside

His "weapons" are his vision and use of footy by hand. Also a better than average kick. Just doesn't do enough when he hasn't got the footy, or get the footy enough.

Lazy footballer. Unless he wakes up to himself he’s going to have a very short football career. Hopefully at a new football club he’ll learn to motivate himself.

You had me at quick and accurate, smear some of the divine blood of Buckley on him and sign him up

Totally.
Clearance and tackling machine who created space for the other mids.
The last 12 games of 2018 gave us a glimpse of what he was capable of, and it had many drawing comparisons to Kennedy.
Unfortunately he turned out to be lazy, fat and dumb.

Yes that is what he should have as weapons and hurt factor. Other than use by foot. He’s not an elite kick.
That’s what he is good at when he is on. Its a strength. It’s just not often enough or damaging enough.
