What we saw from Demons last night and surely Burgess is a 100% lock to the Demons, along with Chol as a replacement for the Ben Brown

duo who havnt been able to perform this year

What is his worth? With his better VFL form and better contract I think its 20-30 range. Given the Gold Coasts position a F1st rounder from Demons for both Chol/Burgess could be the deal done

 

[SSSSSS]

Pick in the 20s-30s for Burgess.
Future 1st for Chol/Burgess.

Is this bait?

SUN TO SEEK NEW HOME​

Gold Coast key forward Chris Burgess is expected to look for a new home during the off-season after winning back-to-back Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medals.​

​

The 27-year-old is contracted at the Suns in 2024, but it is understood the South Australian will explore a fresh start after being starved of opportunities across the past two seasons, managing only three AFL appearances despite dominant form in the reserves. ​

​

Two clubs have shown genuine interest in Burgess, with a couple of others keeping tabs on the West Adelaide product. ​

​

Adelaide has maintained an interest in Burgess since he joined Gold Coast along with Josh Corbett

as a pre-draft selection at the end of 2018, while St Kilda has also kept tabs at different times. Brisbane, Richmond, West Coast and Hawthorn are other clubs considering key forwards this off-season. ​

​

Gold Coast is believed to be open to keeping Burgess, but the Suns are stacked with key forward depth and likely to offload some players to help acquire the draft points required to secure the four academy products they want to select in November, including underage star Jed Walter who is expected to play plenty of senior football under Damien Hardwick next year.​

Pick in the 20s-30s for Burgess.
Future 1st for Chol/Burgess.

Is this bait?

Mid to late 30s given his age and not being best 22 at GC.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Pick in the 20s-30s for Burgess.
Future 1st for Chol/Burgess.

Is this bait?

Best forward in the market. He will have a fair bit of interest

Richmond, Demons, Hawks, Saints will all have interest and be bidding

 

[Iva Bigun]

Agree, and as he is contracted should get something mid to late 2nd round 28-36

 

[madjoe]

hawks pick 29 would get it done, i rate him over chol.

burgess, 2023 round 3 pick for 29

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

I think Demons for sure and with Demons extreme desperation for forward help it creates a 28-36 to instead be that 20-28 situation. Given both are contracted I think Gold Coast just hold steady and only take a higher end deal

 

[Drunkcat]

Pick 60+ for a VFL footbller, pick 28-36 very funny

 

[Iva Bigun]

Pick 60+ for a VFL footbller, pick 28-36 very funny

Team grabbing him don’t intend to use hm as a VFL footballer, so 28-36 is about right in a sellers market

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Pick 60+ for a VFL footbller, pick 28-36 very funny

So Geelong would trade Parfitt for pick 60 odd?

. Similar goal kicking output at VFL level in 2022. Both undersized as a KPP and probably more suited as a 3rd tall. Both probably not AFL standard level footballers.

Talks of a pick in the 20-30 range is ridiculous.

 

[madjoe]

Pick 60+ for a VFL footbller, pick 28-36 very funny

huh? weideman trade? its not just pick 29 hawks get a slight down grade for a best 22 player,

 

[SSSSSS]

huh? weideman trade? its not just pick 29 hawks get a slight down grade for a best 22 player,

In what world is a bloke who didn't fire a shot against one of the worst sides in AFL history a best 22 player.

I like Burgess but he's a VFL player and there's nothing wrong with that. He is not best 22 for the Hawks.

He'd be a handy depth option but no one is shopping around a pick in the 20s for depth.

 

[Bianconeri]

So Geelong would trade Parfitt for pick 60 odd?

Parfit has proven AFL form behind him, Burgess doesn’t.

 

[GoEaglesGoSGIO]

Parfit has proven AFL form behind him, Burgess doesn’t.

Thats the concerning part

Parfitt has proven he isnt up to AFL level. Burgess just hasnt had the opportunity to show it one way or the other.

In saying that Parfitts value is still 35-50 this season and then Burgess is more because he is a tall forward who are drastically short in supply this off-season

 

[Jeremias]

Top 30 pick for a 28 year old key forward who has played 30 odd games in 5 seasons and averages less than half a goal per game, is surely a piss take?

Suns will receive a token late pick because he's contracted. They can't possibly realistically expect anything more than that.

Parfitt’s a premiership player that’s played many games for side the consistently played finals.

Burgess is an undersized VFL key forward that can’t crack a team that’s never made the finals.

weideman went for pick 37 with a swap of picks. henry wasn't best 22, it's really about demand,

 

[Bianconeri]

Yeah I doubt the demand for an 28 year old undersized VFL key forward is going to be too high

 

[Iva Bigun]

More than happy to keep him, he’s looking for senior opportunities so it would be a club where he is best 22. If no one offers that then I guess he’ll stay

?? And I'm not joking either?

 

[Supersuns]

Worth nothing, not sure what people are on about.
Great state league footballer, nowhere near it in the AFL.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Mid to late 30s given his age and not being best 22 at GC.

Not worth that. Token late pick as corbett was.
Vfl player.
