Traded Chris Burgess [Traded with #14 to Adelaide for #23 and #26]

[CrazyJoeFevola]

I love big Levi. But if a bloke is sitting behind Levi and Chol for 2 straight years you aren’t getting anything for him regardless of how many suitors he has. He’ll go to wherever he pleases for a token pick.

has about as much chance of fetching a pick in the 20's at the trade table as I do.

28 year old who has never looked remotely like a high quality AFL footballer. Will be traded for a future fourth rounder if he finds a home at all.

If punting on goal scorers teaches you anything.... vfl form is to be ignored. They are playing vfl for a reason

 

[kreglze]

If we got a mid to late 3rd round pick for him, that would be very good business.

 

[ArdentEagle]

I would have thought a 3rd rounder at most personally.

Yep. Great VFL player, but missing too many traits to be a regular senior player. Too short for key position, and not fast/agile enough to be 3rd tall. Really is short-term injury cover only.

Rumors are strong that Chris Burgess is shopping himself around for more AFL opportunties

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/Brodie Grundy 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

Lol, no chance of a 2nd rounder for player who can't make Suns side, which doesn't exactly have the best forward line.

He should look for a new home but it will be for a later pick.

Why the * would we want him?

fully agree it's like how clubs would never trade 2 picks up the order in the draft, burning a 2nd round pick to get a player??

 

[adammania9]

Corbett went for a future fourth and had better form at the top level. Burgess will likely go for the same.

Gold Coast tall asks for trade, set to return home

After winning back-to-back VFL goalkicking awards, Chris Burgess has requested a trade

We're chasing that SANFL flag by the looks of it.

Adelaide making out like bandits.

Just when you thought GC had learnt from their mistakes they pull this s**t out.

Bit dramatic. It's 383 points more for academy bids.

And hopefully no bids from the Crows.

Burgess is of no value.

Yeah but you would have got better offers for 14 than that i think its a poor deal.

Maybe, but the Suns seem keen to get these deals done early.

Probably suited Adelaide and Melbourne to get it done, and the Suns will be looking to build some goodwill this trade period. Fingers crossed it results in a few teams deciding not to bid on Read and Rogers.

How many open list spots does GCS have?

 

[Footy Smarts]

Was Burgess on a heavily back ended contract? GC could've got more than 23 + 26 for 14 alone. This only makes sense if GC want to get his salary off the books.
