Why Brad Crouch all the time - Matt Crouch IMHO has Greg Williams traits - had 45 possessions one game, including 33 handballs. Year younger too. FWIW - I’d do #2 for the pair of them.

Where do i sign?
No way Port do that. Already lose Polac & probably Wingard.
They would be gutted and in full blown rebuild phase which would be a complete flip on their top up to go for a premiership 12 months ago.
Not really - a well-built list will have excess young quality players who can't get a game. You want that, because it's how you improve the value of your draft selections and ensure you can constantly get access to high picks.
GWS are a victim of their location to a degree. It would definitely skew the numbers wanting out.
Yeh, I don't see how we can get from 1 down to 2 or 3 from GC. What we COULD do is selling 1 to Port or Adelaide for a top ~7 pick and other good stuff. But it's a lot easier for GC to make that sale than us, given they have a double-dip, and a lot more picks in play.
Adelaide seem pretty desperate push for 8 + 16 + 21 + next years 1st
Port list manager Jason Cripps "If Lukosius and Rankine end up going to Gold Coast, we're probably pretty happy to try to get them back in a few years' time," Cripps said.
"It's interesting, because then it just becomes a two-horse race between us and the Crows, as opposed to a Victorian kid that wants to come back home, who has potentially got 10 options. That's part of the discussion and strategy, but right at the minute, we're really comfortable with pick six."

Wow, that sounds just straight up hostile regardless of how truthful he thinks he's being.

This is really poor, hope the AFL knocks Kochie and others off their perch ...

Can I just ask why the Suns wold give us pick 2 for our 2019 first rounder plus Casboult when they could just trade direct with either Adelaide club and get multiple 2018 first round picks?

Because they don't have high picks next year?
Yeah I said we'd need to get a future second somehow most likely. AFL might allow it anyway.
I’d love him to go back to the Dees as a feel good story.
We have to get used to the fact that we will lose 2-3 of our players if we become as successful as anticipated... Cripps, Fisher, SPS (and maybe even Mitch) will be sought out hard by WA teams... then Geelong with their policy of trying to coax Geelong-area-country players back (recently Hendo, Danger, Rowan) will be targeting the likes of Dow, O'Brien, Walsh?, Charlie.
Being realistic, if we don't challenge for top 4 within 3 years our players won't stick around and will be easy to poach... especially you'd think by Bolt's 7th year he'd want to already have a final on his resume, else there'd be another coach and players might not care to go through that again. If we played finals this year I highly doubt it would be difficult to coax Byrne back... he'd rather go home and play in a decent side with his Irish club and get that winning feeling than travel away from home and get his butt whooped in every game he's ever played.
Good luck getting a Kelly like player next year with out a 1st round draft pick.
Yep this can be there way of returning the favour... taking Casboult for free.
They look like helping GWS out by taking Scully's contract for little risk outside of money.
They are a wonderful family club that makes me sick.....
If you're GC, you take both Lukosius and Rankine at pick #2 and #3. Retention issues are always going to be a thing with the interstate teams and the minute you back down, players are going to repeat this same type of behaviour once they see you're weak.
Think the AFL wouldn't be too happy with that comment... especially with GCS current predicament... they've got enough players wanting to jump ship and go home and to hear that other clubs list managers openly being frank about it wouldn't sit well with them. Even SOS made a joke about hoping a few of the Vic boys get traded interstate so he could have a crack at bringing them home in a few years time.
Sorry, but what a load of crap.
These players have a contract with the club. The club & player can choose to be traded or not.
Both parties have to agree.
Could you imagine having a contract with your employer and then have them trade you to the other side of the country, taking your kids out of school, your other half job interest irrelevant, your other interests totally irrelevant, all without you having a say>?

This is out and put draft tampering. Honestly, if we were involved in this, we'd be saying goodbye to pick1, knowing the AFL.
They need a grow a pair and do something about this.

Also, can we put a lid on the Crouch from Adelaide, Wines from Port etc...why even bother asking? Player has to want to come and neither side is wanting to unravel their existing list for unproved youngsters no matter how South Australian the kids in the draft are.
There's no way either will be involved...we're better off bending them over for picks

Don't wish for that just because the media has got up your nose... Beams, Sidebottom, DeGoey, Treloar, Pendlebury, Adams... would rather finish below the ladder than Brisbane than see the filth get number 16.
Interesting info tencentpiece - would be huge to get Pick 2 from the Suns - particularly if Levi could somehow add value in there (though would be sad to see Levi be punted... given his all to our club).
Well hasnt this been the same thing with GWS really.... GWS got all the top players when they joined the afl and all victorian clubs said let them go we will come in the future and get them back to Vvictoria. Some would say we are big colprates of that with the amount of ex gws players in our side
Port are only just doing what us victorian clubs have done till now
