1) 2018 draft finishedFair enough but in the same breath brisbane is brisbane and you have a history of success under the leigh matthew years that is only rivalled by hawthorn and geelong in the modern comp...that does count when you boil it back. Heritage counts.
There is a reason that sport struggles on the gold coast..why have basketball and rugby league failed there. Why does the AFL feel it can succeed where rugby in a rugby heartland has failed?. There are other factors at play that make the GC a unique situation.
As for gc needing talls..i did answer it in one post by saying why not take both king twins and lukosius if tgey have enough smaller players? Taking both king twins instead of rankine appears far smarter in helping to try and keep them on the coast than taking 1 and have him.watch his twin brother get to live at home in melbourne playing for his favorite team...surely. max king was discussed as a possible no 1 draft pick in this years draft crop before injury so he cartainly was no mug pick
2) you can't change the past
3) you don't know the future
4) you are not the recruiters
5) if you give odds 1: 100 dollar one or two of Lukosius ,Rankine and Ben king staying with GC after two years , I would put my 1 dollar in ( Soccer Leicester)
6) IMO GC players injuries history not in favour of taking Max king, Caldwell- Bennell , O Meara . Rankine,Lukosius , Ben king are all ready for pre season training.
