Pick 5 that can only be traded to another team during trade week so we can get a 25-28 year old. If we dont get anyone we forfeit pick 5 and it converts to pick 10

What a surprise since Carlton lost their first round pick to crows typical blue bagel so transperant

We didn’t get one last year and won’t this year.Brisbane lions recieved a Priority pick that they eventually used to secure Charlie Cameron who is their leading Goalkicker this year.
Gold Coast need help.
We have been worse than the Suns for over 2 years now on a Win/Loss record alone and have not been given one so why should they?
2017 Suns 6 wins / Carlton 6 wins.
2018 Suns 4 wins / Carlton 2 wins.
2019 Currently Suns 3 wins / Carlton 3 wins.
No harm in asking but if we don't get one surely the Suns wont.
Need multiple, but also need to go after a strong leader as Brisbane did with Hodge.We need a mature body
Yep we do. Maybe we will get roughhead to come up and play fwd for a year (and take the better defender) allowing our young blokes some time to get stronger and experiencedNeed multiple, but also need to go after a strong leader as Brisbane did with Hodge.

100% this. Leppitsch has been great as a coaching assistant at Richmond but he was way out of his depth as Lions head coach as some of his public comments were embarrassing, displaying a constantly demoralised 'woe is us' mindset publicly. If you think your club is a basketcase, then you'll play like one too. Impressive how quickly they've turned it around under Fagan.whilst they continue to portray themselves as a basketcase that can't get out of their rut they'll continue the churn of young blokes coming in and leaving, without being able to recruit
The lions did the same thing for years until Fagan came in and changed all that, going cap in hand solves nothing
Even rugby league clubs eventually die on the Gold Coast and how the AFL thought this was a smart decision baffles me.
It is a holiday destination mostly for tourists and majority of the residents do not make up enough numbers needed to support any sort of local team. Give a team to Tassie they can call their own as they are way more passionate about AFL.
It has been a failed experiment and for the few thousand faithful that turn up and support their team it is a sad state of affairs but they will never have a true presence and the NRL experiments on the Gold Coast also reflect this.
What about re-branding GC?
The orange and yellow, the name 'suns' - it's just all very tacky and lame.
25 years later and you couldn’t imagine them being called anything else. And the freo fans love their club.
Why is it a failed experiment? crowds have been pretty solid considering the struggling team, memberships and ratings are good, they help the AFL expand into Queensland, so why on earth are they a failure? They won't struggle on field forever.
