what's sps' salary that's being dumped? he's uncontractedCap dumps happen every draft in plain sight.
If SPS goes to Eagles for pick 52 its exactly the same scenario.
So they give a young player away so they can move down the draft order?
I get why they did it but this is still a major loss anyway you slice it for GC
They overpaid for Brodie that was previous management though it is like what you guys did with Wingard and what we did with Sinclair
Why would they? You would at least wait till mid season to see how the Suns go before signing a new contract. Rankine and Lukosius would be targeted heavily by Adelaide who will have the picks to secure one of them and King will be weighing up on either staying or going home. Money only helps Gold Coast if they can have some success in the first half of the year. But Draft picks for next year indicates that possibly one of the three will leave (maybe even two) and they are building a war chest to use in case of emergency. As I stated in my original post.There is now money that can be offered to players they want keep for next year, signing them early. Rather than waiting for them to come out of contract and running the Gambit.
Would expect a few contract extensions to be sorted before the season gets underway
thats not a salary dump, thats what he's worth.Cap dumps happen every draft in plain sight.

We swapped our second round pick this year for freos next year. Where’s the nothing?Why would they? You would at least wait till mid season to see how the Suns go before signing a new contract.

It's smart of Gold Coast to get more picks next year but to give away pick 19 for essentially nothing isn't smart.
nah youre right. gc is a well run club and significantly downgrading draft picks while giving away playesr is a great moveI don’t understand how everyone here not getting the ins and out on this trade. It’s pretty straight forward.
Removing cap off our bottom line to help us retain players for next year.
I think you’ve got gc mixed up with Carlton matenah youre right. gc is a well run club and significantly downgrading draft picks while giving away playesr is a great move
the nothing is that freo's second round next year will at best be the same number pick, most likely 7-10 picks worse.We swapped our second round pick this year for freos next year. Where’s the nothing?
im sorry, did carlton just trade a player and 4 picks (2 of which are valuable) picks for just 2 worse picks?I think you’ve got gc mixed up with Carlton mate
You’re looking at the pick.the nothing is that freo's second round next year will at best be the same number pick, most likely 7-10 picks worse.
its like buying a lottery ticket where the number 1 prize is just the cost of the lottery ticket back.
Who is the 2 picks valuable to?im sorry, did carlton just trade a player and 4 picks (2 of which are valuable) picks for just 2 worse picks?
You didn't need to, Swapping a pick 19 for possibly a pick 28-30 in next years draft just so you can free up money that you could delist next year doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Plus you gave two 4th rounders to get a future 4th. If St Kilda did this trade, every other Big Footy fan would be on here smashes us pillar to post and I would be right beside them. Terrible trade.We swapped our second round pick this year for freos next year. Where’s the nothing?
oh so what youre saying is that gc:You’re looking at the pick.
I’m looking at getting rid of a reserves player not getting a game at 600k off our books
Why the hell was he on $600k! lol!You’re looking at the pick.

It’s well known we have to over pay players to stay.Why the hell was he on $600k! lol!
It’s good business for us.oh so what youre saying is that gc:
1 - paid a reserve player 600k a year
2 - traded away said player along with the best possible second round pick, for a worse second round pick, along with a handfull of other pick downgrades
and you think thats good business?
did the afl give you an exception to having to bring in 3 new players like every other club?It’s good business for us.
It’s better then having the player on our list and having the best second round draft pick we were going to use.
Probably use the other 2 picks to upgrade rookiesdid the afl give you an exception to having to bring in 3 new players like every other club?
He has improved his running.I’m in on giving this guy a chance. More so, because it seems we’re getting pick 19 and that unlocks everything.
I just cringe when a player has been in the system for 5 or so years and comments like ‘just needs to improve disposal and fitness’ are made. I’m sure he’s been made aware of his deficiencies. He’s getting $400k a year to work on them and hasn’t.
Will be interesting how it play out. I’m just seriously hoping Gold Coast have fallen way short of developing him.
Rankine was the one for me that I just thought would be the next big thing and he’s stalled quicker than Dogs did at the 17 minute mark of the 3rd term in GF.
To be considered fast for Fremantle you just need to not be injured.He has improved his running.
30 second on in the pre season time trial last year (shows where he was coming from)
be interesting to see how he goes on a big Optus oval.
got some traits. Gets his hands on the ball and strong can win possession but not a runner and don’t think he’s that creative with his hands or particularly good in traffic.
taken a few marks in the forward line but shown little to no capacity to play as a forward.
very surprising to hear the dockers say he is a tall mid that has speed - because I’ve never seen that.
potential to be a player, few had stamped his papers however.. never really had a true opportunity unfortunately.
