2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
Ok but let's compare Fyfe to Towey , both play the same position , one has vastly better stats than the other , Towey has done absolutely nothing in two years , one is a local kid who has put his body on the line for the club during the academy games yet gets burnt . I am a Gold coast resident...- Words: 130

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
No Heron and Dawson were Rookie B , Fyfe is a far better player than the two others, where is the motivation for gc academy players if they are going to shaft a talented kid who was never given a chance , it's disgusting- Words: 42

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
Why couldn't you put Fyfe and Nicholls back to Rookie B and then fill category A with some decent players. The Suns should register themselves as a charity given some of the players they have kept on. It hasn't worked for 10 years and they wonder why there season falls apart when they get...- Words: 64

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
No it's not the way footy should be , he is the 2nd best player if the 2020 group behind Davies , the Suns treat the Gold Coast academy players like crap cos they don't have the backstory. I have heard stories of local listed academy players being told when delisted who their replacement will be...- Words: 200

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
In any other club based on their performances over the past two.years McLennan, MacPherson, Towey, Conroy, Murtagh ,Rosa and Graham would all be delisted The rookie list if you look at the retirees this year is being used to accommodate players who were given one too many years on their...- Words: 59

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
The biggest problem is that the Suns don't have the correct performance bars ie Rosas has been very poor in the two years he has been here and has not been in the best physical condition at times yet gets a two years extension just cos Essendon expressed some interest. Geelong and Essendon just...- Words: 110

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
I would choose Bella , Ned Stevens or even Jack Johnston as rookie Bs in the hope that one comes good as a key position, similar to us with Payne and GWS with Sproule it's a much smarter option than the two international mascots U have in there atm- Words: 48

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
Like your analysis , only a couple of problems , no one is going to take MacPherson or McLennan , they should never have been given long term contracts, will hold on to Fiorini given late season form. Have heard through Qafl contacts Nicholls was given two years and Towey is expecting to come...- Words: 62

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
That would be interesting as the PR if he made his debut would be enormous and he was fast tracked over some probably more talented locals. Maybe it was Haines that was behind the emphasis on the project player. Going to watch the Qafl final on the weekend but it looks like no draft hopefuls...- Words: 58

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
Think the AFL has to come out and say exactly how many list spots the Suns will have next year, given that they are gradually reducing the consessions it may not be 49, this means guys like Day and Townsend may be out the door. If I was an academy player I wouldn't be holding my breath ,think...- Words: 79

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
That also by my account would mean 48 on your list with Chol and 42 with a contract , as I can only see Brodie leaving and A Smith coming you would need to delist 5 just to get 3 main draft and 3 rookies. They probably need to delist a few soon just to give those guys some time to line up good...- Words: 69

List Mgmt. OOC 2021, who is playing for their careers 2021 edition?
Reckon he has got an offer from Gold Coast , they are light on ruck options, you wouldn't just throw away your list spot and given what his family has been through he probably would like to stay close to home- Words: 40

2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods
Everyone knows on a footy point of view the three straight forward delistings should be Conroy, Murtagh and Towey they have two years on the list and haven't even been an emergency. However their exotic backgrounds is saving them at the moment and it would show that they probably shouldn't have...- Words: 62

Totally agree , believe at least Nicholls is contracted and sure Towey seems confident of coming back.so that muddy the waters further , they have to raise the performance recontract bar- Words: 30
