Would love that but I think that’s slightly undervaluing Rankine - hence why I think 5 for Rankine and 25 is a fair suggestion as I think it values him around the 7/8 mark

that's scaryPick 10 is undervaluing him?

They guy in 4 seasons has made the top 10 in his B&F once...you know who else has done that?
McHenry.
I'm not saying Rankine is worth a 3rd round pick or something stupid but his value, on evidence so far is not super strong
that's scary
Pick 15-20 is more than fair.Pick 10 is undervaluing him?

No it’s not. It’s irrelevant.
We aren’t considering his first two injury interrupted years when looking to trade for him. We are looking at what we projected him to be in his draft and what we saw on the field a number of times this year
Look at Rozee - start of this year people on this forum we’re starting to call him a “bust” for where he was drafted at. Unquestionably one of the exciting players in the comp going into next year.
Rankine a step behind Rozee at the moment but every expectation a full pre season and he is one of our very best players and a terrific pick up regardlesss of the price we pay

rozees first year was pretty goodAbsolutely spot on.
Its an interesting comparison between him and Rozee.
Rozee - Pick 5 2018. 59 games in first 3 seasons with a breakout year in his fourth year.
Rankine - Pick 3 2018. Have to completely disregard 2019 as he was injured all year. 48 games in his first 3 seasons able to play AFL footy.
Rankine will have been in the AFL system for 5 preseasons and will hit the magical 50 game mark in round 2 of 2023. Fingers crossed he has a similar breakout to Rozee for us in 2023.
While your statement is technically correct, it's a bit misleading. Dawson made the top 10 in 2019, followed by top 3 finishes in 2020 and 2021.Ya know who else made the top 10 in his clubs B&F once in 4 seasons before we traded for him?
Jordan Dawson - and that worked out pretty well for us.
if they are offering pick 7 and bowes too anyone for whatever he is clearly cooked or his salary is 1m next year or somethingSun's apparently willing to give pick 7 to anyone taking on Bowes' contract.
Pick 5 for 7, Rankine and Bowes anyone?

That makes absolutely no senseSun's apparently willing to give pick 7 to anyone taking on Bowes' contract.
Pick 5 for 7, Rankine and Bowes anyone?
It's that time of the year .....pre-draft fantasyThat makes absolutely no sense
you would need to add next years first going outSun's apparently willing to give pick 7 to anyone taking on Bowes' contract.

I read that article. It was bizarre.It's that time of the year .....pre-draft fantasy
This might be getting their fans used to the idea that there is value in offloading expensive players (eg RankineI read that article. It was bizarre.
Suns willing to give pick 7 to someone to take Bowes off their hands. No talk of what that club would have to give up.
Oh and yeah they’re going to take a hardline stance and get pick 5 from us.
Even if we don’t get Bowes I expect we’ll be part of the Bowes deal if there’s even a shred of truth to this, and benefit from the Suns salary cap shed as well.
).Yes the use of pick #7 makes no sense whatsoever as a salary dump ......makes more sense to use 1 or 2 of their 2nd round picksI read that article. It was bizarre.

If Gold Coast are salary dumping ......it further push's the negotiations on Rankine, in favor of the buyer (us)This might be getting their fans used to the idea that there is value in offloading expensive players (eg Rankine).
"We did the trade with Adelaide even though we didn't get pick 5 because it allowed us to reset our salary cap position, worth pick 7 in itself"
of all their high paid young players why are they so keen to ship of bowesI’ve cracked it
We do the Bowes and pick 7 deal
We then trade pick 7 for Rankine
Who loses?
We don't have to play him, we just have to pay him. He doesn't even need to come to training to earn his keep.of all their high paid young players why are they so keen to ship of bowes
you have to wonder
Sydney are stacked with quality players and that's why they are playing in the grand final. Gold coast are stacked with high end draft picks and not high end players. Rankine hasn't shown anything near what Dawson showed for at least 2-3 years with the swans. Dawson was a guaranteed star. While we hope Rankine will be a star we are buying on potential. GC are under salary cap constraints as well and need to pay a price for that.Ya know who else made the top 10 in his clubs B&F once in 4 seasons before we traded for him?
Jordan Dawson - and that worked out pretty well for us.
So you are saying that this years premiers future 1st is about right for Rankine?Ya know who else made the top 10 in his clubs B&F once in 4 seasons before we traded for him?
