This doesn't fully even explain the differences in entry conditions, because you're missing a few players.
There was the belief that GC was the more desireable location, players who were willing to move to an expansion team would do so earlier ("first crack" existing AFL talent), and that the...
Interesting list of Players from both clubs.
Gold coast local zone signings was better than GWS local zone signings.
But when it came to the underage Signings, GWS 10 underage signings are way better than the Gold coast 10 underage signings.
Gold Coast had 9 picks in the 1st round and...

Excellent research, I’ve only ever bothered to look at it from the lens of first and second round picks when it comes to KPP so it’s great to have a view of them all.
I think this just reinforces my view that it’s not a lack of development per se but just piss poor list management. Something...

Defenders TrentMcKenzie and Kyle Marshall have both been ruled out of the rest of the season, with quad and shoulder injuries respectively. McKenzie sustained a...
RossFC have you seen any club article on who went in for post season surgery?
Five players whose season ended early;
Sam Powell-Pepper
Hugh Jackson
Jeremy Finlayson
Kyle Marshall
TrentMckenzie.
Apart from SPP and Mckenzie did the other 3 have operations that helped end their season early?

There's a guy who looked all the world to be a 250-game half-back with All-Australian potential, only to fizzle after his first few seasons.
What happened? Was it just injury?
Caleb Marchbank is only 27. A bit like TrentMcKenzie, when fit he’s a good footballer but routinely let down by his body. As a DFA he’d be cheap.
Leek Aleer is out of contract at the end of next season and should be a key target for us then.
More of a drafting issue than anything. If those players go on to better careers elsewhere then we can be concerned about development. Guys like Howard and Austin were never going to be great players.
We got a real steal in Logan Evans.
On the back of an incredible era of 2004-2011.
Win - loss ratio for this period would have been 70%+ and only one finals series missed (and that was 9th)
We were full of confidence to challenge again and again after a small dip.
Our drafting was what completely killed us, not the move to...
Luke wasn't a bad pick, he was a very good player surrounded by even better players. There is a little bit of luck and recruiting is a bit like alchemy but we kept Trout despite wasting some ridiculous amount of high picks. Getting a GOP rather than star is acceptable. Wasting picks is an...
