Lynch leaves GC and GC finish last will mean we miss out on both Rankine and Lukosius....let that sink in for a tick.

Not when they fold, and tassie gets a team like it ****ing should have in the first place. The AFL, what a bunch of useless pricks

I guess we’ll take Walsh then. Or King.

This, or Ian Hill.

All going to be good picks we just need a top 5 pick

There should be a ******* riot if that eventuates.

Lynch will stay. The AFL won’t let this one happen.
I think GC will surprise a few this year, including us in round 1....

 

[Event Horizon]

I have a feeling there is something about Dew, he’ll be a good coach. They won’t finish last and could well surprise a few.

Not that we’d trade him but Brown would easily net us a top 5 pick + a future first.

You reckon?..
If that's the case it would be waaaay too tempting to look at pushing the button in the superdraft especially if T. Lynch ditched the Gold Coast.
BBB to GC for this years Pick 3-5 and 2019 1st rounder.

2018
Our Pick 1 - Lukosius
GC Pick 3-5 - Walsh
AC - TT
FS - Scott
FA - Gaff

JZ to permanent Full Forward

2019
GC future 1st and our 1st for J.Kelly.

BANG! rebuild complete!

Jelly, Walsh, Cunners, LDU, Gaff, TT, Ahern, Jy the motorbike guy all feeding King JZ and Prince Lukosius on a platter for the next 6-8 years.. woweeee strap yourselves in!!

PS: BBB will be a roo-4-life and rightly so

 

[hilly]

Suns should win 7-8 games and have us covered. Reckon Dew will go alright.

7 or 8 games would be bottom 3-5 this year with the comp being so even now.

 

[Page8383]

Gee if we can retain our top pick, get Thomas and snag Lynch or Gaff in the trade period they are excellent KPIs to be hitting.

Wish we’d gone harder for a few 2018 2nd and 3rd rounders for the academy points. That extra 3rd rounder might not be enough if TT lights it up

Lynch will get $1.5 mil from GC and another $1 mil in an AFL ambassadorial role.

$2.5 mil to stay, he ain’t leaving GC.

Slightly more off topic, but I just realised today that Ben Brown is the same age as Lynch.

For all the love Lynch gets our boy goes ok

To be fair to Lynch though, he hasn't had any help up there. Boner Brown's a star but he's had Drew to guide him and then Waite's been there to also help set him up. Lynch is like a kid whose dad's in prison and he's had to teach himself how to be a man.

Conversely Brown didn't have one of the greatest players in history along with a raft of 1st round mids delivering it to him for the 1st half of his career.

They were 1st round mids but they certainly werent 1st class players (yet - or even still). Brown came into a top 8 team with Dal Santo, Wells and Harvey kicking it to him. I'd want the latter.

Ben Brown didn't have Ablett but he had Boomer. Arguably the best inside 50 kick in history.

Yeh but.... Brown was 2nd or 3rd fiddle when that group was around.

By the time he came the main man he had the fine selection of a Ziebell random bomb or a Cunnington kick-smother-gather-blindkick to choose from.

He'd have kicked a ton if he had NDS, Wells and Boomer feeding him.

No doubt Lynch is a star. It’s just sometimes we take our own for granted.

Interesting enology though. Not sure I agree with it but it’s cleaver enough

TAC Cup: Oakleigh Chargers name seven possible father-son selections on their 2018 list
Toby Prime, Monash Leader
March 14, 2018 10:00am

NOT one, not two but seven possible father-son selections have been included on Oakleigh Chargers’ list for 2018.

As many as five father-sons could roll off Oakleigh’s production line this year, including Ben Silvagni (Carlton), Kyle Dunkley (Sydney), Kye Barlow (Hawthorn), Will Kelly (Collingwood) and Zac Hart (Adelaide).

Tom Collins, son of three-time premiership Hawk Andrew, and Daniel Romero, son of Western Bulldogs 100-gamer Jose, are eligible for the 2019 draft.

Noah Anderson, who shapes as a top-five pick next year, is also the son of two-time premiership Hawk and former Saint, Dean, but is not eligible as a father-son pick as his dad failed to reach 100 games at both clubs.


Tall forward Silvagni could be the second sibling in his family to line up at Carlton — where his father Stephen is a club great — after brother Jack was selected in the 2015 draft.

“He’s played school footy at Xavier (College) up to this point in time and he’s also played a lot of basketball so he’s raw in terms of his exposure to TAC Cup footy,” Oakleigh Chargers talent manager Craig Notman said.

“We haven’t seen too much of him but looking for him to continue to grow into the environment.”

Kelly’s older brother Jake slipped to Adelaide as a rookie in 2013 after being overlooked as a father-son selection by Collingwood, where their father Craig was a member of the 1990 premiership team.


“He’d be close enough to 6’5, really elite runner for a kid of his size, he’s got some really neat skills, particularly by foot,” Notman said.

“We’ve got some pretty high hopes for Will this year — I think he showed some really good signs at school footy in the latter half of the year.”

Dunkley could find his way to Sydney, where his father Andrew played 217 games.

Notman said Dunkley shared similar traits to his brother Josh, who played in the Western Bulldogs’ 2016 premiership after Sydney chose not to match the bid in the 2015 draft.

“A strong inside midfielder who has got a real willingness to compete,” he said.

“Very, very similar (to Josh), he’s probably just a touch smaller than Josh but share very similar traits.”

Hart could be the third father-son selected by Adelaide in as many years after Ben Jarman and Jackson Edwards were selected by the Crows in the past two drafts.

Hart’s father Ben is an Adelaide great, inducted into the AFL Hall of Fame in 2016.

“The way I would describe Zac is as a hard and tough competitor — plays predominantly down back,” Notman said.

“He competes as well as anyone on our list, has shown he has got a bit of flexibility within his game.”

Barlow could also continue his family’s legacy at Hawthorn, where his father Kris played 102 games in a late-blooming career.

“He’s been a late developer, first year into our program, he played some really good footy at Vermont in the under-19s last year,” Notman said.

“He’s a kid that’s grown and come on a little bit in the last little while.”

Oakleigh will open its season against Eastern Ranges on March 24 at Frankston Park.

 

[King Corey]

I think it's a good move that the AFL may potentially introduce live trading, lifetime free agency, mid-season drafting and restrictions on runners all at once.

If there's one thing I know it's that you want to introduce as many seemingly unrelated changes at once to a system.

 

[MaddAdam]

Kris Barlow ended up playing 102 games for Hawthorn. Jeez, they really were s**t in that period between dynasties weren't they.

If there was ever a player that Cam Joyce will fall over himself to bid for..

Watch Jose Romero's kid become an absolute jet.
