Does he get final say in who we draft or has that role been seperated from list manager? I’m unsure as to who does what with the restructure.

David King says Gold Coast need to find out whether Steven May is going to commit to the club or not.

Suns co-captain Tom Lynch is widely tipped to leave the struggling football club at the end of the season for a return back to Victoria — with Collingwood, Hawthorn and Richmond the leading contenders for the key forwards services.

However, there are suggestions that the Suns other co-captain Steven May could want to leave the club — and the dual premiership star says the club needs to sit down and have a conversation to find out where he is at.

“If Lynch decides to go, so be it. And then they go to Steven May and say what are you going to do,” King said on AFL 360.

“Do you want to leave or do you want to stay? Let’s not wait until next year when you can walk as a free agent. Let’s be mature enough to have this conversation and if he wants to go, then so be it.”

With the 2018 draft widely tipped to be the strongest in recent times, King suggests it’s time for the Suns to load up on draft picks while they can.

“I don’t think everything is broken at the Suns,” King said.

“At the moment they’ve got four picks in the top 30, now is the time to find where you’re at. See you later, because this club will be fine long term.

“All this talk of doom and gloom that they’re cast and they might as well shut their gates is complete nonsense. They’re not shutting the gates. They might end up with seven or eight picks in the top 30, this is the draft to get those seven or eight picks. They might end up with picks 3, 4, 8, 13, 16.”

King says that the Suns need to find out about May’s decision before the end of trade period, otherwise they may not get their return on the investment, when May becomes a free agent in 2019.

Tom Lynch appears likely to return to Victoria.
“This is the year to find out. Don’t find out about Steven May half way through next year, find out now,” King said.

“I think you’ve got to get the broader club right which they’re doing and as soon as that comes together it doesn’t matter what pick they walk in at.

“If they’re going to have them for three or four years and then walk out the door, you might as well give them a 100 picks, it’s not going to matter. You’ve got to get the club right, which I think they are. So I’m not as down on them as others.

Unreal read...im in agreement with this discussion about extending May’s contract now.
Last year was the Ablett show
This year the Lynch show
We can’t go another year of this with May
We need a year of just footy and stability
 
bit of talk going around tonight that Cyril Rioli might not be done with footy after all just the Hawks.

Let's hope Mark Evans gets on the phone to his old mate

Starting to think about what id like in the draft. We need to go hard at mids who are high accumulators, powerful or beast inside players with all of the above. High football IQ is a must. I'm not as high on Lukosius as others but I do rate him highly. I find it near impossible that Carlton pass on him anyway. They'll love the big name number one pick, SOS loves that shit he's a basic thinking recruiter.

I'm gonna make some preferences/predictions based off us finishing second last and getting a pick after our first for Lynch.

2 - Sam Walsh
3 - Bailey Smith
14 - Riley Collier-Dawkins
25 - Bailey Scott (GC Academy)
30 - Caleb Graham (GC Academy)

Just watched some more of Riley Collier-Dawkins and **** this is the kid out of all of them we need from the draft.

Huge inside mid, powerful, fast, skilful. Wins ground balls as good as anyone, holds his feet when tackled to get a clean bandpass and has super fast reaction time in congestion. Already 193cm and 88kg. I'd go as far as taking him at pick 3. He'll be spoken as a top 5 pick by year's end bookmark this post.

Reminds me of Clayton Oliver so much.

4 midfielders? Too many in my opinion and all will take time to develop. Besides Lyons, Miller, Swallow what will you do with Bowes, Brodie, Fiorini, Scheers, Ainsworth? Ballard and possible Scrimshaw will also end up there. I would go with 2 midfielders (Walsh, Scott), one small forward Rankine type and possibly one tall (Lukosius/King).

Perhaps yeah. I'd actually lean toward Bailey Smith over Sam Walsh if we were to pick up Rankine too. I'm not that keen on us trying our hand with King or Lukosius. Unless we have 3 top ten picks.

To be honest, I have not seen King to play but he looks very skinny - long term project possibly? Everybody raves about Lukosius's elite endurance and unbelievable kick accuracy/disposal besides his leading/marking. People mention Rankine a high risk to go home?
 
We need a couple of elite level players, whatever the position.

Plus several A graders.

And a few more B graders as well.

22 in a team, we can fit in whoever.

Plenty of blokes in the team who are not very good, or who are capable of playing multiple positions.

That's my big concern with Rankine but if we have 3 picks in the top 10 I'd just take the risk. He's going to be incredible.

Please draft player capable of playing multiple Role
https://coupler.foxsports.com.au/ap...f6533bfd98309738870?__twitter_impression=true

1. JACK LUKOSIUS
Clubs: Woodville-West Torrens/South Australia

Position: Key Forward

Size: 194cm, 85kg

Bio: The key forward is a ‘once in a generation’ prospect and is arguably the best player we’ve seen in the Under 18 system for a long time. Lukosius has the ability to play as a key defender, and even pushed up onto the wing at times in the Under 18 Championships. He is one of the best kicks in the draft pool and marks well overhead. You’d be a brave recruiting manager to overlook the South Australian with the first selection in November’s draft, with one club recruiter declaring the club with the No. 1 pick would be “crazy” to not pick him.

4. BAILEY SMITH

Clubs: Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Position: Midfield

Size: 185cm, 82kg

Bio: Started as a half back last year but has transitioned to a full-time midfielder in 2018. Smith can run all day and has the ability to outwork his opponents when games are on the line late in the last quarter. The Vic Metro MVP finds the ball in the contest and is a good ball user. He has the ability to push forward and hit the scoreboard, booting three goals for Vic Metro against Vic Country. He was one of Metro’s standouts in their loss to South Australia, where he had 22 disposals, seven clearances and six tackles. He looks ready to go and should see AFL action in 2019. Could be a smoky for the No. 1 pick.

5. BEN KING

Clubs: Sandringham Dragons/Vic Metro

Position: Key Defender/Key Forward

Size: 201cm, 85kg

Bio: The twin brother of Max King is also set to find a home inside the top 10 come draft night. Since his brother’s injury, Ben has been a mainstay down forward, booting goals for Vic Metro in the Under 18 Championships, finishing the carnival with a four goal haul against South Australia. King has booted over 30 goals in just over a handful of games for Haileybury College in the APS school football competition. Like his brother, King is athletic and keeps his feet in the contest, marking well overhead and works hard at ground level.

6. IZAK RANKINE

Clubs: West Adelaide/South Australia

Position: Forward/Midfield

Size: 180cm, 76kg

Bio: Exciting with a capital E. Rankine is capable of eye-catching displays and there aren’t too many games where Rankine doesn’t produce a highlight. He’s a player that you would pay money to go watch and it’d be a surprise to see him not win the mark or goal of the year during his AFL career. His first quarter against Vic Metro in the final round of the Under 18 Championships was simply stunning, booting three goals — including one out of mid-air. Rankine has SANFL League football experience, where he has shown his class and smarts around goal.

12. CURTIS TAYLOR

Clubs: Calder Cannons/Vic Metro

Position: Half forward/Midfielder

Size: 186cm, 79kg

Bio: Taylor is similar in nature to Cameron Rayner that he has the ability to play up forward and clunk contested marks against his opposite number. Taylor has shown he can hit the scoreboard and is a comfortable player inside 50, but he can push through the midfield and has shown at TAC Cup level he can impact a game in the middle of the ground. Taylor is a nice long kick and doesn’t need to have a lot of disposals to hurt the opposition.

13. CONNOR ROZEE

Clubs: North Adelaide/South Australia

Position: Midfielder/Forward

Size: 185cm, 71kg

Bio: The North Adelaide midfielder would’ve been disappointed with his Under 18 Championships, producing a down effort on what would’ve been expected from the half forward/midfielder. However, he showed enough of his key traits to suggest he is still well and truly worth a first-round selection. Rozee saved his best to last, with 18 disposals, four clearances and a goal in SAs win over Vic Metro. He’s a good ball user and can hit the scoreboard when he plays across half forward. Rozee looks most damaging when he is around the ball and he possesses good footy smarts.

17. XAVIER DUURSMA

Clubs: Gippsland Power/Vic Country

Position: Half Back/Midfield

Size: 185cm, 71kg

Bio: The Gippsland Power prospect has overcome early injuries at the start of the year and has put together a strong carnival in the midfield and across half back for Vic Country. His match on the big stage in the big Victorian clash at the MCG saw Duursma standout as one of Country’s best players with 19 disposals, seven inside 50s and five clearances. He is a strong mark overhead and reads the play well across half back.

14. NED MCHENRY

Clubs: Geelong Falcons/Vic Country

Position: Midfielder/Forward

Size: 178cm, 71kg

Bio: McHenry is an exciting small midfielder/forward who cracks in hard in the contest and is willing to tackle hard to win the ball back. Not only is Ned a good football player, but he potentially is the ‘Jack Higgins’ of the 2018 pool — with the Geelong Falcons player being a star media performer in his own right, hosting his own ‘Ned’s Falcons Files’ TV show on the Falcons’ Facebook page. If an AFL career doesn’t word out for Ned, a media career beckons
