[Supersuns]

Gee our midfield might actually win some battles next year

Tim Watson might be Skav 2.0. Even if it doesn't happen, it's exciting for the fans to dream!

on Hugh Greenwood: "He has met with Hawthorn, Brisbane and Gold Coast. The Suns think they are absolutely in the box seat to get him."

 

[Sun Stormer]

Have not seen anything its just my opinion on what the Gold Coast should be "DEMANDING" from the AFL not asking but demanding the assistance that will improve the club and make the club a genuine force like the GWS and not just a middle of the road team.

The AFL have created a club on the gold coast rather than promoting an existing club like southport so they need to now make sure it doesnt fail

I've said it before so not a new thought but Suns and Southport should merge, use the Sharks ground as home base, supporter club base and HQ and build on the membership numbers that are there. Suns don't lose anything while Sharks jump into big league.....but won't happen of course.

I really hope we are competitive next year. Good to see Gold Coast appear to be being aggressive behind the scenes. If we improve our list with some decent trades and draft some elite talent next year could be fun. Just need everyone to buy in and create there own destiny. Things can change quickly.

Thing with Crouch is, he's contracted. I'm wondering how the Suns are going to strike a deal with Adelaide for him without using Lukosius or picks 1 and 2. Maybe a similar deal to Carlton, swap of next year's firsts?

Depends what we get for Martin. Might go towards the potential deal.

What is B Crouch worth in your opinion?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Best result for Martin is a late first, I'm guessing it gets done for an early 2nd. Would still need at least a swap of next year's firsts to get the deal done. Adelaide might even press for next year's first outright.

Not sure if Lukosius will want to go to the Crows at the moment. They don,t even have a coach. I think he may want to wait a year before he decides.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Top 10 pick, roughly pick 7-8. But you have to also factor in that he's contracted, Adelaide are known for driving a hard bargain at the trade table and Crouch just topped their Brownlow tally. I can see them really digging their heels in for Lukosius. It's possible next year's first from Gold Coast is enough of a carrot, but who knows.

 

[Iva Bigun]

Yess!

If we are paying anything like that amount, it can get added to the long list of recruitment **** ups. I don’t mind the length of contract but surely we are not going to pay that, what would Luko and Bens managers be asking for if a bog average player can get $600k

Crows midfielder “very close” to accepting Suns offer

“The Crows are trying extremely hard to keep him."

Here’s the article.

 

[Jirik13]

I think no chance B Crouch will happen. My guess is his manager plays games, puts pressure on Crows. Pick 1 and 2 and Lukosius involved is a big no for me even if Lukosius would ask to go home (not indication at the moment). If Papley does not go to Carlton but instead decides to stay or go to North then Suns can ask Carton for pick 8 for Martin + pick 14 (Lions pick). Pick 8 then goes to Crows for B Crouch.

Suns could also package pick 14 and Martin/Ah Chee pick to get top ten pick.

Maybe there was more to his golf trip to the GC a few weeks ago than just a holiday...

Thought exactly the same thing. And Greenwood’s surf trip.

Where is Skav when you need him

I agree with this. Lukosius, Rowell and Anderson could be the nucleus of a premiership contender. You don't throw that away for an good but not great midfielder who provides a short-term boost. 2020 first has to be on the table though if there's any chance of getting it done.

I did not like his contest work against Lions but against Cats he was one of the best in the first half. He is best 22 for Tigers. If he plays like that for Suns I would be fine with his contract. This is the reality for Suns at the moment if you want players to join us. He does run both ways all day and has a great DE. Having AFL pay him 100K of his contract as ambassadorial payment would help.

I’d like it, but I don’t believe it.
I believe we are being used to drive the crows offer up.

My thoughts exactly. We are good for that these days

I'm also alright with this as well though since it means it could affect the amount they can pay Lukosius.

 

[Suns of Anarchy]

I’d get Crouch now if we can and front load it in 2020 with Ellis and Greenwood while Luko, Rankine, King, Rowell, Anderson (hopefully) are on base level minimum contracts next year. The decks were cleared with May, Hall, Lynch, Lyons, Martin, Ah Chee all on big dollars. If we can pull it off it’s smart and changes the whole dynamic of 2020 and King / Luko won’t be getting frost bite up forward

Crouch wants out AFL bubble cities and loves the GC lifestyle. He's keen. Ditto Greenwood.
SO I'M TOLD
