Media act like they follow everything that happens at gold coast but probably get their info out of a cornflakes packet and only know witts and swallow

Melbourne media puff piece no doubt encouraged by Carlton sources
"It's okay to let it happen - but hey we're sure it's the last time.Just this one last time for Carlton and old time's sake"
Very little planning stuff escapes Metricon these days and certainly not to that guy
I'm even more in the retain camp after that media exercise in excrement calligraphy
Agree. Condescending tone to it.
The only thing interstate clubs will see if/when Martin walks to Carlton is a green light to keep poaching your blokes. End of story.
What's the point of growing a backbone to just have it snapped a month later?I tend to disagree with this sentiment. Suns grew backbone. This situation only presents badly on Jack Martin and the Carlton footy side

Besides Martin who else do you feel we have been hard done by?What's the point of an assistance package if other Clubs know they don't have to deal with us at trade time?
At the moment they're offering peanuts for our quality players saying take it or get nothing when they walk in the PSD or in turn making us pay overs for B graders that want to come here
We get good young players spend time and money turning them in to $600k 250 game players and they walk for free?
If you can explain how the assistance package stops this happening I'm on board.
Not reallyCarlton is just lucky they’re so far down the draft order they can pick Martin up - lesson is there for Richmond etc
O'MearaBesides Martin who else do you feel we have been hard done by?
How you worded it sounded like you were referring to this year. The history is the past I was meaning nowO'Meara
Saad
Matera
Martin
Lyons
How many do you want?

Wasn't last years AFL assistance package supposed to change things ? And all the packages prior to that ?
Why should the latest package work ?
Suns continue to underdevelop players for the pickings of the larger clubs.
The latest extended list puts an even greater number of young players into that system - further stretching development resources.
If the AFL were serious about Gold Coast being anything but a kindergarten club they would fork out the money to keep Martin (in this instance) ..and other senior players in the future.
Its not list numbers - its list quality - and sadly Gold Coast have little of , nor are likely to retain any of the latter.
Agree, the environment and conditions now can't be compared to the first 8 years s**t.There has been two assistance packages... hard to cane the afl for last years package just yet. 2021 will be the turning point as too whether the assistance packages have worked.
Yes history has repeated itself previously but the back office has been fixed. Dew has a great coaching staff to support him now and needs to have committed players. Martin doesn’t want to be here and whilst talented has hardly set the word on fire.
Blokes like Brodie, Bowes, Fiorini, Lukosius, King, McLennan are the future and will all be guns in 2021.
Come back in two years and I feel the whole Martin saga will be well behind us and the Suns will be pushing the 8
Re-drafting Martin is gaining some traction.
Do Gold Coast need to re-draft Jack Martin to send a message?
Martin is expected to join Carlton in the pre-season draft.www.sen.com.au
“I just think it’s a great stance by the Gold Coast Suns, I don’t even know if they have to re-draft him (Martin) to do that, if they did, where does that leave Martin?
I think we have different opinions on the meaning of traction...
“Do they (Gold Coast) need to re-draft Jack Martin to send a message to all players that are either on the list or coming to the Gold Coast Suns, both in this draft and the drafts in the future?” King told SEN Drive.
“That you’re just not going to walk out of the place, you’re not just going to get to the destination of your choice.”
Your bold comments don’t make you any smarter... these comments were preceding the one I published and don’t at any stage suggest the suns are redrafting Martin.
Well that's great news, do U have a source? But I don't see what one has to do with the other. I want to redraft Martin (dependent on contract details) whether Luko signs or not..Suns will announce Luko deal next week, once that's done we wont even be talking about Jack leaving.
I’m going to quote the late great Colonel Saunders who said I’m too drunk to taste this chicken. Since we are quoting nonsenseYou quoted. I quoted you back.
Questions a week out, putting my Suns hat on. Nephew in the academyI’m going to quote the late great Colonel Saunders who said I’m too drunk to taste this chicken. Since we are quoting nonsense
My responses are as follows:Questions a week out, putting my Suns hat on. Nephew in the academy
1) will we take 6 picks into the draft
2) if so will we pass on the last two
3) if we elevate Dawson or Holman do we still get six picks
4) if Gore (only one now that could I think) gets a bid from another team do we use one of the last picks to match
5) can we get a delisted free agent with one of the last two picks
6) will we combine 15 and 20 for something higher
7) will we enter the preseason draft to retake Martin
8) we should have three positions in rookie draft at least , who do we take
