2020 Draft and Trades Thread

Yeah, I reckon a waste of a list spot, should be aiming higher. He is very much a (sorry to use an old phrase) cream type of player as opposed to the cake. Good in a good team, but when a team is struggling his output dips. I don't think our list is that level yet where we can afford Atkins type players.

SUNS APPEAL
Gold Coast has had players approaching it about moving to the club after loving their time in the Queensland hubs.

Now after the sand-and-sun seduction, Gold Coast has to work out if the players are fair dinkum or not.

Gold Coast is a spectacular position to shore up its list with Northern Territory half-back Joel Jeffrey a player they can list without using a pick given they have been given that zone.

One AFL recruiter called it a “gift” to the Gold Coast, with the son of former St Kilda and Brisbane player Russell Jeffrey having spent time with the club again last week.

Cairns-based 191cm midfielder Alex Davies is another first-round pick they will secure for free given their zone allowances.

They also have their first-round pick, having traded this year’s mid first-rounder (pick 11) to the Cats for Jeremy Sharp, who has made his debut.

 
I love a cryptic first post
Sorry

Sorry should have introduced myself better. Been a suns fan from the beginning and have been reading this forum for a while now. I love the passion from the suns fans on here and hope I can contribute in some way. As far as atkins goes I believe we are a shot. Not sure if I'm happy about it myself but just hope it would be for minimum chips. As for daniher I'm just joining the dots and hoping because he would be a huge upgrade on sam day.

I was only joking. It's great to have new members on board. Don't be afraid to share your views.

I can see this being true, great weather and freedom to move around the streets without getting hassled by AFL fanbois

Also I don’t think we need another high draft pick as it leads to another year of excuses of us being too young
 
Atkins - Anyone remember Aaron Hall? Think less talented but similar commitment to 2 way running
 
Just announced on Fox that Anderson has signed a 2 yr extension to his contract. And on our website

Plus with the hubs they get to bring the WAGS up to enjoy all of it together.

Although some WAGS will be horrified to be married to an AFL star and not get the notoriety of being a glorified accessory, other more low profile stars would enjoy the change of scenery.

While we would prefer a quality senior player at this stage, we need to entice someone worthy of the pick - a Neale, May, Shiel, Treloar, Tim Kelly, Joe Daniher type player
 
Atkins who only runs forward, average <0.5 goals a game.
Average <2 tackles / game.
Cant believe the guy polled 10 Brownlow votes in their grand final year.


Would rather him on our list than GHS, Shoenfeld, Heron, Dawson, Conroy, Corey Ellis, Sam Fletcher, Murdoch, Towey, Murtagh, Farrar.. that probably about it.

That’s probably our candidates for delisting there so seems fair

Channel 7 reporting that he will be signing a 3 yr deal with a Melbourne club, so looks like we dodged a bullet.
