Tony Cochrane on Suns trade period

We got a couple of really exciting things coming our way

I bet that's Atkins and Markov

we're just in a very careful build now
we have been very strategic about who we bring in
trying to bring in the absolute right culture, we want the right people
club's buzzing, a lot of excitement, a lot of really great people

I am disappointed when I get treated disrespectfully by fellow board members.
I don’t speak disrespectfully to other Suns board members.
I’m not surprised though by who gave you a like or laugh then because all of them other than Jessbek are on my block list due to past trolling and rudeness.
So you will always get a response from them if you are rude to me if you want likes and laughs responses.
As always I just encourage people to act like they are in a pub or club talking especially with fellow Gold Coast-Tweed fans.

 

[Young_Guns]

Heard there could be up to 4 suns academy kids drafted given they have been given extra rookie spots for that purpose

Makes sense if we have the rookies spaces as it seems like quite a good group coming through.

On top of Davies, Fyfe and Pescud listed above, you’ve got Jack Johnston who is apparently getting a bit of interest as a CHB, as well as Colenso from Morningside and Josh Gore as overagers who deserve a shot somewhere. Plus the group from the NT to add to that.

Could be a gem or too in there.

Most likely. Maybe a Ling Jong type as well.

To be fair though, it’s hard not to be buzzing looking at our list. And that’s with the likes of Sharp, Flanders,Farrar, Davies and Jeffery still to show what they’ve got.

Just need to add one or two pieces to really unlock it all, which is the hardest part.

 

[Mini GF]

Is Markov and Atkins immediate “top 22” players?
Also if Adelaide get pick 2 and we slide down to 6 then are we any hope then of getting Will Phillips or is that dream over?

Markov left out of the Grand Final team.

Thank you for the awesome reply

Yes, the dream would be over as it is a very clear top 6 including JUH as an NGA pick.

Hollands
Ugle-Haggan
Macdonald
DGB
Thilthorpe
Phillips

Thanks for the reply and gee that’s a shame. I was super keen on Phillips.

Becomes a personal preference after that lot. Without much knowledge on the other players I would probably be a Tanner Bruhn man myself - skilled outside midfielder.

 

[Big Red Machine]

To whom it may panic - Trade week doesn't officially start until Monday, There are alot of moving parts.

Trust thy Coch, Love thy Coch.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Apparently Brodie lake played quite well in SA all stars game.
Kicked a few goals.

And it’s difficult to commit to additional trade targets until we know if we can offload Wright & Brodie’s $900k. Domino effect.

 

[Ben Drever]

could also really throw in Fiorini’s 400k too. Is a inside mid only.
Can’t play anywhere else on the ground.

Yes we need depth.

but I doubt Geelong-tigers- west coast have to many players on 300k + constantly playing seconds

 

[kreglze]

You assume the club thought Wright, Fiorini and Brodie would all be playing decent parts in the team this year.

I can see Fiorini being with us at least another year. Otherwise there would be a few teams that would look at him.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Reckon fiorini at Sydney would be all alright fit.
Good age, a bit of experience, his play style and their list makeup.
Fiorini for Aliir with a late future pick coming our way?

Corkie is on to it

Mustang bringing some plausible ideas out into the world.

If we (or another team) were to draft Jack Johnston then that would mean our academy has produced draftees who are sons of former AFL players for three consecutive years. 2018 Bailey Scott

(Craig Budarick - Sydney) and 2020 Jack Johnston (David Johnston - Essendon/Fitzroy). Clearly a lot of former VFL/AFL players end up moving to the Gold Coast after retirement and I feel this is something we should be taking advantage of more than we currently do.

Jack is a key defender and that is definitely a problem area for us right now and will be going forward as Rory enters his 30s in 2021. I think we should draft him if he's shown potential to make it at the AFL level.

He is good , think though we will stockpile as many as we can for the nab series, will probably pick up those that get (match) a bid and one of the overagers

It's ridiculous for trade period about to start and still no agreement on list sizes and salary cap. Get your act together AFLPA and AFL.
