2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods

[CommittedSuns]

You could be spot on Who will be moved from senior list?

Jez McLennan, Caleb Graham, Chris Burgess

Although I could see Nick Holman or Sam Day if any of the three don’t agree being the clubman they are.

 

[Jen2310]

First Draft night one pick, second night no picks and Rookie Draft we will likely recycle players regardless of who we pick we all have a good idea. I’m going to call our draft night now:

Pick 3 - Callaghan
Pre Selection - Uwland
Pre Selection - Stevens
Rookie A - Casboult
Rookie A - Pass (Leave 1 spot open)
Rookie B- Bella

We go into preseason with 38 listed players, 8 Cat A Rookies and 2 Cat B rookies. Total 48 players. Seems like our draft is premeditated

Didn't cameron mention only 2 academy players?

 

[CommittedSuns]

why 3?

We have 38 contracted main list players. Have to make 3 selections in this draft hence why we need to move 3 out

 

[CommittedSuns]

Didn't cameron mention only 2 academy players?

He did but that was before Towey was a confirmed delisting

 

[Jirik13]

Didn't cameron mention only 2 academy players?

Yeah, he talked about 2 academy kids but did not say 'only 2' if I remember correctly.

Jez McLennan, Caleb Graham, Chris Burgess

Although I could see Nick Holman or Sam Day if any of the three don’t agree being the clubman they are.

My choice is McLennan, Macpherson, Thompson.

 

[CommittedSuns]

My choice is McLennan, Macpherson, Thompson.

Thompson has two years to run on his contract and MacPherson aren’t they trying to smooth his contract out over 2 years? That’s why I reckon they would be safe

 

[KaySwizzle]

My choice is McLennan, Macpherson, Thompson.

Thompson definitely deserves a rookie spot after years on the sideline.

 

[Jen2310]

We have 38 contracted main list players. Have to make 3 selections in this draft hence why we need to move 3 out

Of course. For some reason, I wasn't factoring in the pre-list rookies into calculations with the list spots, since the list spots on the rookie list are vacant.

 

[Jirik13]

Thompson has two years to run on his contract and MacPherson aren’t they trying to smooth his contract out over 2 years? That’s why I reckon they would be safe

You could be correct that the club would ask players with one year left on their contract although rookies can have multiple years contracts.

If that's the case, McLennan, Graham and Corbett. I value Burgess as utility depth.

 

[CommittedSuns]

Thompson definitely deserves a rookie spot after years on the sideline.

Definitely deserves it however unsure Suns would do it whilst he has 2 years to run on his contract

Sheehan names his top three tall forward/ruck prospects in the 2021 draft

“I think there’s probably three top 20’s here.”

Callaghan will be pick 2. GWS or whoever they trade pick 2 with, will draft him. It may be GCS, However, a deal would need to be done.

 

[SandyToes]

Thompson definitely deserves a rookie spot after years on the sideline.

Why?

 

[Peter Wallis]

So, I assume you don't expect any of Rankine, Luko, King to be re-signing this off-season?

If Clarkson gets the job in 2023 I think they will all re-sign.

 

[CommittedSuns]

Callaghan will be pick 2. GWS or whoever they trade pick 2 with, will draft him. It may be GCS, However, a deal would need to be done.

You seem confident. But I wouldn’t expect GWS to trade down cause if they do and the Suns have pick 3 and if Callaghan is gone there goes there key position player. Suns will pick either Andrew or Gibcus.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Who said gibcus is a flight risk ? He’s already a journeyman … and a QLDer

Off the charts: The well-travelled draft prospect with a monster vertical leap

COVID-19 disruptions haven't stopped draft prospect Josh Gibcus from rocketing into top-five contention

[RowellAnderson12]

I’m honestly not too fussed who we get right now. I can see positives for all of Andrew, Callaghan, Gibcus, Hobbs & Ward.

Still a month away, I bet we’ll be linked with all of them anyways. Just gotta wait and see

"I don't mind where I go. I've travelled around a fair bit which I think has helped me and I can understand how moving works. I'll just take the opportunity as it comes and whoever picks me on draft night I'll go and give it everything I've got," he told AFL.com.au.

I'm sure these kids get media training to straight bat everything, but that's the sort of thing you want to hear.

Once one VFL person says it then the sheep start saying it in here too.

 

[Fat Pizza]

Once one VFL person says it then the sheep start saying it in here too.

I thought that comment was attributed to Craig Cameron. Maybe he was trying to put GWS off the scent. I’m not too fussed about who we draft this year. We need improvement next season & I doubt these draftees will play a key role in that. I like the look of Mac Andrew, but am happy to trust our list management team

[Sun Stormer]

Whose instigated all
Of the above?
The clubs review process or coaches wanted the change up/leave

Word is it was the dude who left (Dew's mate) that instigated it all - doesn't make sense re the Academy. Very strong last two years given Covid and consistent success against Brisbane. Torney very unlucky.

 

[Sun Stormer]

So, I assume you don't expect any of Rankine, Luko, King to be re-signing this off-season?

I don't. Be lucky if they sign by mid season if they do.

Interestingly, North just de-listed Polec and will pick him up in rookie draft. Polec still has 2 years to run on his contract.
