lol GC with 10 picks, what a mockery of the system that is.

Not really, they have been very creative and smart to get there ...

THE AFL has abolished a draft loophole that allowed clubs to gain an advantage by stockpiling back-end picks.​

​

The league on Monday night ruled that clubs could enter this year’s draft only with the number of selections that matched the number of open spots on their list.​

Didn't last long...

Uhm?? You do realize that we havent entered this year's draft yet!!

Gotta be kissed on the dick like GC are. An array of top quality academy picks + a top 4 pick. I mean it's an absolute shit tonne of draft currency.

Gold Coast currently have 37 players on their senior list, which means they have 1-3 open spots on their list.

The reason I say 1-3 is because they have 7 category A rookies (other clubs 4-6) due to the concessions they got a few years back, which included Noah Anderson and allowed up to 10 rookies. You would imagine they no longer have those concessions in 2024 but I’m not sure there was ever an end date. Absent that, they would only have 1 open list spot.

I will defend the Suns' situation ... they have become the recruiting field for the Vic & SA clubs. They need the Academy for them to source players that are happy to remain in QLD, and eliminate the go-home factor.

At some point it will even out, and the AFL will need to limit their sole access to the players in the Academy. But at the moment, they need the leg-up if they are to survive.

Source players like Jack Bowes?

Shock! ... Horror! Player not getting selected seeks better opportunity.

Who'd have thunk it?

I’m with you on the academies for northern states but the Bowes trade was diabolical.

Local kid, trained in the academy. Why did the Suns need to over pay him in the first place? Wouldn’t he want to stay there? Surely they had the best read on his abilities, why overpay him if you knew he wasn’t what you needed and wasn’t good enough?

Then to trade out a first rounder to get him off the books, just after asking the afl for help. And Geelong apparently wanted him anyway, the premiership side wanted him and played him regularly.

Whole situation was ridiculous.

True, that plus the free draft pick to the reigning premiers was a joke, and should never have been allowed! But, for some reason he wasnt getting selected at the Suns ... couldnt find a position for him.

What they were allowed to do with his contract was also a disgrace.

 

[davesnothere]

Taylor Goad.

Plenty to like. Absolutely nothing of him at present and obviously a 3-4 year project.

Taylor Goad Draft Profile

South Adelaide ruck Taylor Goad is a developing key position player with terrific speed and a steep rate of improvement.

[davesnothere]

Nathan Philactides

I'm surprised they've got him at the 40/60 draft range. I'm sure he's rated higher elsewhere.

They do mention composure and defensive craft need work and being a defender that might be an issue.[emoji848]

Didn't test at the national combine due to injury but was outstanding at the mobility test at the preseason combine.

Nathan Philactides Draft Profile

A run-and-gun defender with searing speed and agility, Oakleigh's Nathan Philactides takes the game on with each possession.

Lol how could it end up in the -26 range?

It’s an end of first round and our 2nd rounder we hold is currently pick 25.

Whatever pick it currently is is the pick it will be. There’s no more big name free agents or compo picks to be handed out.

End of first for him to? Carn

Sounds like a philosopher. The Theorem of Philactides.

 

[RossFC]

Updated: Picks 24, 40, 48, 75, 93 now 25, 41, 49, 76, 94.

 

[Rendaw]

WTF is with all of these extra picks. The whole draft is compromised with teams getting free picks and players all over the place

 

[Launchpad McQuack]

Essendon have played free agency quite well this year. Signed Redman and Parish. Signed McKay, the best of the available key defenders. Also brought in Gresham who will be solid and Goldstein who should be a good mentor for Draper and Bryan. Making the most of it while they aren't losing any compensation for their own players.

 

[Jonts]

Who says no to this deal with GC?
We know the pick theyre jumping us with Esava so that pick is mute as its him in the ND (or Geelong take it)
Presuming that a F3 is Sweet so it makes 48 not needed
And it bumps 41 up 9 spots whilst giving GC 50 odd pts

Any indication where he will fall in the draft?

Probably mentioned on here already but anyone following Anthony Munkara since being let go by Essendope?
