GOLD COAST
Arrivals: Mabior Chol (free agent – Richmond)

Departures: Will Brodie (traded – Fremantle), Aiden Fyfe (delisted), Jarrod Harbrow (retired), Jack Hombsch (retired), Jordan Murdoch (retired), Zac Smith (retired), Luke Towey (retired)

Uncontracted: Jacob Townsend

Contracted: 43 (including one category B rookie)

Draft picks: 3

Malcolm Rosas re-signed for two years after Essendon showed interest in him. Rookies Matt Conroy, Patrick Murtagh and Hewago Paul Oea are also sticking around, but Towey returned to Ireland. A call is still to be made on Townsend. The Suns can have 38 primary-listed players and nine category A rookies, as part of the AFL’s assistance package – but will have only one category B rookie (Oea). They are set to draft ex-Blue Levi Casboult as a rookie.

Zone Selections can be used for Cat B so is that a way around selecting an academy player

Really rated Fyfe in the reserves matches I saw
And given he's 190cm+ seemed as though he could have developed into a 3rd tall defender or even a midfielder

Running half back and maybe push up onto a wing is what I saw from him. Good overhead, above average speed, neat kick, great size, lots to work with. Big shame.

You often wonder if there's something else in play with these decisions but if it was strictly a footballing decision it seems odd to the supporters
Out of all the delistings it was the one that made me go Hmmmmmm

They mentioned Towey has moved back home on the call the other day. Hence the spots for more mature players.

Makes sense for him to go home into the next phase of his life, given sometimes afl isn't for everyone, and when you are nowhere near it selection wose.

From all accounts GC are only taking the one pick in the draft & will need to elevate 2 rookies to the Primary list to make up the 3. Who do you think they will elevate & who will they move to the Rookie list from the Primary list? McLennan, Burgess & Corbett might be candidates for the rookie list I reckon.

I think the other 2 selections will just be pre-listing two academy kids onto the rookie list.

Suns will take best player at pick 3 either Callaghan, Andrew or Gibcus. Then prelist Bodhi Uwland and Ned Stevens. Likely delistings Caleb Graham, Jez McLennan, Darcy McPherson, Chris Burgess

Pretty sure all those players are contracted, so doubt they delist them this year. Next year could see Graham and McLennan in trouble though.

What I did read was there is a rule you can transfer players from the senior list to the rookie list after the draft and before the rookie draft.


"They will, however, be able to shift players on the senior list to the rookie list in the time between the national and rookie drafts if the player is contracted for 2022."

AFL allow this year direct transfer of players from senior to rookie list provided they are under contract in 2022.

Correct, no de-listing provided players are under contract and agree to transfer.
 
Sam Edmund mentioned on SEN this afternoon that the SUNS have a slight interest in Aaron Vandenberg, who recently departed Melbourne. He seems to be a strong character, but his body has repeatedly let him down

He can play, Melbourne loved him too. Used to play him half done all the time.

Body is a letdown tho

Hobbs will be a star, high floor, high ceiling. I'd be ok if we took him/callaghan over gibcus and traded in a chb next year's trade period. A draftee chb will make little difference to us next year.

We need outside mids, Hobbs is just more of what we have.

Yeah I kinda feel we don’t actually need gibcus right now. Could easily try and get Darcy Moore or Sicily types
