With all due respect, that is more wishful thinking I suspect.
The Suns have apparently spent months making a huge sales pitch to the AFL requesting why they should get a pre first 1 draft pick.
They ain't going in for this half-assed, they genuinely think they have a legit shot at it (getting a PP)
They can can think what they like doesnt mean they will get it. Theres no case for it.
St Kilda earned pick 3 last year, was it fair that they didn't end up drafting there? GWS earned pick 3 in 2014, was it fair that they didn't end up drafting there?
Thank you. Then it's also fair that Melbourne gets bumped down to pick 3 if the AFL choose to award pick 2 to the Suns. I'm not trying to pick on you in particular, just demonstrating to everyone reading that the logic is sound because the rules are as they are.Yes it is. That is how free agency and pick trading works.

Ummmmmmmmmmmm......
Equalisation is not fair. That is the whole point. The whole point.
It does not work otherwise.
It is supposed to be good for the Suns and bad for everyone else.
not even if we traded them for a decent, mature player?Throwing draft picks at the suns wont do anything.
Thats the point. The whole point.

what else can they do? increase our salary cap again?
If the suns can retain their kids and get some experience in they will be better next season. Rowell and Anderson to.

To be fair, when Carlton and Brissie were bad you played against GWS and Gold Coast 18 years old kids or less travel. 16 team competition is a lot different than 18 teams competition.Happy for them to get a pp at the start of the draft although bemused as every by the AFL when Carlton and brissie were as bad or worse in recent years.
Carlton and Brisbane had both made the finals in their existence, and within the previous decade. Gold Coast haven't.Happy for them to get a pp at the start of the draft although bemused as every by the AFL when Carlton and brissie were as bad or worse in recent years.
IIRC Brisbane managed to get a priority pick anyway, though it wasn't before the first round.
The one that didn't get a priority pick in the last ten years despite being as poor as GC are now is Melbourne.
Great move if the suns could land Burgoyne. Should consider targeting more Hawthorn players who may be on the outer as well who provide leadership and experience.
Yeah think we can really see things turning.If the Suns can keep hold of most of their young talent over the next few years they are going to have the bones of an exceptional young list eg. Noah Anderson, Matt Rowell, Charlie Ballard, Ben Ainsworth, Jack Bowes, Jack Lukosius, Brayden Fiorini, Izak Rankine, Ben King, lots of star/x factor there.
That's not taking into account who they could get for their current picks 15 & 20 in this years draft + what they get for Jack Martin.
Then you have Hugh Greenwood, Brandon Ellis and maybe one/both of the Crouch brothers to add experience and leadership.
