Gold Coast given 4 top 20 picks over the next 3 drafts

[Wojcinski]

Gold Coast has been handed a whopping assistance package from the AFL, receiving four extra draft picks over three seasons.

Their assistance package includes pick 1 in this year's draft, as well as the first pick of the second round, currently pick 20.

They have also received a mid-first round pick in the 2020 AFL draft, currently pick 11, and the first pick of the second round in the 2021 AFL draft, currently pick 20

Wow. What a terrible decision.

Can't wait to see how they * these picks up.

 

[ldamico]

When they eligible for free agency?

 

[ohhhBigMalcho]

Rowell and Anderson, best friends from a young age, will be the pillars of the club going forward...the rest of the concessions is a bit overs i would have thought and will annoy a lot of clubs in the bottom 8

 

[Matera92]

Can't wait to see how they fu** these picks up.

If I was a young player about to get drafted I'd be doing everything I could to tank my draft stocks so I didn't get picked up by this joke of an expansion.

Wow this is embarrassing.

Just suck it up and move them to Tasmania

 

[BRAB]

To think all you have to do to receive these priority picks is delist Jarryd Lyons.

 

[schmuttt]

Can't see how priority picks help with player retention.

 

[hawkman]

More highly rated kids careers to be ruined

 

[Professor Knowall]

So in addition to the picks, they also get Darwin as part of their zone and other clubs can't bid on their academy players.

Precisely. This won’t make a lick of difference. It’s like bailing water on the Titanic.

They need senior leaders (on and off field) who are committed to the club.

 

[JayJ20]

They've lost the plot. The AFL really want another GWS.

 

[bigm386]

Why not just hand them the 2019 flag? Sorry Richmond but GCS need more handouts.

Considering what the Lions went through and how amazingly they have gotten their s**t together and are better for it. This is embarrassing.

+rookie list extended from 4 to 10 players. Gives them pretty big coverage for injuries.

 

[BEEG]

Might as well give them 2 million extra in the salary cap and the ability to play 22 on the field instead of 18.

 

[Barlos Crathwaite]

So let me get this straight...GC are useless and the AFL is propping them up????? What kind of governance is that??? Rewarding mediocrity with gifts ffs. WC have never had so much as a thumbs up from the AFL and look at our success.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Why bend over backwards for a team that has no supporters and no future?

 

[Mofra]

Screws over the clubs trying to rebuild.
GCS should get additional retention and marketing allowance in lieu of 3 years worth of picks.

 

[Baird]

Just fold

 

[Bic]

Embarrassing stuff.

A few clubs in the bottom half dozen would be pretty pissed.

 

[Superstar swan]

Incredible by the afl...this leage is a joke

So 1 & 2 for Rowell and Anderson.

Either their First (~ 1) or ~ 11 in 2020 to Adelaide for Brad Crouch, plus there'll be other guys likely incoming.

 

[lewdogs]

This is disgraceful.

 

[iluvparis]

Have won as many games as Carlton over the last 6 years

Multiple top 20 draft picks plz AFL #kthxbye

 

[BEEG]

Positive is Melbourne don't get either Rowell or Anderson this makes me happy.
