TAR Gold Coast Kangaroos - 2006 what could have happened

Remove this Banner Ad

Since my PC2011 game has corrupted and I'm hoping I can get that fixed, I decided I'll start a TAR Story. Since the lists aren't updated fully, and are still in the process of working that out, I'm starting at the 2007 season.

There's a twist though. The Kangaroos have elected to move to Gold Coast and therefore they have several concessions:

10 of their 2005 list can stay
1 uncontracted player from each club (Must be 21 or above, >=75 OV)
Picks 1-5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15 and the four Kangaroos picks from the 2005 AFL Draft

Gold Coast Kangaroos list:
Glenn Archer
Domenic Cassisi (PORT ADELAIDE)
Mitch Clark (Pick #9)
Jason Cloke (COLLINGWOOD)
Ben Dixon (HAWTHORN)
Josh Drummond (BRISBANE)
Matthew Egan (GEELONG)
Xavier Ellis (Pick #3)
Chris Grant (BULLDOGS)
Shannon Grant
Kasey Green (KANG PICK)
Brent Harvey
Shaun Higgins (Pick #11)
David Hille (ESSENDON)
Shannon Hurn (Pick #13)
Tim Hutchison (KANG PICK)
Michael Johnson (FREMANTLE)
Andrew Kellaway (RICHMOND)
Josh Kennedy (Pick #4)
Ben Mathews (SYDNEY)
Mark McGough (ST KILDA)
Hamish McIntosh
Marc Murphy (Pick #1)
Scott Pendlebury (Pick #5)
Drew Petrie
Brady Rawlings
Matt Riggio (KANG PICK)
Saverio Rocca
Paddy Ryder (Pick #7)
Ashley Sampi (WEST COAST)
Adam Simpson
Hayden Skipworth (ADELAIDE)
Andrew Swallow (KANG PICK)
Dale Thomas (Pick #2)
Bret Thornton (CARLTON)
Travis Varcoe (Pick #15)
Shannon Watt
Daniel Wells
Matthew Whelan (MELBOURNE)

As a sidenote, I'm so glad the Gold Coast team of today didn't have the 2005 draft to pick out of :eek:

Gold Coast pumped for 2006 Season​

Gold Coast are very excited for the 2006 Season, having finalised their list and coaching staff over the past few days. Coach Peter Williams has high hopes for this list and likes the mix of experienced and youth players. "We have a solid group who are incredibly talented. We have guys like Chris Grant and Adam Simpson who can really lead the young stars of the future." While they aren't expected to set the world alight in their first year, they want to build the foundation for the future.
