Richie Douglas could provide two years of solid assistance. His time at Adelaide was clearly done but he doesn't look like a lost cause age wise.

Squiggle tips Saints at 51% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
Bingo, most intelligent post in this thread. I'd be targeting Port's players in that age range (Boak, Gray, Ebert) since they're apparently being asked to roll over salary.Gifting cooked, retired players another year on the Gold Coast will only make the Suns worse. Roughead and Armitage have next to nothing to offer on-field any more. Playing the game has passed them by. The type of player they should be getting are those who are just turning 30 and may only be offered ongoing one-year contracts at their current clubs. The Suns should swoop on them with 3-4-year deals. The likes of Issac Smith or Shaun Higgins could potentially give three years of A-grade service and have a greater impact on building a culture than washed-up blokes who will struggle to play a handful of games.
I remember Hawthorn fans saying the exact same thing about Hodge
Daisy would walk into their team
I agree. It's a bit disappointing that Thomas is being let go yet a scrub like Polson remains on the list. Especially given Coniglio is not going to be coming, there is not a big need for salary cap savingHonestly I'm surprised he's not been given another contract with you guys, he's playing good footy and IMO he's got another two years left.
Though I understand now that Carlton are going in a different direction with their list.
I think that if Thomas is wanting to play on then GCS should try and get him on board.
I reckon David Armitage would do a decent job at the Gold Coast.

He would only get to kick 6 again in the intra club match.Both of these two are cooked. Don't let Roughies last game against the GC fool you.
Yes, but she's recently given birth to twins, so she's probably not up for it...Daisy would walk into their team
We sure extracted every ounce of mileage out of that lot.For the Swans
McVeigh body is failing him
Smith hamstring is gone
Grundy bad back
Jack just looks to slow although body is ok.
Can’t see any being of use for the Suns.
Unless they are going to play a majority of games next year, no. Great to get experience but if they are going to sit in the NEAFL like George Horlin Smith, no thanks.
He is great around the club, looks amazing in the NEAFL. Just way too slow for AFL and doesn't have enough weapons.Is there a story for Horlin Smith, injury, pre season? Sort of recruit I'd think should be a starting 22 player, lesson for recruiters.
So poor recruiting, mark it down as dont do that again.He is great around the club, looks amazing in the NEAFL. Just way too slow for AFL and doesn't have enough weapons.
Yeah, I reckon he was brought in more for the leadership qualities he possesses more than his playing ability. Last year we needed players of good character like GHS, Miles, Hombsch after losing Lynch and May.So poor recruiting, mark it down as dont do that again.
And then straight to Wine cellar for a nice red.Daisy would walk into their team

Agree, Hawks would be playing finals this year with Hodge in the side. He has really surprised me.Hodge was mostly cooked, and is a shadow of his former self. It is 15 years since he's averaged less possessions than he has this year. He's still valuable to the Lions because of his on field leadership - something they were sorely lacking - and he's still enough of a warrior that he's not a complete liability on the ground. Really, it is a testament to his quality that he can be so close to cooked, and still contribute as he has for 2 years. TBH I wish we had kept him - a cooked Hodge is still pretty decent. Should probably retire now though, as the trajectory doesn't look good, and he could go from serviceable to embarrassing if the current trend continues into 2020.
