This is such a seductive thread. Every time I come in here I almost forget just how low our odds of getting either of these 2 guys home is!
Getting both? To a team that refuses to sell the farm, practically impossible. Hell, we would probably have to sell 2 farms!
Horrific really.
Also there was another 7 aged between 27-30.
So they have 11 U25. We had 11 over 27
We really are at the edge of the cliff with this group.
It's been building all season not just last fortnightI'd be inclined to go further. This group fell off the cliff in the past fortnight.
I seem to recall everyone being ecstatic with what we got for Cameron? Pick 12 looks like a steal now.We sold the farm for Gibbs and let Cameron go.
Of course YOU would.
wow..why so much? - B Crouch on his own would command close to pick 1. A straight swap with pick 2 for Lukosius seems around the mark if he wants to leave. Maybe we get in on a bigger deal and offer greenwood and pick 2 for Lukosius and say the brisbane 1st rounder they have.
Lots of noise on ABC radio up here (rainy gold coast) this morning in regards to the suns and their predicament.. had suns representatives on discussing the weekends result and what to do moving forward..
Making noise about draft concessions and asking the AFL for help..
Also discussion on rules around new draftees... yep.. the Suns rep, not sure his name, was discussing how they were talking with the AFL about how they need to be given the ability to hold on to the lads they pick with higher draft picks for longer with say 4 year contracts instead of the 2 years..
Wonder if thats because they are getting bad vibes from the guys they got with high draft picks last year in regards to retaining them... cant get their signatures onto new longer term deals maybe?.. being told by the young draftees that they arent happy/or homesick etc..
I can certainly see this happening. I'd hope for wrath and fury from AFC but we would meekly bend over and accept.I predicted this last night.
They will give them pick 2 and we will slide to 3 (assuming Carlton finish 17th). Keep Rowell and Anderson BFFs together.
Perfect time to hand out a priority pick when the club holding pick 2 didn't actually finish in that position.
Yep... you can see it coming from a mile away.. and the AFL gets to stick it up us South Aussies again!..I predicted this last night.

Chapman would thank the AFL for their wisdom if this happenedI predicted this last night.

Or one from left field - what if we looked at a swap deal ie Laird or Milera for Lukosius with maybe a swap of 2nd rounders in their favor if need be. Of course wanting players to head there is the issue but to get big you have to give big. That way we keep the likely pick 2 to take an elite young mid like Anderson or Rowell - whichever GC don't take
The AFL didn't help by sending them to a half arsed clubrooms etc. GC should have had a top AFL standard training facility from the get go and it didnt.Gold Coast are lobbying for the first round draft pick because they can’t compete since their inception.
I think the afl should apologise to all the other clubs and admit the expansion into Qld was a failure and clubs lost players for nothing.
Laird was dual all Australia and is having a bit of a leaner year this year. But up there, he would quarterback your half back line. He is a proven elite level player. As for Milera, see how he goes in the coming seasons - I think you will be very surprised at how good he will beHaven't seen anything from Milera that I haven't seen from Ah Chee, Martin, Powel.. and I think you guys have worked out that laird racking up touches behind the play is sometimes just a hindrance.

If we could somehow end up with Anderson, Rankine and Luko this trade period I would be a very happy guy. We would need to give up pick 2 for Anderson. Pick 20, BCrouch and Greenwood for Luko and Rankine. Would throw in Riley Knight to get it over the line. Gold coast get BCrouch, Greenwood and Knight which helps their midfield immediately plus they still have pick 1 and 20.I'd trade Brad Crouch for pick 1

A midfield of Rankine, Anderson, Jones, MCrouch, Sloane, Milera, McHenry sounds bloody tantalising to me. Luko, Lynch, Berg, Fogarty, Stengle, Gallucci, Mcadam up forward with Rankine, McHenry resting up there. End of 2020 bring in Grundy and then we can start improving. Throw in a gun coaching group and watch success happen.
You guys need experienced players and a bigger salary cap. Would give GC an extra 2 million a year for 3 years to sort their s**t out. No use going for 18 year old kids that will take 5 years to develop. Club may not be around then. You guys need a quick bounce.

Dream on.
What it says is that the majority of their side were kids and they smashed us.
