Toumpas, Watts and Trengove didn't cost us much. It's not like we sold the farm for them.

Watts probably could've been handy in our crack in 2020 if it wasn't for that horrendous injury he got in 2019. It was a Trent Hentschel like career ender, we obviously couldn't have foreseen that.

Luko is the only one that has cost us a bit.
And Dixon we overpaid. That the only club Gold Coast has managed to screw over (multiple times) is Port, tells you about how poor our trade team / club has been the last decade.
 
I fully understand how the trade worked but at the end of the day it was one big trade involving 3 clubs, if we keep Houston none of this happens. He was worth 2 first round picks but we needed class players and we end up with this list instead!
Lukosius terrible
Berry Jury’s out
Atkins that was scandalous
Richards has done quite well but even he was an unproven 25 year old who had played 9 AFL games and was given a 3 year deal.
You missed Whitlock - got pick 29 from GC that became 33. He's the one that might make the deal look ok in 10 years time.
We also upgraded pick 39 to 36 which became pick 38 and Moraes.

We were never going to keep Houston after Hinkley promised him a trade mid season when he said he wanted to return home. I will assume for now that Hinkley did that after talking to Davies and Cripps.
 
And Dixon we overpaid. That the only club Gold Coast has managed to screw over (multiple times) is Port, tells you about how poor our trade team / club has been the last decade.
A 1st and a 2nd round pick for Dixon is what we paid for Ryder and both were All Australian's and we built our whole forward territory gameplan around Dixon, so I don't think we over paid for him, especially compared to only getting 5 years out of Ryder and 1 season was completely lost with his drug ban. Dixon played for 9 season and 150 games for us so that was a decent return for a mid 20's player.

Parker isn't much chop at drafting KPPs and rucks, especially with 1st and 2nd round picks, so we have to give away a bit to get these type of mature players.
