Oppo Camp Regular Non Eagles Discussion V2

[Ishmael_]

If it didn't make no money or wasn't entirely funded by a tax exempt AFL, the GC would make more sense if it was just some sort of laundering vehicle, tax avoidance scheme or cash spigot for private equity goons.

Because absent financial chicanery or outright criminality I don't understand how hundreds of millions of dollars gets you that.

 

[DanWCE]

Chicanery. What a word

 

[KERRPOW]

It could be worse for Gold Coast, they could have lost Brander and Ainsworth and Ah Chee in the one offseason.

Ironically brander would have been good depth if Darling sits out the next year or 2

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

If they did do a salary dump for Greenwood at least they didn't have to compensate Norf like they did for Brodie. So this is a better outcome for them.

 

[Chris_6678]

I don't understand the reasoning behind dumping Greenwood to the rookie list but still pay him the same?

 

[kane249]

It's ok, Gold Coast just made up for losing Greenwood by picking up Levi Casboult

FMD what a rabble

It gets worse - they weren't even putting him on the rookie list, just re-drafting through the ND.

The reason is they have limited list spots, and MUST take 3 live picks in the draft - so they had to shuffle 3 players (unfortunately one of them was a decent player who got a better offer elsewhere!).

Ah so after their first round pick they use their 4th /5th rounders to pick them back up?

LOL i wouldn't be surprised if Carlton now pick up Thompson too!

Shambolic stuff. Must feel great being a GC player or draftee knowing these dumb campaigners are at the helm. One step forward, six jumps back

 

[WCE_phil]

The problem gold coast faced was two fold.

One, they assumed like most clubs that list sizes would go back up by two.

Secondly they thought their nga preselections counted towards their 3 minimum draft selections. So had only planned on taking the one live pick.

They should have delisted someone other than Greenwood but they were forced into this situation by the AFL with conflicting information given throughout the year.

Great point. The AFL still hasn't finalised the salary cap or list sizes for 2022. If you're calling GC a shambles, than surely league HQ is even worse.

Hardly a one off occurrence though.

 

[The Dodger]

Yeah the AFL havent done well by Gold Coast. GC are just the AFL's playing arm...and its about as competent as the rest of the body.
Shipping them off for the China game by selling one of their home games in a developing market knowing at this point in time they are going to get whopped by Port over there. What a way to sell the game to another new market.

 

[kane249]

It's pretty much at the point where the AFL needs to step in and run the club themselves for a few years.

Would that be any less shambolic though?

They're still sponsoring us too. He can have a competition with Walker to see who can bankrupt them first.

That doesn't sit right with me (kinda like all of their food does in my stomach) - Slutty Jacks!

 

[FKASC]

Bizarre

 

[Truckosaurus]

I suppose the club doesn't care as long as we still get their money.

Oh and they seem to be digging up parts of the MCG oval at Lathlain. An area in front of the goal square has been cleared (and it looks like they're letting the grass die too).

That is where Schoey laid Degoey to rest.
