News Suns to ask for Pick 1 as a priority pick

[Peel67skin]

Think Carlton will be okay with our pick bumped down

Hahaha remember to bid on Hawthorn father and son player also if your pick is in front of hawthorn.

 

[Peel67skin]

Except for the players career, which is what happened at Melbourne 2007-2013

Priority picks didn’t help Melbourne, just ruined careers.

Really don't care once GCS get it just run and never look back.

 

[Blacky]

Trading pick 2 for Lachie Weller and delisting Jarrad Lyons should preclude them from a PP.

It isn’t access to talent which is their problem, it’s their shitty management of the club.

There's GCs's problem in a nutshell....The attitude that a PP will somehow fix everything & make things fine & dandy....It won't.

Anyway, it's all just politicking so that the other 17 clubs will heave a sigh of relief, instead of a protest, when the Suns are given an end of first freebie.

They just need a way to get them to win more games. Maybe become the NT (like GWS has ACT) game team , give them three games there a season to build a bigger supporter base and hopefully a better chance of getting 10 wins a season

I would back an increase in salary cap for a couple seasons to lure some ready made players

Would help them become competitive in the short term.

I would take Lachie Weller and Charlie Ballard (which is what we got out of it) over LDU (who we were going to take in the draft at 2). Jarryd Lyons is decent but was on a big salary and was a like for like for Miles who was a lot cheaper. We have been fixing mistakes of the past in the last 12 months. You need to do some research and understand context.

Lyons is so much better than Miles it’s laughable.

Disagree on the LDU v Weller point of view too. That said, I do agree you should be looking at veterans than bringing in more high draft picks to ruin.

Don’t deserve a PP imo. You’ve had plenty of access to talent, and it’s not on the AFL to bail you out for poor decision making.

Probably shouldn’t give this recruiting team an extra top pick if they were going to take LDU with pick 2

But then pick 6 for May worth it

Yeah of course he looks better next to Neale and Zorko. His disposal and defensive transition is still terrible.

If you genuinely think that you'd take LDU who hasn't fired a shot over Weller and Ballard (who looks to be an absolute jet) then I don't think you've watched much footy this year.

Your opinion is just that, just like everyone on here. Your ranting about us doesn't change one bit of the outcome.

James Brayshaw IQ = 4

Another bad trade by the Gold Coast Suns recruiting team

 

[Comeonden]

Ballard a jet? Turn it up

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Looks to become*

I recommend watching him play though. You'd be impressed.

Looks like the suns will get priority access to their academy players without bids . That will get them two quality players this year and Alex Davies and Jack Johnstone next year

Alex Davies will be a very good footballer if he keeps going the way he is

Which should be the case with all clubs, ridiculous clubs have to get draft points to recruit players.

LDU will be 10 x the footballer either of them ever will be.

Playing with a busted shoulder that needed a reco for half the season didn't help him this year.

 

[OB11]

I'm looking forward to seeing this thread when the announcement is made.

 

[schmuttt]

Doesn't really bother me if we drop to 3, should be backing our recruitment to get a quality player regardless since it'll be a top 3 pick. A PP that GC will take to the draft does nothing to help their cause though, it is very unlikely whoever they take in the top 3 are going to have a significant impact on their onfield success in the next two years.

Thanks..feel much better now.

LOL lets see, 10x is a huge difference

 

[Pykie]

I guess the 17 x top 10 picks, 25 top 25 picks, pre-selection access, mini draft player access, increased salary cap, free agency priority access, a priority pick, the best player of the modern era handed to them in his prime and a new ****ing stadium over the course of a 200 game period wasn't enough of a leg up for Tony Cochrane....

But hey, they don't want to seem desperate or like they have their hand out....

I agree we have had a lot given and screwed it up.

However, if you have such an issue, what would have you considered fair for us to get in 2010?

Straight swap for Burgoyne don't @ me
