Any interest in the above? Coad is unlucky, as is Joel Tippet...

Mods- is it worth having an end of season drafting/trading superthread as this one seems better for piss taking than real discussion! ;)

Coad is damn unlucky, his hamstring injury must be career ending stuff, will be picked up for sure if he is fit enough.

Tippett was horrorable in the games i saw.
 
Yeah Tippet didn't look great but had big wraps on him and is a young ruckman/kpp... He will get another chance I think (not with us).

Can't beleive Mark Lock didnt get a game this year and has now been dumped. 2010 Captain and B&F as a 19yr old in the VFL! Here's his club bio;

Marc Lock was captain of the GC SUNS 2010 VFL side.Although the understated Lock had shown plenty as a junior level footballer – he received the Coaches Award as a defender after Gold Coast Stingrays undefeated run at the 2008 Under 18 State Championships - there was plenty of talent stealing the limelight during his first pre-season at the Gold Coast Football Club (as it was then known).

But Lock’s approachability, actions-not-words work ethic, and absolute commitment on the playing field each week clearly stood out because he the playing group’s clear first choice as the club’s inaugural captain.

He proved an inspired choice - at season end he also took home the club’s first best and fairest award.Lock was raised in Adelaide but moved to northern NSW as a teenager. He cut his footballing teeth at Coolangatta Tweed Heads AFC. Now played almost exclusively as a negating midfielder capable of pushing forward and pinching the odd goal, Lock’s on-field hallmarks are his clever ball use, level-headedness, running capacity and all round consistency.

Lock may be worth a punt should we not want to keep introducing players to the system considering how we've drafted the last few years.
 
I am not a believer of the 'we have too many types don't draft him' thinking. I figure if they are better than someone else they will dislodge them and hence improve the team.

However, saying that you do need a balanced list.
 
What about a reject of our own?

Shane Valenti just won his 2nd Liston Medal.

Might cost a compo pick at the rate he is going but offering them up seems to be in vogue :p
