What a surprise since Carlton lost their first round pick to crows typical blue bagel so transperant
On what grounds? Just being no good?
If we finish Bottom 3 and McCartin & Roberton both retire at season's end - I would support us applying for a priority pick. Should we get one ahead of GC? Should we both get one?
God , Meth , Knees , TigersAblett, Bennell, O'Meara and Prestia were supposed to be the next Akermanis, Black, Lappin and Voss. What happened there?
All true.
IMO their emphasis should be on promoting player ownership of the club & cultivating a positive, family like environment. If the culture is rotten than nothing will change.
They have good pieces, just need the off-field structures to support player & culture development.Exactly. They overpaid for Lachie Weller, but he’s a guy that wants to be there and has developed into a very good player. They need more little wins like this.
Witts was a great get, and him signing long-term, along with players like Swallow is going to encourage others to stay long term.
IIRC Ainsworth was happy to be picked up by them too.
Exactly last year WC won a flag with a huge help from PP, Richmond won a premiership because one of their best players was a PP and before that Hawthorn built an entire list on the back of bottoming out and getting PP’s.Should all the supporters of clubs that have received priority picks in the past on the back of much softer criteria, really be in here bagging the Suns and saying they shouldn't receive one?
Ultimately irrelevant.Should all the supporters of clubs that have received priority picks in the past on the back of much softer criteria, really be in here bagging the Suns and saying they shouldn't receive one?
We already have FA compo that does thatWe didn’t get one last year and won’t this year.
Absolute joke if Gold Coast get one. Not just from a Carlton perspective either. The Crows traded with us no doubt thinking or hoping we’d finish bottom. At the moment it’s looking like we’re headed for 17th or 18th. Totally unfair to the Crows and undermines the integrity of future pick trades if the AFL decides they’ll just hand out extra picks when they see fit
Maybe they'll luck into a Jarryd Roughead-type player. What a fine player he has been. How did he get to your club again?I don't blame them for asking for one but the AFL should say no. No team should be gifted priority picks and definitely not pick 1 or any early picks.
If they are going to give our a pick it should have to be at the end of the first round at the earliest so every team has a chance to make a pick before a team has one gifted to them.
They already did that last year, it didn't do anything. The state leagues have already been denuded of talent thanks to the mid-season draft and last year's concessions to Gold Coast and Carlton.Should be given pick to use solely of top mature state leaguers (and not use it to trade)
Yeah go cry about it some more. Not every trade works out as well as a team would like, and every draft with a priority pick has had teams trading for second round picks that get bumped down a spot also. That's the nature of the game, it isn't set up to benefit Adelaide specifically.They dont need another pick that would walk.
And then yes there would be the unbelievably unfair nature of the impact to the Crows given the swap deal. Especially considering it seems the top 2 are daylighr ahead of the rest.
Not just a few thousand, more than 10 000 every week, and 16 000 this past weekend in a game played in the rain. In Queensland. And you call this a "failed experiment"? Pull your head in. If you want to suggest culling a team to benefit Tasmania, start with your own.It has been a failed experiment and for the few thousand faithful that turn up and support their team it is a sad state of affairs but they will never have a true presence and the NRL experiments on the Gold Coast also reflect this.
Good call. If I were the Suns I'd be attempting to trade for Walker, Keays and Bastinac. Even if some of them only play NEAFL, the leadership and experience would help.The Gold Coast Suns should look to take advantage of this. There is a long list of fringe players in the Lions line-up who aren't getting opportunities because the club doctors have done so well in keeping almost all of our best 22 on the park all year for the past few years. These are players that would likely be mutually beneficial if the Lions were to move on to the Suns, giving us more list space to develop more talented youth, and giving the suns more leadership to develop their youth.
Exactly. Can’t see you dropping out of contention for a long time. You will never be the superpower everyone feared though.Our midflieds ages at the moment are 25, 24, 23, 22 and 20. We have spread our age bracket to ensure we are, at worst, competitive for a long period.
they'd have got cameron without that pick, just would have required them to give other picks up. the point is that if they were still on about "woe is us we are too far gone to get out this ourselves" its unlikely cameron would have wanted to go there in the first placeBrisbane lions recieved a Priority pick that they eventually used to secure Charlie Cameron who is their leading Goalkicker this year.
Gold Coast need help.
But the suns have been awful for 100% of their existence.Seriously though. Give it more time. Most of us are not old enough to see that our clubs went through the same stuff.
You mate are a tosser, tell us the "three times" we died but were apparently miraculously "saved", by who? White Knights? No matter how much you detest it, 90% of AFL fans see your club as a plastic franchise.Organic? Your club died in its home town and then died 3 times more times and was "saved"
Lol I see you look up Google. Great. It should tell you what a pathetic stain they were back in the day and if they followed your rules for "life" they would of been killed off decades ago.
Run along bandwagoner.
AFL has to do something dramatic, significant and immediately for the Suns, they can't continue to leak very high draft picks. I'm not against giving them the first pick as a PP. Maybe give them two picks after the non finalists that MUST be traded for experienced players and an extra $500k in the cap to make these players offers too good to refuse. Just do something, anything AFL, chucking them some third rate local league players does nothing except clog their list.And like clockwork GC ask for yet another high pick: https://www.afl.com.au/news/2019-07...ound-gorilla-on-this-suns-to-ask-for-no1-pick
Into the ******* bin. Until they can demonstrably do something with those kids they're just asking to ruin another promising career.
Maybe they'll luck into a Jarryd Roughead-type player. What a fine player he has been. How did he get to your club again?

And it's quite odd that you have done enough draft reading to say Rowell and Anderson are daylight ahead of the rest, but not enough to know that they're best mates, so if they're recruited together there's actually a lesser chance of them walking out.
