Your 10 Untouchables

[The Grover]

Read an article about how Gold Coast Team is going to get players for their team.

One rumour was clubs will be asked to rank their top 10 players, with those players untouchable, however gold coast may be able to have 1 player outside this list from each team.

Obviously this has to be agreed to by the clubs, but if it was agreed to what would our list be.

I won't put them in order, my list is:

Judd
Kreuzer
Gibbs
Murphy
Hampson
Waite
Jamison
Walker
Fev
Stevens

I could have left Fev & Stevens out as they will both be 30 when new team starts. However at present not many others I could put in the list.

Our 1st draft pick this year will be untouchable & maybe 2nd depending where that pick is.

Everyone's thoughts on the concept & whether it could eventuate & our list of 10.

It will be more than 10 or else it's an absolute joke.

Look at the NBA - When the Charlotte Bobcats came into the league each club had to nominate 10 untouchables, everyone else was able to be picked.

AFL lists are much bigger than NBA rosters. The NBA teams were allowed their starting 5 and their best 5 bench players to all be safe, so to see anything else happen in the AFL would be a disgrace.

It should be an untouchable list of 25 at the very least.

Can't really disagree with that......So glad you didn't say Simspons - Only gets a kick because he has been playing in an average side.

Very harsh on Simmo,he has busted his gut for years?

That is pretty harsh. In fact it is absolute shit.

Why has this board turned on Simmo so badly this year?

He has had a slow start to the year, but he is a QUALITY player.

He was certainly in my thoughts to include in top 10.

 

[gandaal]

1. Chris Judd
2. Marc Murphy
3. Bryce Gibbs
4. Matthew Kreuzer


Everyone else I'd consider trading if the right offer was on the table.

Obviously how the playing list is formed for the Gold Coast is going to be a hot & emotional topic for all clubs & supporters.

But a top 25 is not going to leave them much talent to choose from, not on our list anyway.

NBA teams only need to get a couple of good players to be competitive, whereas an AFL club is going to need a lot of good players in a list of 39.

Maybe somewhere in between 10 to 25 will be agreed.

Where not talking about trading, we are talking about Gold Coast having a free choice of a player from your list outside your list of untouchables.

Why discuss an impossibility? If players are contracted they can't go anywhere without the express agreement of the player and the club. That's just common contract law and the AFL can't do anything about that.

Contracted players get traded all the time, the player would have to agree to go.

The clubs are going to have to make some concessions for this to work.

I think plenty of players would be interested in going, Gold Coast will probably get extra in their salary cap.

I doubt it would be a free for all pick outside that 10 though. The players association would not have players being forced to go to the GC or sydney against there will.

 

[1eight6four]

Pratt
Swann
Judd
Murphy
Gibbs
Fev
Jarrad
Kruezer

The player would have to agree to go and so would the club. The Gold Coast won't be able to select players just for the fun of it. This scenario would never happen. They tried something similar when the Bears started up and it was a complete failure.

I only have 8 with the rest of the squad up for trade if the deals / offers were good.

 

[DaveyBlues]

There'd have to be more the 10 untouchables wouldn't there? more like 10 touchables, that sounds a better idea to me. What was the system when Port came in?

 

[HBF]

He has had a slow start to the year, but he is a QUALITY player.

I'm a massive fan for Simpson, and the problem seems to be that he is being played out of position. Why have they moved him away from the wing, a position he has made his own for the past 2 seasons. It's not as if we have a dearth of quick players willing to break the lines, and back their leg speed.
