Delisted Suns

[Guest Gareth Keenan]

Ok, here is the list of delisted players from the Gold Coast Suns.

Nathan Ablett

Marc Lock

Roland Ah Chee*

Michael Coad

Joel Tippett*

Jack Stanlake

Jake Crawford*

Jack Stanley*

*Rookies.

Not much there to pick through.

Maybe Ah Chee? Longshot though, I reckon.

Pretty sure they'll still need to make a few more changes to accommodate incoming draftees.

[Carlos Danger 380]

Coad is the best of the bunch but in his late 20's coming off a nasty hamstring injury - I'm not sure he's worth the punt. Rookie selection at best.

[Little Goffy 14,398]

We could recruit Nathan Ablett to show the other guys how to get a premiership medal without really trying very hard.

More seriously, I'd rookie Ah Chee. Based largely on what I was aware of the time of his drafting, I must confess. Plus his name is fun to say.

classic!

Yeah i heard good things about the guy when drafted also, rookie spot cant hurt, could be the small forward we need?

[Nasher 33,607]

Given that GC had a bigger list than anyone else, I'd suggest that their delistees are the least likely to be any good, as they don't have the same "we'd really love to keep you, but..." problem. I'm usually not that interested in other club's discards at the best of times, even less so in this case.

This is the classic "draft him because he has a funny name" syndrome, as seen with Serhat Temel and Majak Daw in previous years. If Ah Chee was any good, GC at the very least would've given him a second year on the rookie list.

[The Chazz 4,077]

I'd be offering a very late pick for Charlie Dixon. He is not delisted, so it would cost us something, but a 4th round pick would be good if it worked.

What's the story there? I didn't pay any attention to them after a while, but I thought he really looked the goods early in the season.

Glad you brought up Serhat again- he would be our Full forward now..if I had my way.

That's ridiculous, you left out Casey Sibosado.

Was mentioned as a potential trade option for the right return. It could be a case of offering one of our "fringe players" plus a last round pick, and in return we get Dixon and a 3rd round pick, or something to that affect.

The GC have a lot of KPP/Rucks, they wont be able to keep them all, and Dixon will be 21 next year, with the hope of playing more footy (only played 8 games this year). Perhaps we could offer Spencer, who could be a ready-made replacement for Fraser, which will give them Smith and Spencer to share the rucks.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,013]

No thanks. They took a hell of a lot of kids, and like every draft some of them turn out to be duds. I see no need to take a punt on a kid who has already had a shot at AFL and failed. Let them play a few years in second tier competitions and show something special before we think about them again.

No, he'd been in the Casey 2s and we'd be moaning about how Fev's presence was hampering his development, along with Lucas Cook's.

Or he'd have already been delisted.

If we want players with names which are fun to say we should follow in the footsteps of GCS and GWS and raid the NRL for Fui Fui Moi Moi.(I have no idea if I spelt that name correctly). Or trade for Steele Sidebottom - voted in an online poll, I believe, as the funniest name in sport.

No way - get former Melbourne Storm forward Pale Ale.

Surely Freddie Clutterbuck of East Perth should be getting this push.
