Whatever.

Q) What do Fyfe, T Kelly, Dangerfield, P Cripps, Bontempelli, Grundy, Gawn, Neale and Dusty Martin have in common?

A) Blokes that are dominating 2019 and are at the absolute top of their game, and none of them were top 2 picks.

The eventual best player of this draft wonโ€™t be picks 1 or 2.

Ok, but if you wanted to get King from GC, pick 2 would be the best ammo to use as they were desperate for it.

They won't be desperate for pick 3.

The AFL knew that and awarded the first top PP in how long, after saying they were only for the most extreme cases. GC have several young stars to come through.ย 

Unless there is a backroom deal to give us something, like funding for our new centre, we have been shafted again by the ruling body of the competition, I mean business.

BOTH Wagner boys for pick 2? Or King?

Not remotely aย fair deal, but they need players that want to be there. Help the talented kids they already have enjoy Qld. Itโ€™s not exactly a bad spot to be an overpaid footballer.

No offence to the Wagners (and I'm sure they'd agree) but they could be three times the players that they are now andย this still not be a fair deal for Gold Coast.ย

Josh Schache was the clear number 2 pick in 2015ย whoโ€™s developed into a 1 goal a game key forward that spends time in the Footscray magoos each year.

Can Rowell and Anderson transfer their under 18โ€™s dominance from U 18โ€™s to AFL?

Great point,ย 

Petracca pick 2 : no

Kelly pick 2 : yes

Thereโ€™s no guarantees.

Yes it's a bit unfair but I can't believe it's gotten to the point we're upset we're getting pick 3 instead of pick 2. Those days should be well and truly behind us.

The days of relying forย help from the AFL (ie. getting pick 3 as compo for losing Frawley) should be well and truly behind us.ย

I would. How could that happen?

Who knows. I'm an ideas man.

How about our pick 3 goes toย  saints who trade it for king, giving gc picks 1,2 and 3.

We get saints pick 6 and maybe their next ย pick (pick 23?) And next year's first pick.

Gc promise not to take the player we want at pick 6 and we hope blues ir swans dont grab him (Maybe the AFL 'suggests' they dont - on the down low od course)..

Makes it hard for Saints to get Hill but they would have a pair of kings. We could package up pick 20 pic 23 and next year's Saints 1st rounder for Hill. That was fun. Ezy done.

Failing all of that of course we could simply trade our pick 3 for King and gc' next first rounderย  (the lion's pick) giving us a first round pick and a gun forward.ย ย And we xould then look to trade weideman to magpies for Elliot

We should Lobby to receive the suns pick 17 as part of being pushed back by them receiving pick 2.

ย 

Who cares if we end up with Pick 2 or 3?

At the start of the year, we would have all been expecting a pick in the range of 16-18. Instead, the club got ahead of itself, players turn up unfit and well, the rest is history.

Anybody who thinks we have been screwed by the AFL because GC get pick 2 need to take a good hard look at themselves imo, If this club actually stood for something, we wouldn't even be discussing the possibility of getting an early 1st round pick!

Explain to me how the AFL [censored] us over?ย 

Let me know the last time we turned a top draft pick into a genuine star.ย 

ย When we were languishing at the bottom of the ladder the AFL decided to give all the top picks to GWS and the Suns. Now they look like theyโ€™ll do it again!

I have no idea what you said before that bolded partย Bin but if it resulted in that outcome i'd be ecstatic!

Send it to Mahoney.

Gillon McLachlan really is a blight on the game. He moves the goal posts to suit his agenda, talks about wanting players to stay at certain teams (Coniglio) and comes up with rules on the fly.

I don't care if it is pick 2 or 3, as the end result is these players will eventually leave the GC and come back to Melbourne. The only way the AFL will be able to keep players up there is if they give the Suns double the salary cap of the other clubs. It's just so frustrating that this is another example in a long line of AFL bias and a completely inept administration.

ย 

Anderson (class, goal kicking mid), Ash (speed) and Young (elite kick) all fit our needs.ย

Yeh well had we sorted our [censored] out as a club, we wouldn't have had to suffer the consequences would we.ย 


Here is a thought.. why don't they get their priority pick ahead of the 8 clubs that made finals, so not to impact those trying to move up the biased ladder... I don't know just a bit of logic!

It's genuinely embarrassing and cringe worthy that posters are kicking up a stink.ย

ย 

why?

Well, that settles it, I'm now officially on the 'trade down and trade up' campaign.

Ideal result would be something like picks 8 and 12 instead of 3 and 21.

I wonder if Carlton might be interested in getting pick 3 just to annoy the Crows?

My mail is really strong that the Suns will not trade any of Pick 1 & 2 and that both Rowell and Anderson want to be drafted together, great mates and more than happy to go to the Suns. The AFL see this as the Brisbane model and a way of genuinely keeping them together at the Suns.

So its pick 3 and we take the best skilled player availableย the one who is the best kick, probably Young from all reports. The next thing to look at is to see how we can get another top 10 pick.ย  And i genuinely think this will revolve around Brayshaw. he is currently our most expendable top end talent worthy of trade bait. I believe in the coming days we will hear this to be true and that Brayshawย will very much beย  on the table to the likes of Freo, and also St Kilda.

Is this year the latest "Super Draft".. That seems to happen every second year..ย ?

I agree, if we hadn't kept get screwed by the Maggots and the AFL making up new rules to implement in every game just for Max and Ollie we would be well entrenched into the Top Four and i would still complain about this rat infested competition.........

Thanks Demonland and Merry Xmas.

ย 

After we were gifted pick 3 for Chip I don't think we can complain about handouts to GC

So lets have a look at it. Last year we needed outside run and skills, we took an inside mid with our first selection.ย 

So this year it has to be the best skilled player available at pick 3. From what i read, Its Young. Can we trust our recruiting team to make the right decision because after last years drafting i am seriously skeptical.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubโ€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubโ€™s perspective, and the teamโ€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonโ€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed โ€” roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.ย  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
