Woo-hoo. Gold Coast are not given No.2 pick.

    Yeah, they were given pick one instead...

    Which means they now have 1 AND 2.

    I went too soon. Gerard Whately called it incorrectly. Boo-hoo.

    meh... the second round pick was going for Langdon. 

    I think giving them a mid first round pick next year is a bit of a joke given pre season hasn't even started yet. 

    After Martin goes they will be adding picks 1 & 2 plus another first rounder plus have the first two picks of the second round. 

    The will also be adding Ellis as a FA and have the likes of Rankine to come in and improve their list. 

    This team will rise up the ladder very quickly if they get their culture right this time around and it will be really awkward if the Suns finish 8-12 next year and are still granted another first round PP...

    It's the old schoolyard take backs. Given they traded that pick to Brisbane last year

    Just give them the lot #$*& you AFL

    We have been struggleing for decades and get zip, they have only had to suffer a few years.

    Why not give them s flag, a 5 goal head start in every match next year, any player the next 20 years

    You watch they will win a flag before us.

    So we get #3 instead of #2, when going into this year we thought we might get #16-18.

    Some people whinge over the smallest differences.

    That's easy to understand.  Our coaches have no [censored] idea how to play.

    FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    This is bull [censored].

    We stay on the bottom for years and get nothing they spend one year on the bottom and get a priority. The AFL choose favourites so why didn't they stop Lynch going to the Tigers and destroying them. WHAT A JOKE!

    The question has to be asked who is no3 in the draft?

  • Quote

    Depends on the team, Rowell is a safer option, but Anderson i think is more talanted. sadly Suns get both.

    Listening to SEN a short time ago on the drive home, I think it was Chris Pelchen on with the host and they were talking about Pick 2 and how the Hawks will make a play for it in order to nab Anderson. I only caught the chat half way through so I’m unsure if it’s just Pelchen’s suggestion or if there’s any substance to it.  

    Wouldn’t surprise at all if this did eventuate.

    I believe it was only given to them on the provision that they keep both picks and keep the two best friends together. That's what I'm hearing anyway

    Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere but someone mentioned there had been discussion in the media that Anderson was not a lock at 2 and might fall to us as GCS will nominate Green at 2 and GWS won't match.

    Has anyone else heard this?

    Magical if true.

    Going by the way the AFL sold the news of its draft concessions to the public (GCS taking two best mates from Victoria to limit the go home factor) I think it would be highly unlikely that the Suns would depart from the script of selecting Rowell and Anderson with 1/2.

    But how great would it be if they did?

    Every media report I’ve heard/read has stated that GC have already picked Rowell and Anderson. The AFL would not let GC not pick the two, picking two best mates was the excuse the AFL and GC “sold” to the public/media. Can you imagine how bad the AFL would look if GC changed their mind, the AFL will take away the rest of the concessions given to them in that instance.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
