Rowell or Anderson?

Yeah, they were given pick one instead...

Which means they now have 1 AND 2.

And our second rounder also gets pushed by them having beginning of 2nd round pp. Double shafting

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.

Yep, and fail to comprehend the big problem in the real scheme of things..............how the [censored] did we end up 2nd last on the ladder?

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?

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

Pelchen is full of it...

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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
