I'd be looking at him regardless of the Koz situation. 

Would also be very interested in Alex Davies.

 

I'd be looking at Malcolm Rosas even with Kozzie (he better [censored] be staying) still with us, the ball comes out way too easily once it hits the deck. Gotta get more pressure on the ball.

Let’s get him!

More due diligence required in my view. We must be super super diligent in adding anyone.  I like his goal sense and pace but there must be a reason that the Suns terminated his contract with a year still to run. 
Why are they letting him go ???? 

 

Rosas, originally from Darwin, was the first player to be signed by the Suns through their Darwin talent zone. He made his AFL debut in 2021 and quickly became known for his speed and goal-scoring ability. Over the years, Rosas became an integral part of the Suns’ forward line, playing 33 games and scoring 33 goals during his time with the club.

The decision to release Rosas is surprising given his recent contract extension and the significant contributions he made to the team. His departure leaves a noticeable gap in the Suns’ forward line as they look towards the future.

Rosas’ release raises questions about the Suns’ strategy moving forward and how they plan to fill the void left by his departure. The reasons behind the decision have not been publicly disclosed, but it marks a significant change for both Rosas and the Gold Coast Suns.

Where is this from?

The Suns have told him he is able to leave if he finds a suitor. They would just delist him if it was other issues.

They must have another player in mid that they would like to target and feel as if he won't get a game in 2025.


No idea why they would be shipping him out so soon.

If available I'd definitely be having a look, he's your classic small forward with blistering speed on the outside and very good defensive pressure. Different to Nibbler of course but could go a way to filling that particular void.

I thought it was pretty clear they have marked his role for Leo Lombard as he will probably go straight into their 22. Being asked to explore a trade, instead of being retained as depth is concerning though. 

Could free up Kosi to play more midfield time, which is a win win

Would definitely be interested if he's a good cultural fit 

There has to be some smoke here, every club needs this type of player, you don’t let one walk with no proper reason.

Definitely.

And I can see Rosas pushing up to a wing with that speed and outside game, could add a new dimension.

Must be salary cap related, it always is with the Suns.

Agree he has PACE, SKILL, GOALKICKING … he’s impressed in some games 

but there must be a query over whether he has the ?DETERMINATION and ?DEDICATION to be a regular AFL player 

a lot of due diligence needed 

I’d prefer Parfitt if we are after this half forward type

This Lombard kid must be a jet if they are happy for Mally to leave

Always liked Rosas but the fact that Dimma doesn’t want him probably says it all. 

Dimma didn't want Mabior Chol. He's gone alright since parting company with Hardwick. Twice.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
