Only if he changes his name to something that is not Kamdyn.

Love Frost, he's an excitement machine who never stops trying and I hope he becomes a 150+ game clubman.

With Pruess developing nicely, his ruck craft is good and he will build his tank and forward craft into next season, and Gawn becoming more versatile up forward/back etc, I'd rather we stick with TMac and Weid as our key forwards and have the flexibility to swing May forward. To bring in Casboult would mean Preuss plays VFL unless there are injuries. We desperately need pace on the wing and small forward/s who can bring pressure at ground level and kick goals. A no for me.

SWYL I agree they need mature players which is why I think picks 1 and 2 provide good currency to trade with. They could potentially turn those two pics into 3-4 A grade players that could provide some leadership. Older sides like Hawthorn, Adelaide, West Coast and Collingwood for example would consider moving on a 24-26 year old or two to get some young talent in and relieve salary cap pressure.

Harmes has played back a fair bit for the past month or so and looks good, he's a really versatile mid. I reckon all of our mids need to be more flexible, e.g. Brayshaw on the wing, Oliver full forward, Harmes anywhere, Viney back and half forward, Salem half back and mid, Trac forward/mid. It's easy to forget that we have a fairly young midfield group and since the bye they are being challenged to play different roles.

Who cares, we made a prelim last year, dramatically underperformed this year, and if we get our act together next year have the foundation to challenge for the next 5+ years. Compare us to GCS, they have lost pretty much all of their best senior players for the past 4 or so years and this year performed as well as could be expected.

What's with the poor me victim. Mentality on here. The GCS need all the help hey can get and picks 1 & 2 will give them some real currency to trade in some senior leadership which they desperately need. I think the AFLmis doing the right thing by providing GCS picks 1 and 2 and if the difference between pick 2 and 3 is going to hurt us then our problems are much bigger than many think they are.

I'm with ugottobekiddong on this one. Supporters whingeing that we are hard done by impacts how our club is viewed within the broader AFL community. Stop being naffs and playing the victim and start looking at what we can do.

A poor mans Charlie Spargo - pass

Thanks, that makes sense. I wasn't too sure and embellished a bit to make point. A found memory of Junior in one of his last games for us was when he shirt-front tackled Boomer Harvey who tried to fend and was caught holding the ball.

Malthouse also has Richo covered when it comes to 'throwing his toys out when he doesn't get his way'. I see Richo as a highly experienced footy person who can support Goodwin through his experience as well as help in developing our younger players. I think Richo is exactly the sort of person we need.

Junior had a year off and then was picked up by GWS and played another two seasons. When retired was still one of our best and very durable. Hardly cooked.

In addition to the above we would then watch Jones running around in a Gold Coast guernsey for the next two to three years as an elite half forward.

If you we're a fish you would be flounder

And thats with go home factor. Josh Mahoney would laugh in CP5's managers face if he said that Patty has offered to take CP5 fishing in Moggs Creek and while he's nether been there it sounds pretty cool.

I heard that the so called leader is Max Gawn, the younger players is upset that he's stealing their votes for the BnF.

Brad Hill wants to live in Vic. Hogan did the right thing by us by staying when his dad was sick and the decision to return home was a personal one, we facilitated the trade because it was the right thibg to do. Steven May spent 8 years at a club that was about to embark on a third rebuild, he left for a fresh start. I cannot see a possible good reason for Trac to want to leave this year that would motivate the club to even entertain a trade.

Lord - He's a contracted player who did not grow up in Moggs creek. I think people on here are overreacting to even think there is a possibility that Trac won't be playing for us next year.

Admin, can we merge this with the 'Get Izzy Falou' thread?

There is absolutely zero chance we would trade Trac. He's been super consistent this year and with a strong off/preseason will start to win games off his own boot. That he wants to play more midfield is a real positive as it will drive him to work hard in the offseason and have a big preseason.

Whether Garlett is on our list will come down to whether he can apply forward pressure. With his shoulder injury this year its unfair to use this year as the sample.

BBO, like two bulls in a paddock it doesnt always work

Earl Hood, while I appreciate we're bottom two and only won 5 games I doubt we will turnover 10 players. We have four retirements - Lewis, T Smith, Maynard and Keilty, maybe one to two traded and probably a couple delisted. I can't see more than 7-8 changes. I also don't think our situation is anywhere near as dark as when Roos walked in and expect we will bounce back quickly next year. Whether that means we are at the pointy end or battling for a position in the 8 will com down to how well we address the issues from this season but I cannot see another bottom 4-6 finish.

Suspect he will end up at St Kilda, would fit right in.

I'm ok with 3 on the basis that if he starts to slow down he plays VFL and transitions into a development coaching role. Suspect $ and ability to play AFL for 3 years may lure him to the Gold Coast.
