Or are you Jack Hudson?

My secret shame

 

[Next Gen Rookie]

how many spots to Gold Coast have on their list to fill?

the reason I ask is, if GC needed to feel 8 spots via the draft, could they look at how they best get more picks and a greater spread of picks within the top 20-21 picks?

Right now, 2 spots. But they could lose May & KK.
And they have a couple OOC (Lonergan, Leslie, Wigg)

Like us, they are probably working out the picks first, then getting the list space.

For us with Twitter challenged computers can that tweet be copy and pasted?

Someone claiming Crows have agreed in principle to move into top 4 of draft but afl wants them to wait til draft night

 

[phill5158]

No we've been very transparent that Luko is the one we really want. Rankine/Rozee/Hately are more if they're next on our depth chart.

We'd probably know Luko better then most clubs seeing he trained with us last preseason as well.

I just get worried about taking kpf with first picks because look at the history of past players, if we did pull of getting Luko, would he have a slow development or would he be a regular quickly.

Can someone tell why steve may is considered to be worth a top 5 pick,what has he really done to be worth that?

 

[Runnin Blue]

Kornes reckons Port getting pick 5.

 

[LoBu]

If clubs can trade a player out and still pay their contract (plenty of examples), then can we trade in a player and payback some of their contract? Could we trade Himmelberg (GWS) in, and pay GWS his last years' wage? They can use the money to keep Shiel.

or

Shiel > Carlton (pick 1) > Adl pick 8 & 16>GWS

Someone on here has lost someone close to them... I'm sensing the letter J... or D.

port into #5. rankine is theirs probably

 

[Runnin Blue]

I don’t see what is in it for Brisbane. Weird.

 

[Bearded Clam]

We want him more, in fact we probably want Rozee more than Rankine.

If thats the case.. then were ****in stupid imo..

We have a good chance next year to push top 4 again with a squad that, if it can stay uninjured, that is packed with the talent to do it and a soft draw in our favour. We could easily see us bounce back..

Out of luko, Rankine, Rozee, Smith, Hately i only see one player that can really come in and have an immediate impact for us... one player that will play from round 1 next year and have an influence on our game and only one player that fills a void we have. The xfactor we need and thats Izak Rankine.

The others will be unbelievable players, and will probably turn out being just as valuable as rankine some maybe even more valuable, but we have immediate needs if we are going to use sloane, gibbs, talia, tex, JJ, Lynch and Betts in one final push for a shot at first prize.

We need that xfactor that can swing a game and change the moment of the game in our favour.. its what weve been missing. Were a team of top class, solid players but we havent got that one “robbie grey”, “rioli”, “mcloud” type.

Exactly, very overrated on value and I recall he is always getting suspended and injured. Never been a big fan tbh.

They trade down one spot and pick up #35 (while trading a homesick Mayes for a future 3rd)

 

[GameofSloanes]

Port got pick 5 & 15, Mayes & Burton for pick 6 & Wingard. Great trade for them

100% agree.

No idea.. But why would mfc want to pay 5 for a defender? Who knows ... They paid 2 firsts for a defender last year

 

[Crouch#44]

How does Shiel get to bombers?

 

[FR0GGY]

He had Jeremy McGovern in Adelaide looking at houses too if I recall correctly.

Might have been seeing how many houses per year he could buy here.

 

[Scorpus]

Why do Port get 15, 5 AND Burton? For Whingard? He's good, but he's not that good.

They're giving up pick 6

 

[xazos79]

Hombshchchc too.

EDIT: apparently not.
