Ah Chee to Brisbane is done, the offer is significantly better than what we were doing, he is a DEW fan so not leaving on bad terms just Brisbane throwing a lot more at him than we did.

i also was told that Martin was set to leave for quite a while which is not surprising but is a fact

If it’s common knowledge Cals getting more years and a lot more coin.
I want the Lions pick 35

Johnny Bananas has been a legend on the Sun's PP thread so happy for him to say whatever he wants here as he has a genuine understanding of what we need as club to make it work.
It’s funny reading the Draft and Trade pages. Often seems like there are more Brisbane posters standing up for the Suns, than there are Suns posters at times.

Yes and no, I'm probably less clever than I think I am. For example, I was reflecting that last year I probably wouldn't have drafted Ben King due to flight risk, but he looks like a ridiculous steal right now, great move by the Suns. It's not hard to go to bat for what's right, and those foolish Victorians and Adelaidians are somehow even more ignorant about the Suns and the Gold Coast in general than they were about the Lions until recently. I swear those pompous fools think their clubs are God's gift to the universe.

At the end of the day it's your forum, and myself and the other Brisbanites are all guests here, I don't want to step on any toes. I think Bods has a point and I can understand some of the resentment, every fanbase has its fair share of idiots but the Broncos fans seem especially obnoxious. And I can see how that disgust would carry over to the Lions when you're potentially losing a player to us while we're riding high, after many defections in the past. If it were the Lions in your place I'd be annoyed too.

Anyway, back to Suns recruitment. I figured last year with the drafting of Lukosius, Rankine and McLennan that the Suns could be positioning themselves as a sort of third SA club, but with better weather and no Adelaide media frenzy. I wonder if Betts and Burgoyne are continuing the same idea, both SA legends (and NT too for Burgoyne as has been pointed out). It'd be a good counterpart to Brisbane's Vic Country recruitment strategy.

I'd take that deal. In fact I'd throw in pick 42 in addition. That package can get you a decent veteran, perhaps from the players that Port are deferring payments to. I imagine the final compensation to be around that mark somewhere, although Bods and a few others disagree. It'll be fun to see how it all works out!

Please be a joke..
Unfortunately not for you guys. I personally don't see what he can add but Gold Coast is the only AFL club to show interest in him since his delisting.

Currently deciding between Gold Coast or VFL as his girlfriend would prefer to stay in Melbourne.

Edit: I should note he is a terrific bloke and an excellent trainer so he could be a good pickup just for cultural purposes and to help your younger players adjust to AFL
 
Why, is there a law somewhere saying they can't? If so, there'd be no condition whatsoever for a PSD to ever happen, but actually there is.


Prestia had other suitors willing to pay a similar price if Richmond wouldn't strike a deal. Cameron was contracted. Adelaide held the whip hand because if no deal was struck they'd retain him. Gold Coast don't have that advantage, they don't necessarily keep Ah Chee next year if Brisbane walks away. Will there be other clubs willing to cough up their first or a recent high draft pick for Ah Chee? Will Ah Chee accept Gold Coast's offer? We'll see.


I didn't know our only choices were either giving up or being extorted. But if that does end up being the choice Gold Coast gives Brisbane, I'll gladly support giving up.

And you were probably one of the lions upporters who was thinking that if the crows didnt agree to your 2nd rounder then you could get Cameron for a PSD selection. Fact remains that if you chase a player and convince him to leave his club you are expected to get that deal done and if that means overs then it will be that.

Prestia had no other suitors and he had made his decision to come to richmond and richmond had to get that deal done and paid overs , Your choices are not being extorted but your choice by going after another clubs required player is to pay a fair price.

Happy for this deal 35,42 , not pick 52. I apologise for my rudeness earlier. .

I think pick 35 and 42 for ah chee are pretty fair.

You really are an easy sell arn't you !! pick #19 or GTFO

The kid is a talented top 10 pick which Brisbane has seen fit to offer 4 years at good coin and has 10 years ahead of him
also this is a pretty weak draft where #19 is probably last years pick #35+

Quick, what's my favourite colour? Since you seem to think you can read my mind.

Fact, is it? Is there a bylaw in the AFLs rules stating that? How much overs? Are Brisbane still obligated to get a deal done if the Suns demand Neale and Cameron?

If you say so. I seem to recall Carlton and Melbourne making serious approaches.

Your choices are not being extorted but your choice by going after another clubs required player is to pay a fair price.
And who is the arbiter of a "fair price"? You? If the "fair price" in club A's eyes is considered grossly overvalued in club B's eyes, and club A is apparently obligated to strike a deal on club B's terms, how is that not extortion?

You obviously haven’t seen our recruitment team at there best.

Scrimshaw top 10 pick
Given to the hawks for some chopsticks

We either roll over easy..
or get all creative and package a first and a couple second Rd picks together for a future pick to move up 3 spots

I’d happily take 35 just so i know we don’t get laughed at
