That would work. They'd have to take our first pick.

You do realise that we are likely to let Burgoyne (37y 8m) walk for nothing right? So in the scenario I proposed we would really just be offering Smith (30y 5m years old) to upgrade our 1st rounder from pick 8 to pick 2. We'd obviously then use the pick to select Noah Anderson. If Burgoyne agreed to any deal the Suns offer him then the only person you'd have to convince to go would be Smith who I'm sure with a bigger than market value offer would eventually relent.
This is obviously all in to relation to Burgoyne so I'll stop here because its already become hypothetical but you'd hope Wrighty would be getting somewhat creative.
Yep there would have to be a side deal there somewhere

Something just feels wrong about trading Burgoyne. But then I suppose the same could be said about Mitchell, Hodge and Lewis 
Agreed but just imagine having Anderson running around for the HFC for the next 10 years. Then after the Suns draft Matthew Rowell with pick 1 he can come play with his best mate Anderson in 3 years time.Something just feels wrong about trading Burgoyne.

Hope Silk does not accept the Suns deal! Gold Coast is just no place for a young family.

They may ask for Birchall as well mate. Evans loves him.
Nothing really but if that happens then we'd obviously then take Rowell. You'd think that would be something that would be discussed in the deal if it were to ever eventuate and would be a dick move if they did it.
As we all know any player going up there would have to want to go but yes I could definitely see them making for more than just Smith / pick 8 and a Burgoyne sweetener. The problem with asking for multiple players is 1) getting multiple players to agree to go 2) working them all into side deals.

Why would they be side deals?
Why not just say: e.g. Smitty + Birch + Burgoyne for XYZ Picks ??

I don't think the trading rules allow multiple players in trades like the NBA mate

Pretty sure they do.
Happens every year on hypothetical trading thread that we always suggest packaging 3x ordinary players for 1xx gun opposition player.
I've never heard before that multiple players can't be part of the same deal - will be very interested to hear the AFL's reasoning behind it if correct
Gold Coast don't need there first round pick, they need experience players, that means we can get there pick 1 for some of our players and maybe our pick 8 together to get Noah Anderson

If GC get a PP and are forced to trade it i can see a deal like Burgoyne, something else, pick 8 for pick 2 happening.
Id love Burgoyne to play 400 games.

Xavier has stacked it on bad
Proven fact, a Hawthorn player that has stacked on the kg's can be the difference maker when it matters

Good deal. But the reality is there is buckleys chance Smith would go to the Gold Coast. Like honestly, why the **** would you. Perhaps if they offered him something stupid, but surely even the Suns aren't stupid enough to do that for a 31 year old outside player that isn't really a generational leader?
Silk makes great sense for them in a role like Hodgey has at Brisbane. A culture builder of the highest order Silk.

You are our Burgoyne ITK - is the GC approach real enough to be of concern?

Benefits for GC
- Smith would make Suns less hopeless
- Keep the change rooms bright when things are rough.
- Suns would give that money to him to fill the cap so when he leaves they can use it another player instead of giving younger players stupid money.
Not saying they would but just possible reasons.

Sure. But I was saying Buckleys chance Smith agrees to go dude. A very important part of this hypothetical.
