2020 Draft and Trades Thread

[kreglze]

Wouldn't be surprised if we went after a delisted free agent taller forward to provide some cover if Day or King do go down with an injury.

Our key forward stocks are razor thin with Wright leaving, and we do need some experienced cover.

 

[Jen2310]

I can't say I have seen him play much apart from the academy games, butI didn't realize Nichols was a stand out. I'd have a couple ahead of him/ Clearly the club sees something that is useful. A halfback or wing seems he plays.
The article did imply that it would be AT LEAST 1 more academy. Probably a couple more if they include him.

Also still possibility of taking acedemy kids in rookie draft. Pick 5 plus 3 spots left.

QAFL Seniors Player Focus: Rhys Nicholls (Gold Coast SUNS Academy/Allies)

IN continuing our extended Player Focus series, we take a look at a prospect who stood out recently in the Queensland Australian Football League (QAFL) Seniors. This week, we put Gold Coast SUNS Academy prospect Rhys Nicholls under the microscope, as he returned to senior action for the Labrador...

[Jen2310]

Also still possibility of taking acedemy kids in rookie draft. Pick 5 plus 3 spots left.

Yeah, which probably is quite likely.

The cut off day was yesterday, strange nobody from the AFL has reported who has been nominated (NGA/FS/Academy)

 

[CommittedSuns]

The longer the wait the more I think the likes of Gore, Fyfe, Pescud have all missed spots. I still think Johnston is a strong option

 

[Jen2310]

what makes you think the wait has anything to do with it? But you're probably right. Maybe monday is when the annoucement will be.

 

[Jen2310]

Suns have interest in Townsend.

 

[Choppers]

Report: Premiership player set to sign with fourth AFL club

He's on the move again.

[Scotty_222]

Strange pick up..

 

[Ben Drever]

Strange pick up..

would of preferred one of the academy kids.
Atleast the kids will grow and mature and have a higher ceiling

Townsends been around.. at his peak and getting delisted..

[kreglze]

I would compare Townsend to Holman and say he is definitely an upgrade there.

Report: Premiership player set to sign with fourth AFL club

www.sen.com.au

With all this talk of list spots being so tight, this doesn’t make much sense to me. We have Holman and Macpherson for the defensive forward role and Ainsworth, Rankine, Sexton taking up the other small spots. Plus some of our midfielders will be spending time rotating forward to fit them all in you would think (Anderson,Rowell,Weller,Greenwood possibly). And then you have Farrar and Ace developing plus the likes of Gore and Pescud are available on rookie deals if we want them.

 

[Supersuns]

Weird pick-up

 

[Ben Drever]

Hollands has interviewed with a few clubs twice! Suns not one of them.

Still a few weeks out I guess

Elijah Hollands: "Crows holding cards close to their chest"

Draft prospect Elijah Hollands doesn't know what the Crows will do with pick 1

[Peel67skin]

Ok i prefer Thompson 5 years deal than Jacob Townsend

. Craig Cameron is losing it . I apologize for my whinging.

 

[kreglze]

Townsend is 187cm. A bit taller than your usual small forward, maybe they want to use him in another forward role?

 

[CommittedSuns]

Cal Twomney seems to think Nicholls is a more certain pre listed player than Lake and Fyfe at this stage

 

[Ben Drever]

Townsend is 187cm. A bit taller than your usual small forward, maybe they want to use him in another forward role?

might as well kept schoenfield just to drag everyone around in the running drills.
I don’t see Townsend replacing Ainsworth or Rankine or even sexton.

I’d even prefer to give game time to Flanders over Townsend

 

[Peel67skin]

GCS really is retirement fund village for players. Murdoch , Hombsch , miles , GHS .

 

[Jen2310]

Looks like out of the kids from last year, Budarick and Rosas have only been upgraded.

As much as i like Townsend news to be fake , gut feel said he already signed .

Townsend is an experienced backup and can only strengthen the VFL side - fail to really see the issue...

Looks like out of the kids from last year, Budarick and Rosas have only been upgraded.
