2020 Draft and Trades Thread

[Peel67skin]

No issue is the issue , look at GCS reserve who played with Murdoch , GHS, hombsch , they all get delisted . .

 

[kreglze]

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

Townsend will be purely depth, at the bottom of the list, is twice the player Schoenfeld is, as well as being a premiership player.

Will be great to have a premiership player training and playing with the 2's, along with the likes of Harbrow, will be a great leader to a very young 2's team.

This is all contingent what is reported is actually true.

 

[Peel67skin]

Isn't it GHS , hombsch , Murdoch , Henley , Riztelli great leader. Who GCS produce that match marshall , Callum Wilkins , Liam Ryan

, Graham are also premiership players that went pass Townsend .

Every single year GCS new leader to guide them in reserve and yet every year GCS delisted or trade young players away. Where is the guidance and leadership .
Graham played AFL ,
Might as well ask Lukosius to guide the youngster in kicking , Rowell and Anderson ( leadership) , Rankine ( showmanship)

Unfortunately Suns list has been stuffed for years. Until we have a clear indication of our best 22 and great training/performance/conditioning programs which has been and issue in prior years we kinda have to rely on those fringe players from stronger clubs. I’m almost certain we are almost pass it with a good core of young players.

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Reasoning good training standards is like nail polish on a turd

[Ben Drever]

Must be the only club in the AFL who trades in players each year to play reserves.

Essendon is not a stronger club . If he choose GCS rather than Essendon after Richmond delisted him i got nothing to said. Eg Markov and Brandon Ellis

. Is good to have player want to play if for you in the first place , not the other way .

Delisted by Richmond and Essendon .
Good training stardard = how to get delisted two times and yet get pick up by GCS .

I think it’s a stupid pick up personally and a waste of a list spot but he obviously brings leadership and training experience to our young group otherwise we wouldn’t be picking him up

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

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

Any idea how tall Nicholls is?
If he can be a true tall defender I don’t mind it. If he’s mid sized.. not so sure how I feel about that.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

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

Opportunity cost.
Him taking a spot means we don’t get to see what Brodie lake or max pescud could do.
These guys might not make it, but they’ve got a decent ceiling.

2020 AFL Draft Preview: Gold Coast Suns

Gold Coast Suns have plenty of decisions to make in this year's AFL Draft with a raft of Academy options alongside a Top 5 selection.

Is the intercept and rebound defender the game’s most important player?

There’s a new trend emerging.

One extra cm according to draftcentral - 187cm, 77kg. Does it make you feel better?

Tried to hurt his opponent. SUNS need more players like him.

I think i better stop now , no point going further - decision already made , worse case scenario - Dew and Craig Cameron lost their job if GCS perform badly .

 

[Peel67skin]

Ruckmen Nicholls out , another Nicholls coming in .Make sure this one go to US for holiday every year .

 

[NOBBYS]

If Townsend gets game with Suns then we have not improved at all.
Like most do not see the logic.
Middle size slow players we do not need.
We require depth in senior team not reserves.

 

[Sunny_]

Suspect Townsend there for backup in case Day or King break down. We have no mature forwards really outside of those guys.

Thats why we have the extended list. Not to just load up on more kids.

 

[Jirik13]

Cal Twomey

Gold Coast pre-selections have to be confirmed by next week I believe. Davies and Jeffrey will join as primary-listed players, and I expect at least one more Academy player to be a rookie, likely to be Rhys Nicholls. Brodie Lake and Aiden Fyfe are others potentially.

Gold Coast will ship out its pick 27 for a future pick

 

[Jirik13]

Suspect Townsend there for backup in case Day or King break down.

Townsend is 187cm.

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

I saw nicholls take a lot of intercepts marks when I watched. Thought he was a taller
Defender

 

[Mt Isa Mustang]

Townsend is 187cm.

Effectively played as an undersized tall for Essendon this year

 

[Supersuns]

Townsend is 187cm.

He plays a tall forward, pretty good contested mark and attacks contests but is a bit slow and suspect once the ball is on the deck

 

[kreglze]

Played 12 senior games of AFL this year as well. Not like we are bringing in a bloke who hasn't had any experience at the top level in 2020. Good experienced depth for the team, would cost us very little cap.
