2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods

[The Kings Ransom]

You know adelaide will be front loading that contract too given the state of their list, He’ll be staring down the barrel of $1.2 mil plus next season.

The only thing I can say about our list management team is

- big offers from SA were always going to come.

I don’t know how much faffing about with negotiations took place over the past few months but If there was.. they missed the chance to have him sewn up long term.

 

[Scotty_222]

Apparently brisbane leading the race for buddy’s services. Interesting that his misses does want to come back and settle on the coast.

 

[Ben Drever]

Cameron’s wrecked this…
Bringing in Atkins and not cutting Fiorini last year…
Now we’re tight.. to tight.

Remember Coch was saying everyone is contacting us and wants in…

Let’s see how it pans out if we have zero cash to pay Rankine

 

[Cheifkeith95]

What’s our leverage here with ranks, if we don’t get what we want and just say no we are not trading you to Adelaide he just walks like Martin?

No chance that happens

I'd trade 4 in a heartbeat for Dunkley. He is exactly what we need.

Oh absolutely. I just want Busslinger as well given our need for a KPD and don’t think he will be there at 8.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

It's an odd move for them to expend that much money on another forward. They currently have Rowe, Rachele, McAdam, McHenry, Murphy and even Soligo all forwards or mid / forwards. They'd all be nervous looking at their spots which might cause some angst around the club. None are as good as Ranks though - possibly Rachele in time will be. Still that's a lot of little guys to find space for and I'd of thought a strong mid was more in their sights?

They all suck besides Rachele. Their whole forward line sucks

Walker obviously a gun.

But yes, that list was a steaming pile.

I put a post up about Ben King's ACL and how we are cursed and going to struggle to score this year, Sam Collins replied and said don't worry we'll find a way.

Damn he was right

FYI for anyone talking about Sheezel.

Big “go home” factor with him. Widely known in recruiting circles.

Scrimshaw 2.0

To be honest he doesn't play a position of need for us (Ainsworth, Hollands) so would be happy to pass on him.

Sugar.
One of my 2 or 3 favourite players to watch.
Someone was always likely to go from the 2018-2019 drafts, but this one hurts if true.

If it does happen, hopefully they go on another camp soon......

We need some goalkickers, Ainsworth goes at less than 50% and Hollands has started wing and hopefully transitions inside like Noah did

What a shame.

You've got to be kidding me

I'm hoping Wayne Campbell is doing the contracts now and not Craig Cameron

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Would make sense though if he received **** all for the front end. Averages out.

This is why I am most disappointed to lose Rankine.

I still have zero faith in Cameron and co. to not absolutely f*ck the situation even more. Every team loses players they want to keep, but the best teams manage to minimise the impact by making other shrewd moves.

If we come out of trade period with pick #4, #8, whatever Brisbanes first pick is, and a bunch of points for 2023 while losing Rankine, and Cameron stands up and says “well we have opened up our draft hand for next year and added a bit of financial flexibility”, while not actually improving the list, I’m gonna flip.

Rival interest at $600k!

At the same time you can't pay Rankine the same as what Touk is on, that's just a recipe for disaster with no salary cap integrity.
