2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods

[Emerald Sun]

Feel for Jez, he was going to make his AFL debut when he injured his ankle(?)
Never got another chance. Nice young fella

 

[Jirik13]

It will be interesting to see who will play in VFL if our list is be reduced. VFL only players could be needed. All those 4 would be good candidates.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Jez the only one who might surprise if he can get some good games in SANFL, VFL etc.

Yeah, he’s pretty measured.
I think he did look better as the years went on but the intercept marking trait was never going to work at his height.

Jez, Conroy, Murtagh and Nichols were all likely candidates, unfortunately.

Club must have some indication of list sizes if that is all we are cutting.

Well if we are going to go back to normal list size then we are at 45 players now. That’s the normal list size of the other teams.

38 listed players currently, 6 Cat A rookies and 1 Cat B rookie.

So at a minimum there is at least 3 listed players to be moved on… Rankine we know about. I would expect Markov, Corbett, Burgess, Constable could be traded or delisted to allow our 3 National draft picks.

The more I think about it I reckon we might only take 2 picks and upgrade Moyle from the rookie list.

Really depends on who we want to trade out. Let’s say Fiorini does go (as per the murmurs) then that’s another spot potentially.

I would personally keep Burgess, Constable and even Markov if they are happy to play on. All have AFL experience and are older bodies.

But it also depends on who we might trade in. 1-2 players suddenly means more trades or delistings are needed. We’ll just have to wait a week for AFL to decide what we get list wise.

6 cat A, 2 Cat B it is for other clubs.

I believe, you don't have to know the list size for this initial cut.

If you might permit me to correct you.

Normal list size is 42 split across main list + Cat A rookie. 36-38 main, + 4-6 Cat A rookie. (i.e. 36 + 6, 37 + 5 or 38 + 4) Separate to that, up to 2 Cat B rookie. So, at those figures, you'd be 2 oversize to start with.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

I hope West Coast stay down the bottom for quite a while.

Rioli leaving will hurt them on field.
He is a decent player. Probably in their top 10.

That’s okay I guess I could be wrong…

Just so your aware GWS had 44 players on there list this season. 37 main, 6 Cat A and 1 Cat B. I mean I ain’t a mathematician but I’m sure that’s more than 42 players.

So GWS must have some form of list concessions similar to us to have 2 extra list spots

 

[GCSportsBuzz]

I believe we’ll need to trade out a couple of others for list space, add trade capital and cap space. Fiorini, Flanders and Corbett would be worth trading out. Let them play some more in the 1’s, relieve around $1.3M of cap space. Might get 2 x 2nd rounders back for them.

Has some trade capital at the moment. Doesn’t impact AFL games yet, not in best 22, on a big salary. Ned to strike when you can.

I think I know the site where you got that from, but it's actually incorrect.

GWS currently has 36 + 7 + 2, but started the year with 36 + 6 + 2. The extra Cat A rookie was Wade Derksen, picked up in the MSD. The 2 Cat B rookies are not inside the 42 list size.

Anyway, I'll leave it there. Never wanted to raise any hackles, just saw some incorrect info I thought I could quickly fix.

Just turned 21
Best player in VFL Finals.

What exactly is his salary??

 

[TheSunGod]

Rankine out
Henry in.

Talent there no doubt.

So they don’t want him and he’s lazy but expect a pick 25-30. Geez Freo are an absolute bunch of campaigners come trade time.

 

[Southern Sun]

Sharp and corbett>< henry??

 

[Emerald Sun]

I'd prefer that we didn't give Sharp away for nothing.
Still contracted for another year and would think he can improve with another year under his belt

 

[Young_Guns]

There’s no reason to trade either Sharp or Flanders unless they absolutely demand out. Both 21, contracted, not on too much money, and Sharp showed he can play at AFL level in year 2 before this year happened, while Flanders has had a very strong VFL finals series.

It’s not like we are desperate to clear list spots and we have Rankines 650k sitting there, and it’s not like we are bringing in anyone of note to cut into that.

I actually don't hate him but I'm alone on this I think. Big kick, hard as a cats head and plenty development left. If he played every game like his last one he'd be a jet.

 

[kreglze]

Have to back in the recruitment team after Chol and Casboult ended up being astute selections. But hardly worth getting excited over.
