2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods

[SUNS]

Definitely. So far only Long. Besides Rankine, if Bowes, Fiorini, Corbett and potentially Sharp leave, surely a couple got to come in or we front load current contracts as part of extension (Rowell, Anderson hopefully). Still no contract news on Burgess, Markov. Although a lot of players is entering 3rd, 4th or 5th year increased contracts - Rowell, Anderson, King, Sharp, Hollands, Luko, Jeffrey.

In 2023 - Sexton, Day, Thompson all of the book.

Interesting times.

We do have another big named player lined up which i'm sure IF we land it will brighten a few fans days.

But Bowes. Man, he was a leader, he loved this club and bled for it. He made many a sacrifice for the team. The disrespect shown to him this year has been pretty unprecedented. In saying that the coin he is on, if wha tis being reported here is true, is pretty big. I have no doubt he will get to that worth. But he isn't there yet

 

[SUNS]

King and Luko signing are ticks no doubt, I hate to think what we are paying them though

If Rowell and or Noah don’t re-sign however I think you would have to view it differently. Personally I think the “culture” change is debatable

As an aside Have a look at the resigning and trade requests to the Roos in the last couple of weeks

With King I think there is a significant ambassador allowance being afforded to him. But i'm concerned with what we offered Luko.

Anyone who follows American sports would know that the concept of a 'salary dump' is often used by teams when they are gearing up to land a big free agent/trade in a big name player e.g. look at the moves the Cleveland Cavaliers made in 2013/14 to completely clear their cap in anticipation of LeBron James returning through free agency as well as landing Kevin Love through a trade.

Gold Coast poised to launch pre-emptive strike on salary cap with trade activity

Sam Edmund has the details.

Sam Edumund's description of making a play for an established player "in the near future" isn't overly specific but obviously could mean this year's free agency/trade period...

Im fine with salary dumps.

it’s actually genius what we’re doing actually getting rid of these big contracts so we can land Max King, Harry McKay & LDU.

Absolute masterclass

4D chess here

Brodies, 2MP, lyons and Scrimshaws We would all be clapping our hand together if they were coming to us as free agents on long term deals

Please, I don't want to clap Respectfully, clap for yourself.

In saying that the coin he is on, if wha tis being reported here is true, is pretty big. I have no doubt he will get to that worth. But he isn't there yet

What disrespect? As much as I like Bowes he was not up to it this year when he got opportunity.

please be right as I’m at the end of my rope. I need something that shows competency, not professionalism as I know that’s too much to ask for, just competency

 

[Iva Bigun]

If the numbers mentioned here are even remotely correct, it’s no wonder that Rankine thought he deserved more, in fact, you would have to suggest he does. God as long-term suffering, fans we are deserve much better than what this club has dished up.

 

[Emerald Sun]

Scrimshaw Saga was before my Bigfooty times

I’ve heard Tales bout it over the years, any old threads I can read thru? Surely his old man’s comments would be there still

I used to lurk for a while and only joined up this year but remember him backing Jack at every turn.
From memory he used to put up footage of him as a young player to justify what he was saying

If Rowell and or Noah don’t re-sign however I think you would have to view it differently. Personally I think the “culture” change is debatable, certainly not set in concrete

As an aside Have a look at the re-signing and trade requests to the Roos in the last couple of weeks

If you don't think our culture is the best it's ever been then I'm sorry you just can't see anything.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

End of the day

Only 22 can play each game, the other 27 miss out and play reserve football if they aren’t injured.

Can not please everyone, especially when Witt’s Rowell Anderson Miller miss 1 game combined, insane stat. Pretty sure it was only Noah being sick.

 

[exile]

all salary reports are inflated a bit i reckon, and to me some seem a bit like reporters just having a stab in the dark.

people love talking about salaries since they're not public. so many figures get thrown around with a wide range, it's not even worth discussing it haha

Also the Roos? Really?
Logue is an okish defender who they are definitely over paying and Tucker is shit. Getting Chol to come here last season is better than anything the Roos have done.

are we back to guessing players with long names again?
James Rowbottom reuniting with Charlie?

According to Herald speculations (if you want to believe them), new contracts Ben King 700-750K, Luko 600-650K.

did you miss the news that we re-signed Caleb Graham for 4-years….

Just kidding, I hope he becomes the player the club seems to think he can be. I don’t know if I want to see the numbers on that contract though.

Marcus Bontempelli
Hugh McCluggage
Luke Davies-Uniacke

We’re about to feast

 

[Iva Bigun]

I see plenty, I am reserving judgment as to whether is it a true change or lip service

This time next year will be a watershed moment

 

[SUNS]

More when he was approached about the prospect of this happening. Was much earlier in the season.

Guess that's why he was banished to the VFL.

 

[Southern Sun]

Could explain sharps absence at the end of the year

 

[Deleted member 2402071]

Yep, we not overly subtle about who we are pushing out.

Any hints on potential big name?

Any hints on potential big name?

Saw something a couple of days ago resurface again regarding Dusty but that can’t be it I highly doubt we would be going there.

 

[The Kings Ransom]

Sam Edmund stepping out what we're talking about


"Suns have forensically planned a pre emotive overhaul of their pay structure"





He's also suggesting we will be giving some of our picks along with these traded players.

Completely defeats the purpose of straightening out the cap.
