[Supersuns]

Great trade. Points for next season helpful.
Not a huge fan of Long but I also hated the Chol deal.
Welcome to the Suns Ben.

[Supersuns]

That GWS 2nd could legit be pick 19-22 next season.
Happy with that

 

[Gorringe Can Suck One]

Our trade period is probably done now in terms of bringing IN players. I could see us get a few more futures for Fiorini and Corbett. Let’s hope Sharp stays

Worst draft hand Suns ever had.

If the Suns take current highest
Picks 7 45 and 46 to the draft for the minimal 3 draftees

Once Rankine deal done.. would expect Suns to split pick 5 for a pick 10 and 15 or alike

has re-committed to the Gold Coast Suns for two more years after attracting interest from rival clubs following a dominant season in the VFL.

The 26-year-old was starved of opportunity in 2022, managing only two senior appearances after playing 19 games last year.

But after kicking 63 goals in the VFL to win the Jim 'Frosty' Miller Medal and earn selection at full forward in the team of the year, Burgess landed on the radar of several clubs, including Adelaide and St Kilda.

The South Australian has decided to remain at Metricon Stadium and fight for a spot in Stuart Dew

is potentially the worst player in the competition who gets a regular game along with Turner and Jack Mahoney.

Just wait till you see him.

The biggest dumbass who gives a free kick away almost every time he lays a tackle and can't ever hit a target when kicking inside 50.

If the 4 year contract is true then you'll have to shoot me.

 

[Scotty_222]

32 not bad for long. I don’t mind him as a player, love the toughness

Revealed: Three-way mega-deal that can get JHF home, give Kangaroos picks 1 and 2

Huge if true.

Roos picks 1 and pick 2

Would really throw the top 10 onto chaos

Nah keep 5, just take the best talent there. Not risking missing out on who we want.

This deal would have been a good chance to slide pick 5 to pick 8 and some points for next year.

 

[Supersuns]

This deal would have been a good chance to slide pick 5 to pick 8 and some points for next year.

Last time we slide a pick down to get a future draft pick in, we missed out on Clayton Oliver.
Just take 5 to the draft and take who we want, reach or not.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Last time we slide a pick down to get a future draft pick in, we missed out on Clayton Oliver.
Just take 5 to the draft and take who we want, reach or not.

Doesn't bother me. I hope we take Olly Hollands.

You just come back and help with the melting over reaching for him at 5 ok?

 

[Ben Drever]

Last time we slide a pick down to get a future draft pick in, we missed out on Clayton Oliver.
Just take 5 to the draft and take who we want, reach or not.

So who we taking at 5?

Hollands is rated approx 10

The next pick is mid 40s hence why best to split the pick

Almost unheard of for the Suns recruiting team looking so far down the draft board

 

[Supersuns]

So who we taking at 5?

The next pick is mid 40s hence why best to split the pick

Cam Mackenzie would be my pick, but there is plenty who can fill a role, Busslinger as a KPD, Humphrey could play as a small forward and role into the midfield, Phillipou is a good forward/mid as well, great speed and upside. All 4 would make great additions to the team.

 

[TheSunGod]

So does this put Ollie Hollands out of our range? Is pick 5 (6) too high a reach?

 

[RowellAnderson12]

If Bowes, Fiorini, Rankine all are leaving this year and their salaries aren't on our 2023 books, would that not mean we have approx. $2mil to pay someone/s, and/or are we going under 95%

With Thompson, Sexton & Macpherson's $1.2mil? also coming off we should have a fair crack at 2-3 players in 2024 You'd think

Of course after giving some players pay rises.

 

[CommittedSuns]

I reckon you will find we will promote Ned Moyle from the rookie list so we will only take 2 live picks.

A lot more to play out… Bowes, Rankine, Corbett and potentially Sharp and Fiorini.

 

[Ben Drever]

So does this put Ollie Hollands out of our range? Is pick 5 (6) too high a reach?

Is slightly high.. but if that’s what pick we hold.

I can see why GC would want to get the last of the hollands boys.

But if u could get him at 10 and another player 15-20 range.. as well

Be best to split the pick up

Getting the best 22 on the park and winning is the goal..

 

[DCSuns]

If Bowes, Fiorini, Rankine all are leaving this year and their salaries aren't on our 2023 books, would that not mean we have approx. $2mil to pay someone/s, and/or are we going under 95%

Of course after giving some players pay rises.

I’d say they’d look to re sign rowell and Anderson and front load their contracts to hit the cap floor this year. Then in future years, as you mention, when those two are on a bit less and they other three you said come off contract suns use the space to target more guns.

 

[Cheifkeith95]

Think long could be a sleeper like chol
He loses he’s head a bit but we need that kind of tough nut flying the flag energy
Really keen on Tom berry

Pay Rowell and nosey 800k + next year and spread the rest out over a further 4-5 years equals to about 650k

Didn’t know moyle was on the rookie list, really like him as Witt’s successor
