2023/2024 Gold Coast Draft & Trade periods

[Jen2310]

I doubt we take two top 10 picks this year, doesn't seem the year to load up on high picks.

Like The Kings Ransom said above. Swap firsts with someone like St Kilda and use that on Hollands plus gain more points for next year.

That's definitely an idea. Should absolutely be trying to get him.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Really? Tsatas would be my first pick, we have enough of the contested defensive types on our list, that explosive pace and skills on the outside is something we seriously lack.

Agree we need that X factor, wouldn’t be upset picking him.

The game plan is around two way midfield runners, will be up to him to work hard both ways or else he’ll end up like Sharp in the VFL.

He is so much explosive and dangerous than Sharp. He would be best 22 round 1 next year

 

[lommy]

Sheezel screams flight risk, not worth bothering with. Cadman a waste as you say.

We have to keep backing ourselves in, especially if we start playing finals like we are all expecting to. I would go with Sheezel 100%

Hope so mate, that’s why I’m a fan of Humphrey.

Need X factor

 

[Southern Sun]

Would love tsatas but pretty confident he'll be in the top 4/5. I'm on board with others that Saints pick 9 makes sense. Get the feeling they would be keen on mckenzie. Port at 9 maybe too as 5 may help with JHF. Still a fair bit to play out as in who has what picks though with some big trades that may change the order a bit. Just get the feeling we are committed to hollands.

 

[OB11]

If a future 3rd is being offered tell Cats that we can split 7 and give them a lower 1st Rd pick and get ourselves a future 2nd Rd pick if it's all too hard for them.

 

[Gorringe Can Suck One]

Miller, Anderson, Rowell, E. Hollands, O. Hollands. that’s some midfield synergy right there

Mackenzie is another id be stoked with. Full of class

I am , we have been decimated more than u guys . What I am saying is the current system ain't working , it's still very much the VFL. Why do you think the last game before a draft is always a Vic Country v Vic Metro game (to increase the number of Vic kids drafted) .We both lose 4 or 5 good players each year and then Collingwood and Melbourne make huge noises when they.lose a Henry or Jackson

So why can't essendon or north win a flag? I was embarrassed enough taking the last lot of hand outs, let alone ask for extra salary cap. At some point you have to say enough and get to work. You guys got to a grand final, you were given every chance and you blew it, why should you have a higher salary than the other 16 clubs?

During covid, South Australia had an interstate game before the draft, there's nothing stopping them doing it again, it's not some big vfl conspiracy

 

[sunsofanarchy]

Cadman doesn't make sense at all, Sheezel is supposedly a large flight risk. Tsatas would be the dream to slide. Elijahs on each wing sign me the * up

Tsatas would be amazing

Yeah we made some big mistakes but unlike the Suns who have got a stable follow of core supporters who stick through thick and thin we can't afford to be bottom 4 or our existence may be under threat. If you don't think there is a Vic bias still you need to open your eyes, very few Qlders and Nsw kids are being picked atm . If I had a talented son I would be sending him to a Vic private school and tell him not to play senior footy , it's hard to be exposed playing only under 18s footy

Having attended many Giants games during my 5 years in Hell, I mean Sydney ( no offence) I agree with your points, I was always concerned at the lack of numbers attending what was a surpurb team playing great football.

I hope the giants are successful mate, best of luck

You think the developmental programs are going to be as good in nsw and qld as Victoria now? Of course not, that's where the best leagues are, the better junior coaches are. Iron sharpens iron, if you can play at a higher level week in week out in Victoria, it will obviously get the best out of you. But we have our own academies, you guys especially can't be complaining about access to u18 talent. You've got yourselves into this mess, now you need to get yourself out of it. Not looking for handouts like a f***** loser

Just calling it how I see it, post on the main board both expansion clubs deserve more salary cap and you'll see hostile

So Dew might give him a game in Round 23?

Yeap, nobody gets free games.

It worked, he was incredible for his first 5 games.

It works for Swans too. I am a bit tired of entitled young players. I suspect, Sharp could be one of them. I am still pis**off after watching some of his poor efforts in VFL finals against Southport.
