Give it time they will be out of the mandatory 14 days isolation soon. Plus we have close to 38 guys already contracted. I wouldn’t expect a huge list in this first round

SUNS COULD POACH GUN SWAN
Gold Coast has considered a bid for Sydney free agent Luke Parker but will likely pass despite his ties to coach Stewart Dew, a former Sydney assistant coach.
Parker wants a four-year contract at $700,000 or more and despite his exceptional durability missing one game in six years turns 29 in October.
The Swans have offered him a deal as modest as two seasons at $500,000 as they attempt to arrest a salary cap issue that could see them losing multiple players.
Parker would provide brilliant leadership at the Suns but would likely force one of Noah Anderson or Matt Rowell out of a midfield that also has Touk Miller and the improving Brayden Fiorini.
The salary will be too rich for the Suns, who are keener to secure key position talent in the off-season period to help Ben King.
Parker might appeal to a club like St Kilda which is in the window and would love his strong contested work and ability to go forward to kick multiple goals.
The Swans have cap issues like all clubs but their crisis is acute given the cost of living in Sydney and high-priced contracts for the likes of Lance Franklin, Isaac Heeney, Parker, Dane Rampe, Cal Mills and Tom Papley.
Franklin is due $900,000 next season on a deal that cannot be altered under AFL rules, while Heeney becomes a free agent at the end of 2022.
The Suns are still totally in the dark about whether they will keep their No.19 draft pick handed to them as part of a suite of extra selections by the AFL in an assistance package.
The expectation is the AFL will not take the selection off the Suns after only seven wins this season with the draft period only a month away.

A positive of this is the club expressing they are prioritising Key Position talent rather than looking at every clubs scraps.
"at every clubs scraps"
Parker's an All Australian, Club Captain, 2 (probably soon to be 3) x Club Champion and premiership player.
He's better credentialed than any player we currently have on our list. Hardly a 'scrap'
Him coming to the Suns would be a MASSIVE boost for the club.
I hope we do it.

If you're gonna take a punt on someone with that money, he would be the one to do it.
We're likely to lose Brodie this off season. There's 400k a year as is. All we need to find is 300k a year for a guy with those credentials. Get it done. Would be a gamechanger for us

This would have been brief and I think earlier in the year and he clearly changed his mind. But..
What tripe

I know everyone here will rubbish it but it still a rumour
- lasted episode of List cloggers (Dylan Buckley & Daniel gorringe podcast)
- GMZ is a segment that gorringe tells news or rumours, he has gotten the afl grand final in Perth right, called that 2-3 months ago.
This episode he claims;
A top end draft pick from the suns will formally request a trade back home.
The home is Adelaide, so that rules out King.
Now Lukosius I feel will not leave and if he did the teams he would go to would not have enough currency.
Which leaves poor little Izak, who got dropped and wasn’t seen again. Let’s see?

Almost positive it's Luko that wants out.
If Luko does want out then we have to play hard ball.
it also will start the whole media frenzy again about a mass exodus, luckily Dew will magically turn a 20% winning % into a finals team next year

I believe we got a rumour thread for this.

Sorry mate I wasn’t referring to Parker specifically as ‘every teams scraps’ more so the media linking us to every single player that comes available.
I have no doubt Parker would be a valued addition to the suns lineup. However I am pleased our club has publicly stated a Key Position player is our priority.

Jack Lukosius (Gold Coast)
“At the moment all things point to him staying there. The Suns have been given no reason to believe that he’ll be packing his bags and going back to Adelaide.”
Ben King (Gold Coast)
(Regarding Essendon's need for a key forward).
“Ben King might be the one, they might play the long game on him I reckon.”

Gold Coast will consider Dunstan – maybe even as a rookie – but first needs to find a new home for Will Brodie, who has one year remaining on his juicy contract.
Both the club and player would jump at a trade if a suitor popped up, though Brodie – Pick 9 in 2016 – would need to accept a pay cut to find a new home.

What would players recently out of the game know?
Probably not a lot - but a whole lot more than 99% of people on BigFooty you’d imagine.
I remember seeing a photo earlier in the year of Rowell, Anderson and Daicos having coffee in Melbourne somewhere. All Oakleigh Chargers boys and apparently good mates. Wouldn't surprise me if there was genuine interest there from Daicos and if those two weren't in his ear about coming up. He announced he'd nominate father son when we were locked in at pick 3 which probably helped solidify that decision - there's no way he makes it past pick 2 in an open draft.

no thats right.
I think his interest was brief. Around mid season. But in the end, made the right choice. He knows where he belongs.
