2024/2025 Gold Coast Draft & Trade Periods

[Iva Bigun]

Joh Ralph reporting again on Foxsports that Luko wants to stay, even the Crows and Power believe this to be true.

Dimma needs to sit him down and tell him straight, renegotiate your contract and you have a future here, then he needs to tell Craig Cameron to find a new home

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

Saints might go for Ratkins. They used Bonner for 15 games then delisted him. They love washed footballers

Yep. Add on 2 more at like 500-600k. All of a sudden it’s 4x700 and looks great at 2023 form

4 x 600 would be his worth. I am very interested to know what Ballards extra 4 years are costing us

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Reading on fb - A patron asked Sexy and he is contracted next year so will chalk it down

Bonner played 19 games.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Holman and Lemmens signed on

[Jen2310]

Whatever it is it's a steal!

Oh definitely, I'm sure! Just think it's weird you hear round a bout figures for some players but not for others.

Usually numbers are leaked if another team/manager is involved.

In house - no bueno

I'm not saying otherwise, im not bashing him either, season's over and everyone gets a clean slate. I thought Collins' '23 and '24 were polar opposite so I hold hope for Charlie. He is a good intercepting backman, if he doesn't brain shart and gift the opposition goals he will be a very good backman. My concern is that he isn't a 1 on 1 defender and his disposal can be awful to be a rebounding defender. Surrounding him with Noble and Rioli (with Uwland, Andrew and Collins) will hopefully see the defensive unit strengthen as a whole.

Holman =

 

[sydney_gws]

Get ready. Rioli and Noble deals will get done and we will pay overs.

Would you trade Lukosius to Collingwood for Noble and 2025r2. Or is that not acceptable to Gold Coast.

 

[Southern Sun]

Bit of talk crows have offered their future first for luko, presumably with something going back. Considering that's likely a top 5 pick that's a pretty good outcome.

If we trade for a future pick with the Crows, they are going top 8. Almost a guaranteed lock! We won’t get anything better than 12.

We won’t care when we are top four though

 

[Ben Drever]

So Noble and pick 35** in 2025

While Collingwood get 40goals in 2025

Rather him play VFL for the Suns then let the pies get away with murder

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

I find it almost impossible for crows not to bounce. They get the bottom 6 draw, rather than the middle 6 like the season just been. An extra home game with gather round. Thilthorpe for a whole year, potentially Rankine for more than half the year. They couldn’t be any worse than last year

It’s more unlikely than likely the future is a top 5 pick

Crows dramatically underperformed this year, many pundits had them in the 8 at the start of the year. Nicks will be fired if they start next year poorly, either way I expect a bump in performance. I would still take that deal depending on what goes with Luko

 

[Ben Drever]

Twomey’s mega trade update: North’s interest in Houston, Sydney looking at Hawks defender plus much more

The trade latest.

TWOMEY has Luko choosing either of the SA clubs if he does decide to go.

Future first the likely outcome

It’s more unlikely than likely the future is a top 5 pick

Will be one of the easiest draw instead of what ended up as the hardest draw this year but this will be offset by Nicks (countless stupid mistakes in the last few years and can't see him changing), at best we will just miss out on the 8.

Too expensive for a VFL player

The League weighed up bringing in the new model for this year, but was met with strong resistance from clubs who had already traded in future picks under the current model.


It means this will be the last year of the current model before the new points system is introduced next year.


Across the changes, around 10,000 points have been shaved off the DVI in the new system, including taking away points for any pick after No.54. Under the previous system, points were attached to picks through to No.73.


The No.1 pick value will remain at 3000 points but there will be a steeper drop-off in points thereafter. From picks 2-10, all of those picks are worth at least 100 points fewer in next year's model, while that gap grows as the draft goes on.
Pick 20 in the current model is worth 912 points and in the new model will be worth 757 points. Pick 30 in the current model garners a club 629 points but in the new model will have only 454 points attached to it.


By pick 40, the gap is almost at 200 points – this year will be the last time it is worth 429 points and next year it has been assigned 238 points.


This has all been done so clubs are not able to match bids by stocking up on middle-range draft picks, with the AFL keener for them to have to pay fairer price for father-son and Academy players. It will also make it far more difficult next year and beyond to match multiple bids on players within the same draft without going into a points deficit.
To that end, the AFL looked closely at the 'matching zone' of the draft, where clubs had typically stocked up on picks and points to match on prospects between pick 29 and 46. In that part of the draft alone, nearly 3500 points have been taken out of the new DVI.


The change in points system for 2025 will have an impact on this year's Trade Period and Telstra AFL Draft, with club list bosses and recruiters having to navigate future picks worth a different value to this year's draft selections.


Gold Coast will be one club in that boat, given the Suns have a No.1 pick contender – midfielder Zeke Uwland – tied to their Academy for next year as well as a number of other exciting talents.

also shape as potential Academy selections next year, while Collingwood father-son prospect Thomas McGuane, son of former Magpie Mick, has shown exciting signs playing with the Western Jets this year and will also be in the club's planning for 2025.


Isaac Waller (Brisbane), Koby Evans (West Coast) and Hussien El Achkar (Essendon) are other Academy players with ties next year.


It means as clubs are throwing in future picks for deals, they will be working on a different points economy to this year's draft, adding another element to the upcoming trade frenzy.
