2024/2025 Gold Coast Draft & Trade Periods

[Mini GF]

Salary off the books
Non tackler off the list
And because Port are so desperate for him we will get an amazing deal

In Dimma We Trust

Luko used to do my head in with his efforts in general be it tackling or overhead and then missing easy shots at goal

Moving on now

 

[Supersuns]

Everyone realises that Hardwick is the one pushing him out right? He clearly doesn't see him as a player in his system. What dimma wants, dimma gets.

 

[Mini GF]

Luko to Adelaide would have got you guys a better pick I would have thought. Their future first is a top 10 pick. Port future first 14-18. Unless you can get their Dan Houston 1st rd pick off them.

Yeah I think PA might slide out of the 8 next year. But the Houston point you make is very interesting.

 

[Jirik13]

Picks 2 and 3 from the Gold Coast 2018 draft.
Now gone for peanuts compared to what picks were used

Rankine for pick 5? Is Humphrey peanuts? We will get probably 1st round for Luko.

Blame Dimma for Luko

Or Walter, Read, Andrew for joining us.

It will be rare air for me…
Normally I hold a grudge when players leave.
But I just can’t be mad at Luko. He didn’t want to leave. Poor cap management and perhaps him not fitting into the plans is to blame.

I want players who fight fight fight to who hold up the cup not players who play when they feel like it. We can probably count on one hand the amount of good games that he has played

I wish him all the best but this is the big league and we need hungry players not players paid high on potential we’ve had that forever

I would say we got more players like Luko? Is King next with half tackles compared to Luko?

Just cheeky comment.

I prefer to watch Walter chasing like crazy but I do will miss his smarts. Often he was on different wavelength with teammates. Waving hands in great position to no avail. We are so bloody hopeless in deliveries. Luko played well late last year.

Whatever Dimma decides I am OK with provided it leads us to finals. That 100% trust in Dimma on this forum worries me. It could be his assistants who were the difference at Tigers.

I am a bit surprised nobody is critical of Dimma's "we don't need picks". How can Cameron do his job after comment like this

Sorry to jump in, but the crows paid pick 5 for Rankine from you so pick 3 to 5 is not much of a drop

For some reason, I am a bit sad Luko leaving. I loved how he read the game and some of his kicks were beautiful.

Sure, academy kids are coming, and he is not the strongest guy in contest, but often Dimma and teammates did not use him properly.

Hopefully, Rowell is not pissed off and re-signs.

Good luck, Luko. You may need it. Pressure in Adelaide will be insane. Luko was a bit whipping boy here. I suspect, it could go to another level in Adelaide.

Depends on the player, Rankine handle the pressure and took his game to another level.

It's over. Back to your Adelaide home forum to spread 'basic footy knowledge'

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Will miss Luko. 6 years is a massive offer to take.

All the best to him, he is already getting hate now he’s leaving GC , as the next Jack Watts.

55 goals from king probably gives him a pass mark. His early season was my whipping but kept working on his game as the season went on and salvaged himself but a lot of the time is was him on his own kicking the goals

Is he not wrong in needing more picks?
Most premiership sides have a handful of players from other teams
We need to break the cycle of first round picked players topped up with other clubs cloggers until the picks get games into them then the top players go elsewhere because they’re sick of losing
I mean Jack Lukosius has played 116 games for 40 wins
David swallow 240 games 72 wins

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

So what’s the forward line?

King/Mac/Walter/Long
King/Walter/Long
King/Walter/Read/Long
King/Long/Dusty
King/Long/Sexton
King/Walter/Himm/Long
King/Walter/Gulbin/Long

Aren’t we suppose to being playing finals next year

No argument from me. I couldn't care less about picks. Nobody complained about all those players we got for free.

Some fans fighting trade battles don't like those statements

Let's play finals. More mature best 22 needed. Wish we had played finals this year. We could get probably bigger fish.

I do feel for Swallow. That streak of 18 consecutive losses was tough on everybody including me. At least he got well remunerated

Now let's see what Rowell will do. It would not surprise me if he waits with re-signing. BTW, Rowell took Luko to Brownlow.

 

[THE_GUN]

Following in the footsteps of Jack Watts

oh well at least his number #13 will be available

 

[sunsofanarchy]

So we can now assume we are no longer even remotely in cap trouble and there is no need to over compensate in the rioli trade to have salary included in the deal?

So only pick 6?

I was thinking throw the check book back at Bowes to get a Queenslander back

 

[Jirik13]

Nah for me. IMO, he looks at best average role player for Cats.

 

[Supersuns]

Check book for a vfl player? He ain't getting in our midfield

Absolutely, Richmond just lost a lot of their leverage.

Bowes is a plodder, no place for him.

King/Long/Dusty

I would imagine, based on current players on the list:

Rosas, Walter, Long
Flanders, King, Ainsworth

Then a traded-in player (like Dusty ) or rested mid like Humphrey, Anderson or even Touk.

Not the best, not the worst.

King with 50+ is good returns. I think our smalls are all capable of close to 20 goals if they stay fit. If one could be a 30+ goal small that would be great! Long seems most likely based on this year, tbh.

Depends if Rosas also requests a trade, too. If he does, we need to get the best available small we can—preferably same age or higher—who can make an impact. Can’t rely on Holman or Swallow to do that role. Otherwise we force Humphrey to stay in that role…

 

[KaySwizzle]

Also, I’m a bit sad to see Luko go. Feel we, as a club, never used him well—especially this year.

Not saying he’ll go and tear it up. He’s definitely not the forward to replace Dixon, for example. But Port play a fast brand and that could suit him. Guess we’ll see. First rounder in return, please.
