2024/2025 Gold Coast Draft & Trade Periods

[GC2015]

So sweet listening to whinging Cornes this morning.”Watch out in 2-3 years. Suns will be unbeatable”. I hope he’s right.

Kane has been running with this narrative for a while now. He thinks that there's just too much talent walking through our doors for it to not tick over and we start playing finals/dominating the league soon. In theory, he's probably right but we know there's more to it than that. No doubt Kane will start the 'I told you so' narrative when it does happen.

On the bright side, they did seem to understand what we were doing with our trades this year and lauded our ability to pull it all off. They also think Zeke The Freak could be the number 1 draft pick next year and that will really infuriate the Vics if it comes to fruition.

Telling myself that it’s pick 27 not 23. Ashcroft, Kako, Lombard, Marshall bids hopefully

 

[Jen2310]

So much for a pick in the 30's..

 

[DTLSchulzy16]

So much for a pick in the 30's..

After Brisbane and Essendon match
51 becomes 48, 61 becomes 58, 70 becomes 67(hopefully)

48, 58, 67 (302, 170, 39) = 511
Pick 36

Positivity!!!

But also fk Cameron, could’ve done so much more with pick 6

I guess at the end of the day, we have Rioli now who I do think will have a massive influence on the way we play and on our other halfback learning to play with a bit more creativity, even if just about anyone else would’ve gotten him for much, much less. The cost will be meh if he can come in and straighten us up.

Also, Richmond having 7 draftees coming out of their first contract in the off-season Tasmania builds their list, after what I assume will be 3 years of very very few wins, will certainly be an interesting time.

When was the last time we landed a current best and fairest winner from another club? Michael Rischitelli in 2010?

That's a great point. It's like GWS when they targeted the 2009 number 1 pick Tom Scully because they knew he was going to be out of contract at the end of 2011 when they were building their inaugural AFL list. The Dees hadn't progressed much by the end of 2011 and they lost Scully to a massive offer from the Giants. Likewise, if Richmond don't rocket up the ladder in the next 2-3 years then the money on offer for those highly rated/out of contract Richmond players to head to Tassie will be hard to ignore.

Having two HBFs like Rioli and Noble was an absolute pipe dream 12 months ago.
I'm stoked.

Because shit entitled legacy clubs like yours used us like we're using you now
We own you now though
Not that there's much left to own
We've pretty much done you.
Got your coach, your footy manager, your BnF winner maybe even Dusty
I love how we can just toss you a lazy 6 and 23 and you squeal like a hungry dog making off with a chop bone and we have to check our wallet to see if anything's actually missing

You do know he is not a richmond supporter yeah
either cats or port

They will all be extended the moment they walk through the door

This is it, in a nutshell.

agreed. changed my avatar to match

Not if they are smart. Use Tassie as the stalking horse, get a bigger bag. Would honestly make a good change from using North or us to push up contracts.

Risky, no way all 7 picks are a success.

Would love to see who they front ended to reach the salary cap. Unless they are planning to pay some delisted free agent guys. Since draft picks are capped at the $$ amount

Didn't Balta sign a long deal recently? He's probably getting 50% of his money next year.

Risky front loading money though, the players might get itchy feet when they are left on $350k for the last few years of their deals.

 

[CanYouFeelTheSunburn]

Stoked we have picked up Noble and Rioli. They will both drastically improve our backline and allow us to transition the ball off half back cleanly. Once we can get our inside 50 entries cleaned up too and hit targets we are going to be scary good.

[GC2015]

In 6-8 months from now, we'll all be cheering as Rioli dominates a game and pick 6 struggles to adjust to the AFL level with the bottom of the ladder Tigers or is stuck in the VFL.

 

[thurls64]

the only small issue now is having guns like Rioli and Noble slingshotting balls out of the backline allows an outside cherry picker like Lukosius to shine up the field in space- would rather have guys that can win their own ball and take a contested mark though for the money he commands

will be a distant memory

 

[Cheifkeith95]

got both our main targets, added depth in key forward stocks, cleared cash of the books, have enough recourses to secure Lombard and have a plethora of early picks for next year.
all things considered camerons kinda nailed it

 

[THE_GUN]

Would love to see who they front ended to reach the salary cap. Unless they are planning to pay some delisted free agent guys. Since draft picks are capped at the $$ amount

Taranto & Hopper have 5 years left at $750k a year so could pay 50% of their contracts in 2025 leaving $300k a year
Lynch is owed $1.5 mil in 2025 and we will extend him for another year at $600k and pay him $2 mil next year
Broad $500k x 2 years will be paid up 50%
Balta 7 years $1 mil could get 50% in his 1st year leaving $500k a year for the remainder

Thats $9 mil of the $17 mil cap for 2025 but literally opens up a shed load for 2026 and beyond to take salary dumps like Bowes or go after free agents end of next year

 

[Brenton87]

Happy days, hit all our targets and set up for acedemy players next year. Successful trade period in my opinion.
