2024/2025 Gold Coast Draft & Trade Periods

[OB11]

Not really, live trading would of allowed us to cash it in on the night for a premium

Would have needed to trade it for a future pick to protect it until Lombard bid and then try to get back in.

It seems it will take a F1 to get an early 2nd round pick so would have to be a player we rate highly to be paying that price. Hopefully they've done a Geelong and actually scouted some of the less exposed draftees and can find value in the second half of the draft

I agree that we could probably get Rioli only for pick 6 but it could go to the last hour of trade. I don't think Tigers would pass on pick 6.

We also got picks 51, 61, 70, 76 in Rioli trade for Lombard bid. Essentially, we traded picks 6 and 44-49 for Rioli.

I don't think we could do live trade on draft night to get points for Lombard and also overs for pick 23. Too risky, IMO, need a club with picks ready. E.g., Lions also traded pick 20 during trade for points.

Yes, we could trade pick 23 before draft when picks trade window is open.

Ehh not sure it would be a premium, clubs would know we cannot use those picks and offer SFA for them.

Exactly, it would actually weaken our bargaining position

I'm just putting this here because I want to be able to look back on it in 5 years time. Being a somewhat consistent draft watcher, if I had my pick of the top 10 for this year it would be;

1. Levi Ashcroft

2. Murphy Reid

3. Jagga Smith

4. Isaac Kako

6. Taj Hotton

7. Leo Lombard

8. Tobie Travaglia

9. Cooper Hynes

10. Finn O'Sullivan

Guys i'm not as hot on that people rate very highly

• Sam Lalor
• Josh Smillie
• Bo Allen

I'll have a go

1. Ashcroft
2. Armstrong
3. Lalor
4. O'Sullivan
5. Smith
6. Langford
7. Lindsay
8. Travaglia
9. Draper
10. Lombard

My favourite is Harry Armstrong - the kid has sticky hands, is accurate and can kick 60m effortlessly from a set shot. He may not get the ball much but will rack up goals at high efficiency once he develops.

Also big fan of Lindsay - classy left footer who racks it up and uses it well

Not a big fan of Smille - he's big but doesn't use his physicality as much as what you would like

Hello, how many picks will Gold Coast take?
I think Gold Coast and GWS should consider trading On draft night.
Perhaps 21,f2 for your F1,pick 40 or whatever you have after Lombard bid.

I like Lindsay the most(outside the top5) and would love to trade back in for him or Hotton
