Sounds like most clubs are trying to do that.

Wonder who the target is.

Key back. Hopefully Trainor

The Suns haven’t been quite as focused on this year’s draft as others, as they cast an eye to 2025 with some more gun Academy players coming through.


They have also known for some time that this year’s top Suns Academy member – Leo Lombard – would attract a first-round bid. That is expected to come as early as one of St Kilda’s picks at 7 and 8, with the Saints having not hidden their frustrations about the father-son and Academy bidding system in recent times. Lombard is a 179cm midfielder who was a joint-winner of the Larke Medal for the best player of the under-18 national championships this year. He has been likened to Gold Coast veteran Touk Miller

and played in a VFL premiership for the Suns as a 16-year-old last year.


Gold Coast would like to nab an extra first round pick this year, reaching out to the likes of Greater Western Sydney, Richmond and Sydney to try and find one. If a deal can’t be done, the Suns are likely to just have one further pick late in the order after matching the Lombard bid.

Key back. Hopefully Trainor

Sliding due to concussion issues. Sounds like an interceptor, which isn't really a need.

 

[RowellAnderson12]

Freo want Joe Berry so maybe we get Dattoli later on?

I would prefer to see a small come in if we don’t land a big dog like Hotton or Lindsay

All defenders are interceptors these days. There isn't really any gorilla dour defenders. Everyone intercepts because that's the best way of attack.

Berry would be my choice. Maybe Hannaford later on. Read mixed reports on him though.

Yeah fair point, even your KPD's need to be able to football.

I'd rather steer clear of blokes with concussion issues though, same with Hotton, too many injuries issues.

 

[Supersuns]

Berry would absolutely be my choice as well but the club seems set on Rogers and Leo as small forwards. So KPD is our next biggest weakness

I think we are in a great position to take a punt on a slider like Trainor. He wouldn't need to play AFL for 2 or so seasons, and would get to learn from Chucky and Sarge. A perfect apprenticeship. Doesn't have to play straight away

 

[Supersuns]

We are also going to overpay for a pick in the 20s this year, I see our future first going to someone like Richmond for 23 because A, our future first will get swallowed next year and B, next year's draft doesn't seem to have the depth at the top end this year does. So those melts will be fun

We can't get 23 straight back from Richmond.

All three firsts will get used up for bids next year probably. Just a matter of what the best use for them is.

 

[MarcLocksCrustySock]

Hannaford, Berry or Trainor for me.

 

[OB11]

Hannaford, Berry or Trainor for me.

Hannaford is realistic and think he would be a good fit

Berry is a pipe dream

Trainor would only be possible if he slid to the mid 20s
