Does this mean the girlfriend is now going back to working in Dubai ?!

I’ve been wondering this for a week. Why does everyone want GC’s pick 13 when Saints pick 8, Freos pick 11 and Essondons pick 9 were clearly on the table. Add in Hawthorns pick 14 and it just doesn’t make sense that 6 sides have apparently been fighting over GC’s pick.

Because GCS generally throw away draft picks for little value as they have so many picks to throw away.

Except when trading with us!

Saints pick (not sure... assume they using both or to move up very high - not trading back?)
Freo (are both going to Richmond for bolton)
Hawks (everyone assumed it was locked I'm for barrass)
Essendon (only traded it to melb as they told them they would bid on their NGA making it worthless pick)
Suns (always getting traded due to NGA bid early)

Mostly as GC need points so easier to put a deal forward that appeals than a trade based on just draft position

You know how people say they wouldnt read it if it was free

Guess what I aint reading it

I was just about to answer using those exact words!

Melbourne always find a way of trading into good picks. I really wish we had the balls to make the moves they make sometimes.

like the trading we did to get Curtin?

 

[Crow till I die]

like the trading we did to get Curtin?

The irony was, it was a rare time we traded up rather than down, but i honestly believe if we retain Dan for the long term we have an awesome talent on our list

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Wheels really falling off the destination club wagon this off season.

Is it too late for Lukosius to change his mind about his destination?

 

[Draft Bored]

like the trading we did to get Curtin?

We moved up 3 picks (11 to 8)... that's not a huge move.

Melbourne are going to trade their F1 + F2 for pick 9 tomorrow. That's a ballsy move. It's risky. But they're landing a top 10 pick in a very good draft.

We could have on traded that Curtin pick back to eagles for their F1 (which is pick 3 this year)... Curtin vs pick 3 this year will be a big turning point.

I make that 7 & 25 in 2035 for Pick 9 in 2024. If any team is falling off a cliff next year it's Melbourne

Because they all think GC are push overs and can get it for "unders"

Makes you wonder how legit Gold Coast supporters feel

Richmunt drop in and pry Lynch and Prestia off of them .. go on and win a series of premierships

Tell them to fix their culture if they want to hang onto players

And now the Richmunt list is cooked and about to fall off of a cliff and they turn up banging on the door literally demanding picks for players they are literally pushing out the so that they can turbo charge their rebuild

It's seriously absurd
