I’m not naive, I’ve seen the way GC work with salary dumps. They broadcast to the entire league that Bowes was available with pick 7 as a salary dump.You seriously naive to take them at their word? The fact that they gave him the green light to explore a trade means that they essentially don't see his as part of their plans going forward. You would be even more naive to think that GC wouldn't jump at the opportunity of moving lukosius's entire contract of their books. GC aren't a destination club , so their only way of retaining players/attracting other players is via lucrative contracts.
They’re basically the same player. Even one first rounder for him is highway robberyJust thought I'd throw an interesting comparison out there between Noble and Rioli from last year when the Tugs weren't complete non-completive trash and we won the flag.
Not exactly a yawning chasm between them really just based on the numbers anyway...

We've all got too much time on our hands - we all need to get a life!I hate how glued I am to this thread already and the trade period isn't for like 6 weeks
Ha ha, I know, I'm checking in every bloody 15 minutes except for when I'm at work during the day and asleep overnightI hate how glued I am to this thread already and the trade period isn't for like 6 weeks
I'm addicted to checking on other posters whom I suspect are just trade period addicts with a serious addictionHa ha, I know, I'm checking in every bloody 15 minutes except for when I'm at work during the day and asleep overnight
Same age, same super contributionsJust thought I'd throw an interesting comparison out there between Noble and Rioli from last year when the Tugs weren't complete non-completive trash and we won the flag.

What stood out to me is that JFN just doesn't f?cking missJust thought I'd throw an interesting comparison out there between Noble and Rioli from last year when the Tugs weren't complete non-completive trash and we won the flag.

Not if you're MelbourneHow about:
- Noble and our first pick to Gold Coast
- Lukosius and pick 20 to Melbourne
- Petracca to Collingwood
Seems fair-ish?
All jokes about Petracca aside, that’s the deal I’d be shooting for if I was Leppitsch. If Rioli, who’s statistically identical to Noble is apparently worth two first rounders (lol) then surely that’s a bargain for JFNHow about:
- Noble and our first pick to Gold Coast
- Lukosius and pick 20 to Melbourne
- Petracca to Collingwood
Seems fair-ish?
If you’d prefer a shit sandwich opposed to a fixable salad roll
It was almost at Johnny Gastev level when Daicos Snr put 13 on him at Carrara.Anyone else get goosebumps watching Keane play on Joel Amartey earlier this year? 9 goals and given a bloodbath... not the good type of goosebumps either...
Dream on, he’s not signing for us he’s going to play Bball somewhere for millions of dollars. Even if he sits on the bench for the whole season for a euro league team he’s making more than his first contract for us in the first couple of weeks playing Bball. Imagine the millions to do nothing in the NBA just because you’re tall.Bit of sunshine to brighten up everyone’s mood….
Just a friendly Reminder that we will be pulling off one of the steals of the trade / draft period, by getting Alex Condon for free in the coming months….
Take a look at his skill, height and athleticism and I am convinced that he will end up being one of the very best ruckman in the league within 3 / 4 years.
A massive get, which will set us and our midfield up for years. Also - and I do not jest here - with his basketball vision and touch, I firmly believe that he and Nick will form the best ruckman : midfielder combination in the league. Bookmark it….
Go pies
GC are the big winners from that trade scenario - gain Noble, our future first rounder and a big salary saving whilst only losing the flaky Lukosius. Melbourne getting dudded by comparison.How about:
- Noble and our first pick to Gold Coast
- Lukosius and pick 20 to Melbourne
- Petracca to Collingwood
Seems fair-ish?
That’s only if he’s good enough for nba or Europe though. The NBL salaries aren’t as good as the AFLDream on, he’s not signing for us he’s going to play Bball somewhere for millions of dollars.

He ain’t coming to us.
He's only out to play NBA. If he has no chance, he'll be playing for us. This isn't a new thing, its simply what will happen.Dream on, he’s not signing for us he’s going to play Bball somewhere for millions of dollars.

Rookies make stuff all in Europe. Huge money if they become stars, but AFL is a much safer financial bet.That’s only if he’s good enough for nba or Europe though. The NBL salaries aren’t as good as the AFL
