Was it part of the iSak rAnckiNe deal?

Separate. Happened on draft day so we could select Billy Dowling. Rest of the relevant parts of the trade is Gold Coast and us swapping our 2nd and a pair of 3rds we had both accumulated (so we're also death riding Geelong).

I think Geelong's 3rd was used to get Bond.
 
Wonder when players like Anderson say enough is enough.
Have said all the way along that I doubt any sporting team will be successful in Gold Coast.

Tasmania should have got a team instead.

Agree, not enough pressure to perform. Dew has been there five years without finals and got an extension.

Not sure we want him at the price we would have to pay but they overpaid for Lukosius because they felt they had to keep him for the sake of culture. I think they will be trying to offload in the next few years.
 
They should be well ahead of us.

They have a gun ruckman. We have Reilly O'Brien

They have a near-Brownlow winning experienced starting midfielder (Miller), surrounded by Matt Rowell, Noah Anderson, David Swallow, Lachie Weller, Elijah Hollands and Sam Flanders

For those playing at home that's a midfield built on pick 1, 1, 2, 7, 11 and 13 PLUS Miller. That's a stack of elite picks and players that should be very good.

Up forward they've got a gun key (Ben King) and a couple of other decent players like Chol, Lukosius (pick 2) and Ainsworth (pick 4). They just added Bailey Humphrey as well (pick 6)

Down back they have three very good players in Collins, Ballard and Powell.

And their role players aren't half bad either. Guys like Ben Long (just brought in), Joel Jeffrey, and Alex Davies have all showed signs. They've also got Mac Andrew waiting in the wings, another top pick (pick 5)

How the flying **** is this team still terrible. They are at least a couple of years further into their rebuild than us and don't look like making finals any time soon

Maybe its as simple as there is not the pressure to perform up there as there is at the traditional clubs due to the lack of an established supporter base. Because you are right, they should really be hitting their stride now
 
Gold Coast go from three goals up at half time against Freo to losing by two goals. Sitting pretty in 17th spot.

You'd have to think, maybe if they had a Rankine running around for them, they might almost have got that game :)
Nah Rankine had nothing to do with it. Pure coaching. Their game plan is horrible

Not giving away pick 7 and drafting a Phillipou would have helped them too
