Speculation Malcolm Rosas [OOC 2025] - released from contract early?

[Makeshift Park]

 

[Shack18]

Good player, would love him at North, we have f all small quick forwards

 

[Scotty_222]

Surprised by this, I would think this is what we need and don’t have enough of on our list is skillful, fast fwds.
Left footer as well

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

Carlton should be in up to their eyeballs for a player like Rosas. High risk high reward but god we need some speed up forward. Would totally change the dynamic up forward at the feet of Mckay and Curnow.

 

[Johnny Bananas]

Puzzling move by the Suns, Rosas has been decent whenever I've watched him.

 

[kreglze]

Good sense for goal on his left, obviously didn't fill the role that the coaches have wanted, not the most defensively orientated player and could panic at times, so may have counted against him.

We seem to be offloading a lot of players, even contracted ones, wonder what the plan for the rest of the trade period is.

 

[WalshistheGOAT]

What do Suns fans think he's worth? I would have said a 2nd rounder before tonights news but with the club pushing him out I'd think the market rate would be slightly lower now?

If its come about from a list spot squeeze... high end 3rd round? Say pick 40-45?

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Wpuld have been keen prior to finding out we are getting Warner, Baker, Bolton and Pickett. Nice player though must have issues if Dimma is pushing him out

I'd pounce on that in a heartbeat for a player of his talents. As some Suns fans have said, he's not the finished product and could work harder on the defensive side of his game, but he's got some real tricks and lightning pace.

The Blues would not need to be asked twice at that price, I reckon.
With the injuries, having to play Fantasia was like playing a man down at times but you didn’t have many other options at the time.
Rosas isn’t a superstar but he can absolutely play

 

[anotherletdown]

Swans should get busy here, we need some x-factor and speed up forward

 

[Westlo]

Welcome to Essendon unless you're a coward who thinks he can't displace Jye ****ing Menzie.

 

[Warhorse]

What a strange move from GCS. Good little player

 

[Iva Bigun]

The Suns desperately need a quality small forward, we are all baffled by this decision as Mally was very good most of the year

 

[dazzledavey36]

If Kozzie goes then he becomes a priority. Heck I'd still make him a priority even if Kozzie doesn't go.

 

[BRider]

North should be all over this.

 

[JayJ20]

Essendon were chasing him a couple of years ago before he resigned with Gold Coast. 100% interested. Hope he comes to Essendon. Would be a good fit next to Kako.

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

North should be all over this.

Definitely. Would love to have him. Would have a few suitors though.

 

[Crow till I die]

If the crows F1 is involved in a Lukosius deal, then they should be asking for GC to be including Rosas as steak knives. He would help free up Rankine and Rachele to be majority full time mids.

Bombers wanted Rosas in the past and that's where he will end up, is my guess. IMO, not a steak knife, a lot of talent.

Big assumption that it's the player and not Dimma with the issues*

*only somewhat joking, I don't have anything against Dimma but the man has gone off the rails the last three years

I reckon coach has assessed the list and decided that there is stacks of young high grade talent but not enough grunt (outside of the middle). Surplus to needs players can go and be used to bring in quality AFL players in key roles.

Crows have shown the most interest, not in the conversation for the Bombers at this point

Will be a bomber in 2025
