Nah he was right to take them downis Ooze gonna realise his misjudgement n put the photos back up on mondy ?
If that happens, the Eagles board will spontaneously combust.Gonna be crazy here in a few weeks when Harley Reid wants out.
I'd need a blindfold and shitload of your little blue treats but your missus has been bugging me for months so let's see how we go.
I love Rioli, have said many times, him leaving is the one that hurts me the most and I dont want to trade him, but he is a 28 year old HBF and we are bottom of the ladder.Don't forget GC picks 5 & 12 will almost certainly become 7 & 14 with Battle compo (5) and Ashcroft bid (top 5).
Ask yourself, what is Dan's value if he was out of contract? What deal would we do that is fair?
I'd say 14 and 22 and we pay salary space. Which I'm sure GC would like. Hence why that is a good deal.
Gold Coast in 2022 giving away pick 7 and Bowes to Geelong for a future 3rd rounder and salary cap relief ring any bells?
Now considering Dan has 3 more years to run on his contract, GC would have to pay a premium for us to let a likely B&F winner, top 3 player, and vital cog leave. That premium is pick 5. (which will become 7) We throw back a bag of late picks to use on academy kids.
To suggest that Dan is not worth that is simplistic. He's worth that to us and to Gold Coast. Break down the deal... the contract, the salary cap relief for Gold Coast.
The club should (and my guess is, will) reject ridiculous offers like 12 and 20 (14 & 22) and tell GC to come back with a serious offer for a contracted player or he stays.
We need to go full Dodoro in the trade week. Stuff the media and all the muppets saying he's only worth this, blah blah blah. Time to be ruthless.
Pick 1 2024, 2025 and 2026

So want that to happen…would love HR to be wearing yellow and blackGonna be crazy here in a few weeks when Harley Reid wants out.
I think we may have a F/S and an Academy prospect next year.Don't see the point in trying to bank future picks if this draft is so strong.
Leys and Armstrong (NGA) are 2026.I think we may have a F/S and an Academy prospect next year.
Brian Leys son?
And I suppose we may want to spread our picks over a number of seasons.
Either use them on kids or trade capital next season
My bad, one year out. So it’ll be next year that we may want to trade for another pick or 2 to grab those 2 in 26.Leys and Armstrong (NGA) are 2026.
Kellaways kid is next year but don't think he's shaping as too early or even really points worthy at this point.
Don’t rule Geelong out.He's going home to Adelaide. Thankfully.
I like Caleb Daniel. We should enquire for sure as we need good kickers off half back. Not sure on Macrae as he seems slow and we have enough slow midfielders.If Rioli, Baker, Bolton and JGTI all leave (and their salaries), I would look at trying to get one of Jack Macrae or Caleb Daniel from the Bulldogs to give some experience and disposal quality whilst all the the draftees are coming up to speed.
every player that has a whisper of leaving...Don’t rule Geelong out.
Why would we accept a future 2nd when pick #20 is in GC pocket that will get consumed by the lombard bid
GC also have academy picks next year that will require picks
yeah it would be crazy to have all our eggs in one basket.Because we also got to be concious of how many picks we have this year. If we were to get 22 for Graham, then also knowing we are gonna be down next year and need some draftees into that draft, why not look at getting some picks into next year. Just a thought.
wouldn't mind looking into the callum Brown situation...I like Caleb Daniel. We should enquire for sure as we need good kickers off half back. Not sure on Macrae as he seems slow and we have enough slow midfielders.
I'd also go after GWS Callum Brown - contracted for another year but not getting a game.
Unless he's injured, not sure, but super talented.
Imagine if.... Gold Coast need to do some salary cap dumping for now and especially for the coming 3 - 5 years.I love Rioli, have said many times, him leaving is the one that hurts me the most and I dont want to trade him, but he is a 28 year old HBF and we are bottom of the ladder.
I will deep throat tigs2010 hairy hobbit big toes if we get al 3 of those picks![]()
Pick 5,20 for Rioli, pick 30 and paying three quarters of his salary.
Pick 9,10 for Bolton
Pick 17 for Baker
Pick 22 for Graham
Pick 14 from Brisbane for points.
1,5,9,10,14,17,20,21,22
That is an absolute amazing draft hand in one of the deepest drafts we’ve seen for a long time. 9X picks inside 22. This is a draft with a genuine top 30 that are all very highly rated prospects.
Getting the pick of 9/30 is just wild. You are in a position to pretty much completely remodel your whole list based on one draft hand and comepletly fast track a rebuild.
I posted yesterday that we'll win 5 straight flags from 2030. Which of course was utterly ridiculous.Gonna be crazy here in a few weeks when Harley Reid wants out.
GC have plenty of points but no way a Lombard bid comes that late. He's a top-5 player in this draft, arguably top-2.Good Coast are also needing points of their own to bring match a Lombard bid which is expected to be mid to late teens currently.
No way would we do that.Agree I don't think we take more than 6-7 picks in the draft.
It's for that reason I can see us taking offers like 13 + Future 1st for Rioli as opposed to 5 + 21.
He kicked 5 in SANFL seniors on the weekend. He's certainly slid from being ranked close to top-5 coming into the year, but the lack of a national combine invite would be only because everyone knows where he's going. He'll attract a bid, but probably post-30.Adelaide don’t need points for Welsh anymore if draft watchers are correct. He’s slid down the rankings massively
Only got a state combine invitation
Unfortunately I think we're stuck with Short.Im thinking losing Baker Bolton Rioli Graham and probably Short has to be the plan to rejuvenate the list for the next tilt prior to tassie
