Shouldn’t have played the last 2 weeks.
Was brought back too early and should never have travelled to Perth

Neither does Gary Rohan and he's the recruit of the year.

Why do teams even bother naming positions in their thursday released lineups?
This week geelong has Miers (back pocket), Danger (wing), Hawkins (flank), Bews (full forward). Crows have Keath (ctr half forward).
Why are they taking the p155 with this? Just name it correctly.

You honestly don't know why?

First goal betting? They're not fooling anyone though are they.

When it comes to Geelong, their 4th listed emergency will end up starting on the ball, it's big business and they are top, if it's working for them well fair enough, I can see why clubs do it but on the same token the same opposition players are going to go to who they researched all week.

Gold Coast to apply for a priority pick at start of draft.
I think they should get it but it wont help them long term. I see W Carey suggested giving them the pick and then forcing them to trade it for a star player, that sounds like making up rules as you go.
The only way for that club to have success is for them to have better player retention, perhaps they could draft/recruit with that in mind, i.e perhaps passing over a more talented player for someone percieved to be more loyal (risky though).
Realistically how will they ever be successful? Its not like the NBA where you can trade in 3 blokes and turn the side around completely.

It's a problem the AFL won't admit they've got.

That only worked for so long, I can't believe how much they struggle retaining players, it should be the destination club for many young blokes, who wouldn't want to live on the Gold Coast in your early 20's?

Surely you just cut your losses and give them the arse and focus on a Tassie team?

The chatter last night was they look to be getting pick 1 and possibly pick 2 as a priority. Two of the best talents in the draft are very good mates and if they could get both it might help retain them. There was a school of thought last year that Brisbane getting Lincoln McCarthy helped them land Lachie Neale as they are very good Mates.

I’d presume most of this young blokes don’t want to do the hard yards and play for a rabble despite the attraction of living on the Gold Coast. If they were semi competitive and maybe were a middle of the road side they would have more luck retaining players but there is absolutely no light at the end of the tunnel in sight for the Suns. Can see them being bottom 2 for many years to come

Weren’t Lukosius and Rankine mates?
Plenty of talk Lukosius will walk ASAP

While Tasmania would perhaps be a better fit financially it doesn't ensure the side gets better on the ground.

18 clubs is two to many, the talent is spread too thin and the standard of footy today shows that. Although the Cats coach reckons the skills "are better than ever", lol, maybe at training!

And here is Gill the Dill looking at increasing it to 20 sides in the next few years

I don't think the AFL should dish out priority picks in the first round. It compromises teams like the Crows who did that deal with Carlton last year knowing if they finish last they get pick 1. Completely unfair then the AFL decides to give pick 1 to the GC. You would be filthy & very hesitant to trade for future first round picks in the future.
