Is there anything attractive about Gold Coast for a footballer apart form the lure of $$$$?

Tom Morris suggesting Adelaide will ask for pick 1 from the Suns for Brad Crouch.

Can only ask :lol:
If you consider the contract potentially on offer (5 x $1m) it makes sense to ask for it. Getting it is the hard part.

Bit different, one is generally a summer pastime, surfers tend to surf regardless of weather.

Even entering the Wines debate, if he was just water skiing he wouldn't have got injured, performing tricks at high speed, probably not so smart.

AFL will not allow GC to trade pick 1 for Crouch

They want GC to take best buds Anderson and Rowell with pick1 and 2


Would be a great deal for Adelaide though

And getting a "name" with their pick 1 would be perfect.

I reckon Brisbane Bears would have folded if they didn't move from the GC to Brisbane.
2 footy teams in QLD is not sustainable. Rugby will always be number 1.
I apologise.
