The Gold Coast SUNS trade Izak Rankine, its Round Three Selection (46), its Future Fourth Round Selection (tied to Fremantle) to the Adelaide Crows for its Round One Selection (5), its Future Third and Future Fourth Round Selection.

I think that's a fairish deal.

Rankine was a high pick but hasn't shown he's certain to make it yet.

I always find it strange when a former #3 pick in a very strong early draft goes for less after a couple of years of pro development.

Crows have done ok. It's a buyer's market!

I know there's other pick swaps but the only one that ACTUALLY matters to both clubs is Pick 5.

In what world is Rankine worthy of pick 5?

A small, inconsistent, inflexible small forward who is lucky to net 10 disposals/a goal a game?

That's horrendous list management by Adelaide who have holes everywhere.

I struggle with Rankine but will acknowledge he did play some very good footy this year.
Potential upside is the main reason why clubs would consider him.

Rankine and Jackson, similar in age and original draft position.

One traded for pick 5 and some late pick swaps.

One traded for pick 13, future 1st (likely >10) and future 2nd with some pick swaps.

Which trade would you prefer?

For me it would depend if there was a player we REALLY wanted and could get with pick 5. It's a fairly even draft this year and next year's is meant to be a bumper crop so I'd take the second option. But if we thought there was a 'franchise' player in the top 5 this year then I'd take the first.

Also depends on the state of your list. For us we might value a more even spread of high end picks given we've focused so much into Darcy and JUH. I think most teams would prefer the pick 5 more often than not though

That's what pushed me towards the second option - getting MORE high picks rather than 1 top 5 pick. I feel we need to start creating some depth through the draft, particularly in the midfield.

I reckon the Rankine deal is better, however the dees may be able to package those up and get higher.

Yes that's true, not all drafts are created equal and if 5 is no better than 15 then you'd take the Jackson deal everyday.

[jazzadogs]

I agree that the Rankine deal is the better deal in most instances.

Think the demons would be looking on with envy, similar to how we wish Dunkley had chosen a better trading partner.

[bornadog]

Mega trade

[GVGjr]

Huge deal. It appears GWS are so keen to get Cadman and West Coast is targeting Gibney

[Scraggers]

I don’t understand how North have given up last year’s first round pick and this year’s first round pick for pick #2 and #3 (plus shrapnel). Surely they lose on this deal
