Re: Gold Coast Suns appear as 2016 Draft Powerhouse

Apparently big, big offers coming from some Victorian clubs for Jaeger as well. GCS could even dominate the top 10 if JO & Prestia do leave.

Re: Gold Coast Suns appear as 2016 Draft Powerhouse

4, 6, 9, 21, 22, 25, 28, 32, 34 & 40 (indicative draft order on afl.com.au)

Could someone please enlighten me on how the hell did they get all those picks

Mostly through exchanging of picks in last years trade period. Eg. they traded picks 3, 10 & 43 to Melbourne in exchange for picks 6, 29 and Melbourne's first pick in 2016. They also picked one up in the Charlie Dixon trade.

Yes, the Dockers gave up picks 16 and 35 and gained pick 22 from the Suns

Yes but not relevant to the 2016 draft, there were no future picks involved.

Now add in at least one first rounder for Jaeger on top of this, possibly two. They could have 4 picks inside 10, 6 first rounders & 8 picks inside 28.

They need mature hardened players ASAP. Apart from an expected monster offer to Fyffe, I wonder if they still rate Jong very highly and rate the likes of Koby Stevens (or Honeychurch) highly. GCS might offer the best value for a trading partner this year. Best we give them a call.

Bit of a worry with Clayton using them.

Also a concern for any team who were chasing skinny flankers with questionable attitudes.

Re: Gold Coast Suns appear as 2016 Draft Powerhouse

Pick 4
Pick 6 (Prestia)
Pick 8 (traded for last year)
Pick 14 (Jaeger)
Pick 21
Pick 22
Pick 24
Pick 27
Pick 40 (which they may not even use)

Rumours or offers last year came from GCS for Jong & Hrovat. With Honeychurch possibly looking for more opportunities and GCS stating they need players and not picks, I hope we (JMac) are trying to be their best buds now with uncontracted players or players looking for more opportunities.

Personally I think Clayton has done a wonderful job in burying Gold Coast.

Can we petition for him to move to GWS too?

I think you can attribute most of GC problems to original setup, original coach and the bad culture created.
