Gold Coast Suns appear as 2016 Draft Powerhouse

Re: Gold Coast Suns appear as 2016 Draft Powerhouse

Scouring through the first round and it opens up a potential heist.

- GCS demand pick 6 for Prestia and get it. They have 4, 6 & 8.
- Pick 5 Carlton & Pick 7 GWS. These two clubs are already trading on Marchbank, Stewart, Pickett etc.
- GWS take a slight hit and give two high end players for an upgrade from pick 16 to pick 5 (Carlton do well)

- GCS grab 4, 6 & 8 and GWS 5 & 7

- They have a formal agreement to not bid on each other academy players. They plunder 5 gun early rounders, and when the real clubs get picks and nominate their academy picks they pay using late first rounders for early first round talents.

They could rip the guts out of the first round of this draft and there's not a thing anyone can do but watch it unfold on draft night. I guess they'd like more late first round picks and points into the bank to still have plenty of points banked, I guess we could help for the right offer.

That's all assuming that the points system underrates early picks and overrates late picks. That may have been the case last year with the draft not being as deep and academy clubs accumulating unwanted later picks to pay for their players but may not be the case every year

I want to target their picks in the 20's. Great for them, but they can't keep drafting to develop players for the rest of the comp. May as well re brand them a University or Academy team.

Melbourne's are worse.

That's huge if they can keep the kids.

Plenty of good kids to be had on the cheap in a few years time

Funny because it's true. On their kids, what happened to the we completely stuffed up Tom Boyd and should've got Peter Wright movement?

Didn't know there was one.

In saying that, 2MP will be a damn fine player for them.

Speaking of draft picks, having not read many threads and not seen if there's been any discussion on it, I find it absolutely comical that Hawthorn's first pick in the draft is number 88.

Yep, I wonder how many rookie upgrades will make up their three picks from 88-105?

Or a delistee from another club perhaps?

You'd have to think there would be little left of any value at pick 88.

Good call. They traded their first and second contested ball winners, maybe they give Barlow a pick. Maybe even Mitch Brown for depth of anything happens to their better defenders.

I assume Brad Lynch being under a rookie contract can't be drafted?

If he's accepted an extension from us and hasn't nominated for the draft. From memory he had a one year rookie contract.

I seriously hope we offered and he accepted.
