    Yes they would replace 2 draft picks, however I'd be suprised if Gordon is promoted to the senior list

      Don't be too surprised...

            Exactly, in the past we've delisted players we've promoted mid year

              Gordon will be left on the rookie list and be upgraded if needed during the year.

              So as it stands we have picks 21, 39, 56 and 73. The last three have the potential to shuffl out a spot or two if any of th first round concession picks are activated. A pick further out will be used to promote Pyke.

              The past two drafts have seen 76 and 79 new players drafted, that does not include rookie upgrades, just players new to a teams senior list. Even given the GC arrival there's no reason to think that many more will be drafted this year so our last pick particularly is in the twilight zone.

              We currently are only minus Kirk & Thornton but plus Pyke so we only have one vacancy and need to find another three if we are to use all four picks. So that could be a combination of using one or two of the Vets outside the list positions and further delistings. Watch this space.

                I'll see you in the stands then. I live half an hour the other side of Carrara, am a paid up Sharks member this year and am considering taking out a GC membership next year. But I will also be there decked out in Red and White when they play the Bloods.

                  I am in a similar boat. I live in Coffs Harbour and it is about a 4hr drive to the Goldy (much shorter than the 6-7hrs to get to Sydney). I reckon I will be going to at least a few games at Carrara next year and as such the Suns will probably become my (distant) second team.
                  Hopefully the Swans play an away game there every year.

                    Thanks for the offer but I will only retire in June. In "Land of Smiles" till then. Yeah I feel positive about the Suns and you know they will get massive local support and such is the ex Victorian base there,there will be lots of interest in everything about them. GWS on the other hand, seems like an isolated AFL bubble in a hostile sea.It will take years to break through. We may as well have sent a team to New Zealand and built a base from nothing there.

Somewhere during the week something has transpired to give the Dogs a much later pick, did they owe us somehow for something?

                          They were meant to throw a little sweetener last year for Barry, but in the frenzy of the last day, it wasn't done. So perhaps this is the reason.

                            GWS won't be easy. It'll be generational. GWS marketing now is directed at kids who will be buying memberships 15 years from now. I heard someone from the AFL say a while ago that the AFL doesn't expect GWS to turn a profit for upto 20 years. Everyone thinks the AFL is going into this delusional but they understand they'll have to babysit the team for a long time if it's going to have any hope of having a long term future.

                            But until all their drafts blossom and they get bandwagoners, everytime we play them for their home game, it'll be like a bonus home game for us, just in Blacktown.

                              So, Craig Newitt played a blinder in the Legends game this year. A fitter bloke you couldn't get.

                                Vespa would have a hard time getting a game with the likes of Dennis-Lane playing so well. Obviously Bullies didn't think Everett fit their long term plan. Is he worth 2 players though? I hope he works out as we need to build on youth.
