Given how our best performers skews young if trade cost is some draft picks they wont be missed
Contract expense harder to gauge
Gold coast have a bunch of picks already and seeking ready to go players
Obviously players have to agree to a trade plus an overlap of being expendable to us but having value for gold coast
They want small forwards, Wicks perhaps, konstanty? Lloyd, even Vickery or Mitchell might be of interest, ladhams if we reckon mcandrew(& McLean/amartey) can cover till green gets up to speed.
If Rioli does want to join gold coast maybe we could make it a multi club trade, Richmond could use some alternatives to draft picks with the amount of turnover they look to be having, players would accept a trade there

If Richmond have a mass exodus than i wouldn't mind having a look at Balta but thats realistically a pipe dream
Francis is easy but we need to trade Ladhams out, even if it's next year's teaspoons.
Steele past his best. Khamis more interesting but does he have a higher ceiling than Edwards or Snell? Of course we don't know.
Still don't know why we haven't used Hamling. If he's third in line next year and Edwards 4th that might be enough.
Barrass is just trying to get what WCE promised him. He won't go anywhere.

Hall of Famer
I follow Gold Coast very closely. Lukosius is a very underwhelming footballer and the Suns will make off like bandits if they get anywhere near what people seem to think he's worth.
I'd prefer Ryan out of those two. Would be cheaper and is a previous All-Austtalian. Luko hasn't shown anything to suggest he'll ever reach that standard.
Don't think either are what we need though. Hayward's our medium forward and he's better than both of them at the moment. Parker and Heeney can play a similar role and are also better than both of them.
If we were looking to improve our forward line, a contested marking KPF would be the only thing worth looking at IMO.

Agree.
Mills and McInerney can also play that HF role as well so it isn't a desperate need.
As far as I know there are no readymade KPFs on the market so I hope we are able to get a good one in the draft and that Buller comes on.
He doesnt need to get anything from them tho? he is contracted till 2027
You can see why the recruiters have tried to go for even just a good KPD the last few years, it is hard to get one.
Once Rampe calls it a day... those are going to be some big shoes to fill.

Pretty clear we need a decent Key Back and Key Forward.

Key forward I'm not too concerned about yet. There's improvement left in McDonald and hopefully Amartey too. A key back is looking more and more like a must. Also could use another small, pressure forward.

Ports list manager copped a bit for how hard he went for Zerk-Thatcher and Ratugolea but you can see why he was so keen for them. Just hard to find a good tall back

AFL premiership hero reveals full extent of terrifying ‘forever’ injury
The 28-year-old admits he was ‘very lucky’ not to become a quadriplegic, just months after his second son was born.

Said this a few months ago and was laughed down, but I would genuinely look at taking a risk on Tom Lynch.
Maybe we overpay a bit in the trade and richmond pay some/all of his salary. But I think it would be a risk worth taking and if we got him fit, he would be a massive upgrade in the forward line.
Whether he would want to move interstate is another question.

Isnt his body breaking down tho?
It would be a risk.
But I think Richmond have mismanaged him really badly this year though.
At least we know that when he is healthy, he is still really good. As he showed against us earlier in the year.
Probably have to offer what minimum 3yrs to get him to move over?
