Season 2016 - Gold Coast

Lol news that Ablett wanted to return to Geelong. This club is a disaster. Does anybody want to play for Gold Coast?

The players who didn’t ask to be traded and those that re-signed their contracts?

Doesn’t leave very many players then

They lost:
O’Meara (who hasn’t played for two years)
Prestia

They gained:
Hanley
Lyons
Witts

Ablett enquired if he might be traded but was told no and that was that.

Not really the end of the world everything thinks it is.

If they’re genuinely trying to build a culture they would’ve jettisoned him then, there’d be an argument to make that he’s been one of their biggest problems.

You know you have done something wrong when you can’t convince guys in their early 20s to stay on the Gold Coast

You realise the Ablett story is just a diversion to deflect attention from the JOM trade

The two outs are two of their young guns. Two of the ins are someone who left Brisbane but didn’t want to leave the state and the other couldn’t even get a game in front of a guy who picked up a football for the first time 6 months ago.

They have good picks now, hopefully for their sake these guys stick around and they can build something.

Pffft. I’ll see your Ablett trade. And I’ll raise you a twilight grand final…any other offers?

there’s also a rumor floating around that Swallow is looking at having a surgery on his knee done that hasn’t ever been performed on an elite athlete (ie career basically over).
if this is true, combined with Ablett, they are well and truly rooted

China? Good Friday?

And don’t forget how the draw affects Collingwood’s finals chances and Buckley’s reappointment chances.

If they have a fit team they could be a handful in all honesty. It’s a shame they have a mediocre coach and no heart.

Fold Coast

Their spine is actually very good. They just lack the quality of players around that these days with some key departures and chronic injuries.

Their spine improved as soon as auld left

i struggle to name any GC players apart from ablett, swallow, lynch and that skinny kid who was meant to be the best player ever but has done bugger all

Doesn’t matter what happens from here, N Malceski deserves a lifetime of credits for his snap goal that broke Hawthorn hearts in 2012.

Lynch, Wright, Thompson, May is definitely nothing to scoff at

Jarrod Garlett just left the suns to go back to WA for family reasons. Another first round pick out the door.

Radio says he has to sit out next 2 seasons as he is still in contract. Wow, how is that club travelling?

The average career is under 4 years and this guy is happy to miss 2 years to not play for a club.

Yes, for family reasons, he made the request to break his newly signed contract knowing the rules. Must be some rough family issues.

I think the question was, you sure it’s what we are being told, not another AFL ‘retirement’
