gold coast flowered up when they got bock, brennan, brown etc. by the time swallow and bennell are really good the old guys will be retired. in 4 years gws will have 30 of the BEST players in the afl and the average age will be around 23. we could win 7 flags in a row. your the flower pot if you cant see that

Stop growing potato's in a flower pot, firstly they won't be able to afford to keep them all they will do Tippett's, Skully's and Ablett's and leave for money, and it is clearly tanking, they will hardly be competitive for two three years instead of trading picks and young talant for senior players they are greedy and want all the kids, but that is tanking, and surely not what idiot Demetriou had in mind when he set the system up!

Gossiboy, I reckon the Top 3 will be Whitfield, Grundy and Toumpas... O'Rourke will not go top 3, maybe in past years but with this crop he'll more likely go Top 6 or 7, cos there is Ollie Wines, Dayle Garlett, Sam Mayes, Ben Kennedy, Jake Stringer and alike, going to be an awesome draft though that's for sure

+1

i think whitfield, grundy, toumpas, daniher and maybe viney are the standouts of the crop so far.

the rest are obviously immensely talented but they are very similar players!

[Tominator]

What is wrong with the Gold Coast they will still be trading for 17yr olds when Ablett is in a wheel chair! Stupid flowering morons, just take the licence off them now!!

haha yeh but they will be a force in 5 years

GWS will be better

[gossiboy]

Definitely think Grundy will go to GWS with Giles on his way out.

Haven't really read up on prospects for this year apart from Whitfield, Viney and Daniher (go dons!) - is Toumpas an inside player? If he is then he should definitely go top 3, GWS need a hard nut inside player to really complete their midfield (which will be the best in the comp in 4 years). From what I have heard/read understand O'Rourke is more outside player and Stringer is a tall forward? Surely the Dogs would be insane to not pick Stringer with 5 or 6?

[Tominator]

Toumpas is more of an outside player off half-back but has already dominated SANFL and is more than capable of winning the contested ball in the midfield. If GWS have the top 3 picks they would be stupid to pass him up, but he has had hip troubles all year so that may put some doubt in their minds... Bit similar to how GC passed Heppell up cos he was injured that year

Wines is the best contested ballwinner of the guys I mentioned before, and yeah Stringer has kicked bags of 9 and 10 in the TAC Cup this year so he knows how to give defenders a bad time
