Still get 3rd pick instead of 8. Let's see how Stocker progresses in his career. A soft start although a foot injury did sideline him for a while.
Tony Braxton-Hicks
There are no stupid ideas, just stupid people
Anything that helps our Gold Coast Academy and hinders the clubs below us.
LOL that Melbourne now misses out on one of the wonder kids and Adelaide's pick from Carlton and Sydney now get pushed back too.
Will Adelaide get looked after too?? Maybe they should cos all their players want out after their *smile* poor management and performance since losing in 2017.
Fair Dinkum.
Oh well at least we'll be able to pinch another gun kid or two from that basket case in the next year or two.
Lukocious and King will leave next year so its a pointless and never ending cycle.

Lol I was thinking the same. We just need to get the Ellis’s and Miles to tell these guys how good the RFC is and plant the seed
Can we get the AFL (corrupt bastages) to allow us to nominate GC as one of our Academy zones?
Gold Coast's addition totally stuffed AFL up here. Unless the Lions are a top 4 team, there is nil interest. Local leagues & grassroot's is thriving up here - but the GC is a total joke.
I am actually all up for "resetting" the GC, but they actually need to do it properly. The teams name, logo, color - everything which gives the club its identity to new, young fans - is absolute rubbish. Getting the GC public to follow a team was always going to be hard - but naming them the Suns with their red/orange/yellow colors - there is nil imagination to it.
Reset & re-brand. Call them the Gold Coast Pirate or even just use the Sharks, something that will JUST target younger fans. As it stands they are the Suns and their logo, shirts and culture is *smile*.
For that to happen, it will require to admit they did it wrong. Meaning, there is no chance of it ever happening
They also have the worst song in the AFL and Port and Freo have awful songs, but theirs is putrid.
Makes no difference about how you play but the Suns is the most insipid name.
As some wise heads mentioned it would’ve been better aligining to the Southport Sharks but AFL too smart for that.
Which brings me to what I heard the Big Bash marketing guru talking about setting up the BBL teams and that they couldn’t be named after animals (hence Hurricanes, Renegades, Stars, Thunder, Heat etc) and it’s been the same in the AFL since 95, ie Power, Suns, Giants, Dockers,.
I wonder why?
So we could end up with nearly 3 picks in a row , don't we already have 38 & 39 ?
Intersting point about the team names as I was talking about this on the weekend.
The last teams to win a GF without an animal name is Port (2004) and the Bombers (2000).
Every other one has been an animal in that 20 year period.
