Gold Coast’s GM of List & Strategy Craig Cameron has declared picks No.1 and 2 aren’t off the table, but it would take something “extraordinary” to move them on.
The Suns will have the first two selections in this year’s draft as part of the AFL’s rescue package to help the struggling club.
Oakleigh Chargers pair Matt Rowell and Noah Anderson remain likely to join Gold Coast with the opening two picks, but Cameron is open to trading the prized selections for the right player.
“They (picks 1 and 2) aren’t off the table,” Cameron told Telstra AFL Trade Radio.
“The players at the top of this year’s draft I think are exceptional players, so it would take something extraordinary to move those selections. But it would be silly of us to say they’re off the table.
“We’ve got to look at all ways we can to improve our football club. I haven’t had too many calls on them as yet, but they’re not strictly off the table, it would just have to be something extraordinary.”
The AFL granted Gold Coast the first pick of the second round in the 2019 draft, a mid first-round pick in the 2020 draft and the first pick of the second round in the 2021 draft.
They also have extensive academy player access in the Darwin region for the next three years.
