Definitely need to trade for Tarant now. Makes Kangas position even stronger

Everything Chol said was perfect! Sounds like Gold Coast have found a popular player who loves the club.

Thank you, Ralph.

Better than the pick we got for dual premiership player Ellis. Insane.
No that was a second round which came immediately after our draft pick. It's just that we won the flag so it ended up being end of second round as well. If we had have got a second round for Chol like we did for Ellis it would have been pick 26 or thereabouts.

But yes ultimately they are the same pick.

Well you can twist it around but in the simplest possible terms, the pick we got for Ellis was #44 which we used on Martyn.

Mitch Cleary saying that the AFL take into account the players age when deciding the compo, and that Chol is the youngest ever player to leave as an UFA due to him being delisted previously.

Yes age, (under 25), was a key factor and left the AFL with nowhere left to go :) after using Brando's age 26 against us.

I read North & Tigers want to trade early to unlock options elsewhere and aiming for a pick somewhere in between North's 2nd and 3rd round draft pick. Not sure how they get this done.

Chol will always be one of our 'might have beens' if only he showed consistent heart and the will to play hard and for four quarters. We will never know now but it appears we still have got a good deal for him.

I can't see how they do that without trading out their precious 20 which they don't want to trade. How will they get a pick around 30?

Wow end of 2nd round, thanx AFL (y)

SUNS OFFICIALLY LAND TIGERS TALL

Meanwhile, Richmond receives end-of-second-round compensation for the departure of free agent Mabior Chol to Gold Coast. As of now that pick falls at 38.
A third-round pick, which was expected, would’ve fallen at 46.

His manager Ralph Carr has leaked his client’s move in what appeared to be the opening move of free agency, but took all afternoon to be made official.

As first reported by foxfooty.com.au last month, Chol had agreed to exercise his free agency rights and move from the Tigers to the Suns on a four-year deal.

Carr took to social media on Friday morning to confirm the switch, posting on Twitter: “Good luck Mabior Chol @GoldCoastSuns @AFL,” with an image attached of Chol in an official Suns club polo.

Chol played 31 games for Richmond since his debut in 2016, failing to appear in any of their three premiership victories and playing 21 games across the last two seasons.

The Tigers are also looking to broker deals with the Kangaroos involving Callum Coleman-Jones and Robbie Tarrant.

If we get 20 of CCJ not sure what we are going to do with all the picks. Perhaps we could trade some for next year's picks with an aim of moving up. Must be some clubs that will need picks or points this year.
