Damien Hardwick

Aidan Schubert was "certainly a priority" once Ben King looked set to exercise his free agency, Gold Coast's Kall Burns said, a fit for Damien Hardwick's system. Sam Butler joins him from Hawthorn. "That was it for us." At pick 8, he expects "a really good player."

Scott Pendlebury is a Sun after Gold Coast completed a pick 65 deal with Collingwood. Kall Burns said he will "stiffen up our midfield" in a sacrificial midfield role and can also play forward and back, though Damien Hardwick and his coaches make the final call.
