How is this possible considering they are rumoured to be chasing Gov now

Losing Lynch and maybe May would give them heaps to play with

I read/heard that they pay overs to keep their players in Qld. So essentially the suns are paying more to keep their players from leaving, hence they are at 100% with an ordinary list.

Of course they are, draftees can't get away from Brisbane ( they've halted this, somewhat ) or the Gold Coast fast enough over the last 5 years.

The AFL keep backing it, the AFL keep wasting money, the AFL are slow learners who won't admit they're wrong.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

No, because they had the largest salary cap breaches in history to keep or attract players

Nothing like it at all, the Port Adelaide Football Club has been the Port Adelaide Football Club since 1870.

Anyway, you think Gold Coast should get more money to keep players because they are shit?

Have Port supporters been insecure about their history since 1870, or just since 1996?
