Congrats to Witter. He's been a massive win for Gold Coast since being trade. He had a huge year last year, and has had a good year this year.

We were never going to be able to play Grundy, Cox and Witts in the same 22. Witts is too good a player to spend his career in the seconds and Gold Coast are unlikely to play finals for the balance of Witts' career. So good luck to the bloke and I hope he leads the Suns to a memorable victory over the Demons this weekend.

The problem with that is that Cox is as good a ruckman as Witts, a better mark and a better forward.

Unless we were going to play Witts in his best position as first ruck and play Grundy forward, it was never going to work
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Who is a better pickup for the Suns from Collingwood?

Josh Fraser or Jarrod Witts?

I never saw him as leadership material, but maybe his development has grown significantly at the Suns.

Either way, all the best to him.
