Following the retirement of Tom Nicholls and Brayden Crossley's positive drug test, Smith is an addition purely to add depth behind Jarrod Witts.

The return Gold Coast received for Ah Chee, headlined by a 2020 second round pick, is a positive return given he has struggled to play a consistent brand of football in his four years with the Suns. Ah Chee is yet another former top-10 selection Gold Coast have been unsuccessful in developing.

2019 Draft Picks: 6, 40, 59, 60, 80, 94

Grade: C

Rationale: The versatility of Tomlinson will be missed by the Giants, who were not adequately compensated given his effectiveness in his 73 games played over the past three seasons. Losing Patton for such a poor return is disappointing given how dominant Patton was in 2016 and 2017. While Aiden Bonar is not a required player long term as he does not project to be a best 22 player due to the sheer strength and depth of GWS' midfield, the return was disappointing for 2017's pick 11.

GWS' trade for Sam Jacobs filled the club's most pressing need and was a must following the retirement of Dawson Simpson and query over Shane Mumford's future, with the Giants in win-now mode.

GWS' trade up to pick 6 from picks 12 and 18 is a wise one, with academy prospect Tom Green likely to attract a bid inside the top-five. Once GWS get a feel for which club is likely to bid on Green, it would not be surprising if they offer a pick swap that involves pick 6 and GWS' 2020 first round selection to delay a bid on the academy product.
