In response to fan and media enquiries regarding the AFL’s assistance package to be provided to the Gold Coast Suns, Crows CEO Andrew Fagan has issued the following comments:

"Our Club acknowledges that it is in the best interests of the AFL and our sport more broadly to ensure all clubs are healthy and sustainable, and we support the need for an appropriate assistance package being provided to the Gold Coast Suns," Fagan said.

"We also understand the significant interest in our view on this issue given we were involved in a trade for a future first round selection which falls in the upcoming national draft.

"We have spoken with the League on several occasions in recent times and clearly and firmly expressed our view. Whether the allocation of a priority pick to the Suns has any impact on our Club is unlikely to be known until the national draft itself."

DRAFT ORDER: Every club's picks as they stand
