that's cos there is no news yet.
Alastair has been offered a one year contract with the Lions but he is weighing up his options as he also has a couple of media offers to consider.
Pikey has been offered a one year contract as well but is still negotiating terms as he was not happy with the original offer.
Copeland - not heard a thing at this stage.

It's nearing the end of October and Lynchy hasn't decided. He usually doesn't take this long. Well he's probably decided but hasn't told the club yet. The longer he takes, the more of a chance he'll be in the media next year IMO.

Considering he was previously on a 10 year contract i don't see how you can come to any decisions based on how long he is taking to renew it.

I'm talking about retirement. The last 2 years he has thought about retirement and it's never taken him this long to do so.

Clubs have to submit their lists to the AFL NEXT Friday (31st October). Thus, it's not surprising that we haven't heard anything about these players.
Perhaps Pike, Copeland and Lynch will be let go. Or maybe the communications manager at the Lions just gone on holidays (where was her brother's wedding??), hence the lack of an announcement?

News flash guys Nicki Lepitsch hasn't been the communications manager for almost a year now. Started her own business in player management I believe.
..same problem. Doesn't she manage Robbie C now?
So if the wedding was local...I can understand Lynchy weighing things up...but can't understand why Copeland isn't secured and announced?
For all we know they all could still be up in the air, or they could be signed sealed and delivered.
Unless the player manager or player makes a media statement, then we won't know about. Club policy is that they will not make comment/send out media releases on player negotiations/contracts etc etc.
And also......didn't Copeland get married as well at the end of the season? He could just be waiting to finalise the details after the wedding/honeymoon.
notice on the tiger site they are talking about copeland being a tiger next season . hopefull i reckon

it hasnt happened just yet... but he will have to finalise it before the wedding if the list has to be in by 31st october
obviously alot of things on the mind as such a time...

It would go without saying that messers Macmahon and Macgurie would be mounting a pretty strong case against the Lions cap extensions IF they chose to get rid of a local country Qlder, who is a good player.I can't believe the club would be so stupid as to delist him. I can't imagine any argument they could come up with to justify it, let alone use the old and tired not enough money line.
