Has Brisbane delisted anyone yet?
I heard during the trade period that Richmond were interested in a player from Brisbane by the name of Shane Morrison. The deal never eventuated but I would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on him and whether he will be delisted or retained by Brisbane (did he not say previously that he wished to pursue his career in Victoria?).
Cheers

C'mon guys, I hear the Tigers are sniffing around Morrison and Copeland. Any news on their status?

Brisbane havn't delisted anyone yet and I doubt we will delist anyone until we have Pike, Lynch and Copeland signed up.
At the moment, I can only see one delisting - Shane Morrison.
Jarrad Wright and Dylan McLaren might stay lucky.
And If Copeland doesn't sign, he'll be delisted aswell.

Okay boys settle down.....
Morrison - mobile tall forward, has good endurance and reasonable athletic ability. Bit of a question mark on his ability to play and play well at the top level. Not too sure where the Tiges see him fitting in.
Copeland - hard at it amd determined. I think he may struggle at a weaker club a la Barry Young. Very good one on one with opponents but needs help at times.
Both are handy footballers, but Morrison is more a bits part player.

Mate I feel u underestimate the ability of Robbie Copeland he is a very good 1on1 with a huge kick on him & a very good pair of hands loves the hard stuff his endurance is very good with great recouprative powers now knows how to intimadate & harass a player without giving away a free kick (used to be a weakness) unlike a certain player who did not play in the G\F who gives away 2 many 50 mt penaltys & who's disipline leaves a lot 2 be desired
Playing in a weaker team would not matter to Robbie as the above qualities do not go away if any they instill heart & desire into his teamates & I certainly hope he stays with the lions as he would be a very big loss to Brisbane
Geelong could do with Shane Morrison. He sounds like a handy pick up that we could have a dip at. After all he can play CHF and CHB.
Notting would also be a handy pickup for us as he could play as a n outside midfielder or a half forward flanker. He's a good mark and we could use his experience if he is available

Well he's out of contract at the end of next year I believe.

Agree wholeheatedly with that.
Did a good job on Buckley in the GF.
He's more than capable of playing a one on one role.
