2014 Trade/FA Discussions

Don't think ryder would enjoy Merrett being squirted all over his sausage on bread

The part of this post that doesn't sit quite right with me is the trade aspect - why are we giving up a second rounder for a player who would clearly have a sufficient reason to activate his 'get out' clause?

Expedience. Stop the whole thing going **** up because we get too cute and miss the trade window due to a court injunction.

A second rounder (if that is really all it will take) is an absolute bargain. Let's not urinate on their carcass.

Not doubting your info, but why we pre determine the value of a ruckman who is only 26, was a top 5 pick and would have I would think at least 6 teams biding for his services( port, hawks, pies, blues, north cats) as low as a second round draft pick, seems a bit strange even if leppa doesn't rate him. Just hoping that's bare minimum trade value and not starting point

Couldn't agree more. Get it done ASAP.

Angus beef and fine wine for Patrick tonight

Angus Johnson is actually being chopped up and served in a burger to Ryder.

Wow if Ryder takes his whack then I imagine it could start a flood of deals with ASADA... Why wouldn't the players want to get it finalised and over with.
ASADA aren't just going to give up regardless of Fridays outcome.

It's called the Angus McShit burger.

Storm has just hit the inner east. Barbecue is ruined!

Just saw that one on the radar - wondered about Ryder's first impressions of the "Sunshine State".

Trade over.

So Paddy coming to Brisbane Lions hinges on Leppa's steak cooking ability. I'll back him in. Medium Rare is the saftey chief #InLeppaWeTrust

Storm's over.

Trade's on!

 

[Dr Noodles]

Leppa will make it work.

If Ryder accepts a penalty (which is allegedly fundamental to the deal), then whole thing goes **** up anyway for Essendon. The other questions that this scenario poses is - what penalties will Ryder be offered by ASADA (this would be significant to know before we commit to him) and what most people seem to have forgotten is will WADA be satisfied with such an arrangement?

If Chrstie Leppa is involved in any way, Ryder is a lock. May as well start looking at property in Bulimba.

Some good childcare centres in the area too.

But BJ says it's an unethical barbecue...

I heard some of the education options were questionable?

Pretty sure this storm isnt real. It is just a planned media distraction to keep ryder out of the papers tomorrow.

ESSENDON’S Paddy Ryder will meet Lions officials in Brisbane tonight.

The Bombers ruckman was scheduled to arrive late this afternoon with his partner Jess McDonald, a Queenslander, for a barbecue with Lions football manager Dean Warren, coach Justin Leppitsch and CEO Greg Swann to hear their pitch for his much sought-after signature.
