2011 Trade Talk (not draft talk) #2

[T Rick]

OK.. The crows have now recruited Lewis Johnston aswell as Tom Lynch! That's two highly rated KPP youngsters. Surely, surely tippett is gone? Also, i wouldn't have minded getting Lewis Johnston!

Pick 30 would be fair wouldn't it?.

Brisbane have not given up hope of striking a deal with Adelaide for the Crows' star big forward Kurt Tippett, who wants to return to his home state of Queensland.

Tippett, 24, and 203cm, would be an ideal Clark replacement.

But Brisbane have confirmed 21-year-old, 196cm Hawthorn key position player Jordan Lisle is also on their radar.

I'd say Tippett is still very much on the agenda.

Would prefer 29 or Reddan but yeah 30 would be about right I think.

Deal 29 and Redden for Buddy and Lisle But Yeah I thought that would be fair Would be worth more if he played more games.

Even as a joke, I wouldnt make that trade haha, Redden is worth so much to us, id rather keep him than get buddy!

 

[Harry Haller]

The Crows securing Lewis Johnston surely suggests that they're prepared to let Tippett go to an extent. Going to be an interesting few days.

Is there a source for the Johnston comment?

Jordan Lisle to Brisbane is as good as done. They're just deciding which draft pick it'll take. Might take until Monday but will go through.

That's great need, Lisle must have been keen.

*Waits for Barrett or Hutchy to 'report' that we have traded our second rounder and compensation pick clearly paying overs and bring up the 2009 trade week.

Does anyone think that Brendon Whitecross from the Hawks would be interested in coming home??? And do you think his role as a defensive forward would work at the Lions?

27 would be more like it; big kid with plenty of improvement in him. Gave Chris Dawes a bath in his second game. Not first preference for the coaching staff but wants more playing time.

Asking for anything higher than that is likely an ambit claim. We still one more fish to fry and Jordan will likely stay at Hawthorn if a deal can't be struck.

He's not up for trade. Very good season and much is expected of him.

Pick 34 for Lisle is the deal from what I hear.

Like Mess, I'd prefer 27, but 34 seems more likely for mine.

Emma Quayle Twitter - The Lions have offered Lisle a three-year deal. Good chance for him to get some senior action.

Good to hear.

I reckon if this is true, then this is a great get....

While somewhat ambiguous, the quotes from Kerr in this article seem to indicate that we're not going to get Tippett (this year).

But Kerr is confident a quick resolution can be reached with Black and several other uncontracted Lions, particularly now the club's push to secure Adelaide's Kurt Tippett appears lost.

"We were making a serious pitch for Kurt through the trade period and as a result of that we needed to maintain some flexibility within our salary cap," Kerr said.

"There were a few players who we expressed that to. Now we know our position, we will be tying those things up."

Buggar! At least we get to keep the farm then.

10am I was told it was 29.

If it was 34 I'd be disappointed. No idea why for the sake of five slots, but I would.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Had a think about it and I'd be happy to give up 29 for Lisle, he is ready to play back or forward and suits our needs and developing list perfectly.

Classic.

Would appear beyond any doubt really that Tippett isn't coming this year. Unless Kerr's either lying, playing hard ball with Adelaide (very unlikely he'd do it like this, barely even works), is confused, or there will be a late play by the Crows. Can't really see any of those being true. I reckon we found out yesterday afternoon when Clark said Freo or PSD that we weren't getting Kurt, and that was when Lisle became the target. Hope we pick up an absolute star with pick 8 and in 10 years we can all look back and be thankful we didn't trade it for Tippett.
