High-pressure Lion wants new dawn at Suns (Callum Twomey, AFL.com.au, 29/09)

BRISBANE forward Tom Berry is set for a cross to state rival Gold Coast after requesting a trade to the Suns.

Berry, the younger brother of Lions star Jarrod, is out of contract and has struggled to break into the Lions' team consistently this season, playing only three games in 2022.

AFL.com.au revealed the Suns' interest in Berry this week and it is understood he informed the Lions of his desire to be traded to Gold Coast for more opportunities as the Suns search to add to their small forward ranks.

The Suns will lose gun small forward Izak Rankine to Adelaide but have also been in the market for a pressure player, with Berry's speed and tenacity a key part of his game.

"We see Tom coming in to be a pressure forward for us. We're a side that obviously likes to keep the ball in our forward half and can see that Tom would come in and really assist us in that. He's an ultra-competitive player, he's got good speed and he loves to tackle so he has all the attributes as a pressure forward," Suns list boss Craig Cameron told Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio's Trade Exchange on Thursday.

"And he's a high-quality young man so we think he'd really add to our group."

Berry has played 20 games for the Lions since being drafted by the Lions at the end of 2018 and had been offered a contract by Brisbane.

Clubs have been looking at the Lions' depth players this season, with Deven Robertson having interest through the year but breaking back into the senior team for its finals series.

Roos join race for Sun, Dee looks north, Port key to Tiger deals (Callum Twomey, Riley Beveridge, Josh Gabelich, AFL.com.au, 29/09)

NORTH IN BOWES MIX

NORTH Melbourne is another club showing its interest in Gold Coast midfielder Jack Bowes and the Suns' pick No.7 combo.

The Roos have the salary cap space to accommodate Bowes' remaining two years of his back-ended deal with the Suns and are understood to be among the clubs keen to pursue the 24-year-old.

The 83-gamer will meet with a number of clubs in the coming days as he makes a call on where he wants to play, with Geelong, Essendon, Hawthorn and Brisbane also showing their interest in him. St Kilda, too, has looked at Bowes.

As revealed by AFL.com.au last week, the Suns have dangled pick No.7 in this year's national draft to create a market to take on Bowes and the early draft selection.

They will likely receive a future selection in return for the deal, which is not expected to be early in the draft, and a choice will be left in Bowes' hands where he wants to play in 2023.

FREE AGENCY WINDOW TO OPEN

BRISBANE could look to make a trade for Jack Gunston to offset the compensation pick that would arrive at the Lions if Dan McStay departed under free agency.

The free agency window opens on Friday and will run through to next Friday, October 7 and with it comes a range of possibilities as clubs look to manoeuvre the best possible results in terms of draft outcomes.

Gunston has decided to join Brisbane and could move there as an unrestricted free agent, but the Lions could also look to trade a late selection to Hawthorn to ensure it doesn't water down or cancel out the draft compensation they receive for losing McStay as a free agent to Collingwood on a five-year deal.

The AFL's compensation system uses a player's salary on the terms they have accepted as part of the new deal as well as other factors, including the player's age, to determine the banding of the compensation selection.

Given Gunston's age and shorter nature of the deal, clubs believe the Hawks might not receive any compensation for losing him, thus making a trade an option.

But the McStay move could also depend on Jordan De Goey's decision to stay at Collingwood or leave for a free agency offer at St Kilda. The Pies could choose to trade for McStay to protect a first-round free agency compensation pick that would come for De Goey if he departed but be diluted if McStay was an in and De Goey an out via free agency.

The AFL's free agency system sees compensation picks decided by the 'total net' of free agents, meaning clubs can prefer to do late draft swaps rather than lose their draft compensation.

AFL trades 2022: West Coast show interest in Brisbane Lion Deven Robertson, nephew of club great Darren Glass (Mark Duffield & Jordan McArdle, The West Australian, 30/09)

West Coast are keen on young Brisbane midfielder Deven Robertson, but face an uphill battle to convince the West Aussie to break his contract to come home.

Robertson, the nephew of former Eagles skipper Darren Glass, was in and out of the Brisbane best 22 this season at a club whose midfield will be bolstered by the addition of Western Bulldog Josh Dunkley next year.

The Eagles stand a strong chance of securing Robertson for one of the three draft picks they currently have in the 20s.

He would tick a number of boxes for the club. He has speed, plays midfield and while his disposal needs work he is seen as a player who would work hard at his craft with the potential to be a future leader.

It is the last of those traits that cuts to his strong character which is likely to make him hard to shift.

Robertson, 21, has played 25 games in three seasons for the Lions and only eight in 2022 after 16 in 2021. But he re-emerged in Brisbane’s best team at the end of the season, played in all three of their finals and is understood to have been re-assured by the Lions that they view him in their best midfield for next season.

He is contracted for next season and indications are he wants to see out the contract.

Speaking with The West Australian after the Lions’ stunning finals win over last year’s premiers Melbourne at the MCG this month, Robertson said he loved the club and a move back home hadn’t crossed his mind.

“I love it here in Brisbane. I see myself here for the long-term,” he said.

It comes as his close mate and fellow WA product Jaxon Prior inked a two-year contract extension to keep him at Brisbane until at least the end of 2024.
Robertson captained WA to a drought-breaking national under-18s title in his draft year in 2019, winning the Larke Medal as the carnival’s best player in the process.

He remarkably slid outside of the first round before Brisbane traded up to snatch him with pick 22.

After playing just four times during the regular season, the tough inside midfielder broke into the 22 ahead of the elimination-final win over Richmond and held his spot throughout September.

He was trusted with run-with roles on superstars of the competition including Richmond captain Trent Cotchin, fellow triple premiership hero Dion Prestia, Norm Smith medallist Christian Petracca and Brownlow Medal fancy Clayton Oliver.

“It’s a funny thing, you know,” Robertson said at the time.

“This year has been pretty frustrating for me. I’ve just been trying to get myself into the team all year and played a handful of games, then come finals time things have fallen in my favour.

“I’m just playing my role, it’s nothing special. I’m not trying to go out there and be among the best players.”

First domino set to fall in Brisbane's bold off-season strategy (Callum Twomey, AFL.com.au, 02/10)

BRISBANE could unlock a key piece of its trade period strategy on Monday with Dan McStay's free agency move to Collingwood expected to become official.

The Lions are hoping McStay's five-year deal at the Magpies will result in an end-of-first round compensation selection (No.19) from the AFL. If not, it will come after their second-round selection, meaning the pick will be No.35, with a player's age a key factor in determining compensation.

The pick difference is significant for the Lions given their busy Continental Tyres AFL Trade Period as they look to land a deal for Western Bulldogs midfielder Josh Dunkley as well as accumulate enough draft points to match bids on father-son pair Will Ashcroft and Jaspa Fletcher.

The Lions are also looking to bolster their points tally by trading in multiple second-round selections.

A similar deal to McStay's in 2019 saw Brandon Ellis join Gold Coast from Richmond, with the Tigers given a second-round compensation selection on that occasion.

The exit of McStay as a free agent means the Lions are likely to trade for free agent signing Jack Gunston so they avoid diluting their free agency compensation for McStay, who is being eyed as a forward for the Magpies who can also play in defence if required.

If Jordan De Goey had accepted a free agency offer from St Kilda, Collingwood would likely have traded for McStay. However, the free agency move will now go through as planned.

"Dan's been at the Lions for nine years and has had a really good run there," McStay's manager Nick Gieschen from Connors Sports Management on AFL Trade Radio on Friday. "He was really open-minded at the start of the year and just wanted to focus on footy with the Lions being so close to the finals, and his goal was to win a flag.

"But as the season unfolded and having chats with his partner and family, the idea of coming home to finish his footy in Melbourne was appealing. He's been away from home since he was 17 so I think he wanted to finish his career playing in front of family and friends.

"There was a bit of thought maybe earlier in the week depending on Jordan's situation that it may have been a trade. But it looks like now that Jordan has decided to stay, (McStay) will be a free agency move."

Bulldogs list boss comments on Lobb and Dunkley trades plus Jones and Cordy free agent moves (Lachlan Geleit, SEN, 03/10)

On Josh Dunkley’s trade request to Brisbane

“We’ve had some initial discussions with Brisbane at this stage.

“We really wanted to keep Josh and offered him a long-term contract that we thought was really compelling.

“He’s a fantastic player … best and fairest winner and premiership winner at the club but his desire is to get to Brisbane if he can.

“We’ll work in good faith with Brisbane to hopefully sort of reach an outcome.

“But with how highly we rate Josh and the player he is we expect compensation for what he displayed this year and across his career.”

The Western Bulldogs and Brisbane remain some distance apart on a deal for Josh Dunkley to the Lions, with Brisbane offering their future first-round pick for the midfielder who won the Dogs’ best and fairest last week. The Western Bulldogs point to the trade of Taranto to Richmond as a comparable player and the compensation GWS received.

Magpie McStay: Lions tall timber joins Pies as free agent (Josh Gabelich, AFL.com.au, 04/10)

COLLINGWOOD has officially signed Brisbane key forward Dan McStay after a long pursuit of the unrestricted free agent.
Click to expand...

Brisbane will receive a second-round compensation pick, which currently sits at No.35.
Click to expand...

The Lions had been hoping for an end-of-first-round selection from the AFL – due to the size of Collingwood's contract offer – that would have helped strike a deal with the Western Bulldogs for Josh Dunkley, as well as amass more draft points to land father-son prospects Will Ashcroft and Jaspa Fletcher.

Brisbane list manager Dom Ambrogio and Western Bulldogs list manager Sam Power are expected to take time to thrash out a deal for Dunkley, who was recognised for a career-best season with the Charles Sutton Medal last Wednesday night as the Bulldogs' best and fairest.

The Lions are also set to land triple premiership Hawk Jack Gunston between now and next Wednesday night with the club likely to trade for the 30-year-old to avoid cancelling out their compensation for McStay.

AFL: Gary Buckenara analyses the Western Bulldogs’ list after 2022 season

TRADE BAIT

Josh Dunkley wants out for the second time in the last couple of years so you have to wonder just how happy he has been there.

It will be a blow for them but sometimes as a club you just have to say let’s facilitate that and get the best deal we can.

Josh is a really good player, he is a great ball-winner and is tough as nails.

My knock on Josh sometimes and the reason why he isn’t an A grader for me is that his disposals can be a bit ordinary.

A bit like his old man, who I coached at Sydney. I watched a lot of videos of him and I said to him “mate I’ve been watching a lot of these videos of you and I don’t know if you are a left-footer or a right-footer” and he said “I don’t know either”.

And that worried me so I said to him he needs to be a really good handball player.

Josh isn’t like that but he isn’t the greatest user of the footy and if I’m a list manager I’m rating that highly especially in today’s game.

Sam Edmund: Expect a third-round pick to be involved in a Brisbane-Hawthorn trade for free agent Jack Gunston. Lions obviously protecting free agency compensation for Dan McStay & Hawks have already acquired Karl Amon, which affects any compo return for Gunston.

AFL Trades 2022: Follow all the moves on day three of the exchange period (Jay Clark and Marc McGowan, Herald Sun, 05/10)

COULD GIANTS PICKS GET DUNKLEY TO LIONS?

– Marc McGowan

Brisbane and Greater Western Sydney have agreed on a deal that could help the Lions’ pursuit of Western Bulldogs midfielder Josh Dunkley.

News Corp can reveal the Lions were shopping pick 15 to rival clubs and have found a trade partner in the Giants, who will send them No.21 and a future second-round selection in return.

The trade is awaiting AFL approval but is expected to get the green light.

Brisbane now has more flexibility to trade future picks, with league rules preventing clubs from trading a future first and second-round selection unless they bring an extra one in.

The Bulldogs want two first-round picks from the Lions for Dunkley.

Three-way trade floated for JHF, Giants want more, Sun stays (Callum Twomey, Riley Beveridge, Josh Gabelich, AFL.com.au, 05/10)

LIONS SECURE DRAFT BOOST

BRISBANE generated close to 700 extra draft points on Wednesday, completing trades with Greater Western Sydney and Gold Coast to bolster their hopes of covering early bids for father-son jets Will Ashcroft and Jaspa Fletcher.

The Lions secured the 21st selection in a pick-swap with the Giants, before landing picks No.25 and 36 in a deal forecast by AFL.com.au that sent forward Tom Berry to the Suns.

Brisbane also received a future second-round pick, tied to Collingwood after a trade for Bobby Hill, in its pick-swap with GWS. It then sent that 2023 selection, alongside pick No.46, to Gold Coast as part of the Berry trade.

The additional 694 draft points, which are essentially the equivalent of pick No.27, will help the club match a bid for potential No.1 pick Ashcroft. Fellow father-son prospect Fletcher is also considered a possible top-15 selection at November's national draft. – Riley Beveridge

Inside haggling over Hawks star’s worth; next steps in Dunkley deal: Lions trade whispers (Ben Waterworth, Fox Sports, 06/10)

“We moved some picks around to put us in a better position to do all those deals and obviously we’ve got some considerations when we get to draft time with the father-son boys,” Lions list boss Dom Ambrogio told 3AW’s Sportsday on Wednesday night. “The fact we’re going to have to go in carrying some points, I don’t think that’s a mystery for anyone

“Clearly that was the motivation behind doing what we did (on Wednesday) and obviously Tom Berry finding a new home at the Gold Coast Suns.”

Now that the Lions have added more points to their arsenal, Lions football boss Danny Daly indicated on AFL Trade Radio on Thursday the club would next work closely with the Hawks on a suitable deal for Gunston, who’s requested a move to the Lions.

While Gunston is eligible to join Brisbane as a free agent, the Lions are keen to acquire the triple premiership Hawk via a trade to ensure their McStay-related compo pick isn’t diluted.

“We definitely need to look at all those avenues,” Ambrogio said.

“We’ve had some preliminary chats with the Hawks about that, so that’s something we’ll explore to see if we can come up with something that’s mutually beneficial.”

Asked if a pick in the 30s would get a Gunston deal done, Daly paused before telling AFL Trade Radio: “Potentially … maybe even a bit later, hopefully. Hawthorn want more, we want to give less … but it’s around about that mark, you would’ve thought.”

Brisbane had a big win last month when off-contract Bulldog Dunkley turned down significant offers from the Western Bulldogs and Port Adelaide and requested a trade to the Lions. He’s set to sign a six-year deal at Brisbane, reportedly worth between $700,000 and $750,000 per season.

The Dogs are likely to seek a first-round pick for Dunkley, who won the club’s best and fairest award and polled more Brownlow votes than any other Bulldog this season after a career-best 2022 campaign.

“We’ll still work on trying to split a couple of picks,” Daly said.

“We’ve got a good array of picks with 21, 25, 34, 35 and 36. If we can hopefully split a couple of those along the way and get some more points, we can really hone in on the Dunkley deal and get these discussions going.”

West Coast is reportedly eyeing a move for Brisbane’s Deven Robertson, who worked his way into the Lions’ side during the finals series as a defensive option.

Robertson is the nephew of Eagles great Darren Glass and was viewed a future leader even during his draft year.

There’s a view the 21-year-old could be forced out of the Brisbane midfield by the arrival of Dunkley and Ashcroft.

But Ambrogio stressed Robertson was “very much a required player with the Lions”.

“Your only need to watch his finals series to see how valuable he is as a player to us with his defensive intent and his toughness and his two-way running,” Ambrogio said.

“We’re really keen to retain him because we think he’s got a very bright future for us.”

Daly also confirmed fringe Lions midfielder Rhys Mathieson was open to exploring a trade, despite being contracted to Brisbane for another season

“His manager did indicate to us earlier in the week that he may be open to (a trade). But as yet we haven’t been given anything official by his management or Rhys,” Daly said.

“Tom Berry was in the same boat. We’d love to keep these guys and they’re good people for us, but we also understand they want opportunities.

“At this point he hasn’t asked for a trade. But if he was to do that, we’d have a chat with him about it and we’d work through what the best situation is for the club and for Rhys.”

Here's the Trade Radio interview with Daly from this morning and Sportsday interview with Ambrogio from last night in a less irritating format than tweets.

Bulldogs willing to walk Dunkley into the open market as Brisbane talks stall (Sam Edmund, SEN, 06/10)

Josh Dunkley’s move to the Brisbane Lions is on life support less than a week out from the end of the trade period.

It can be revealed the Western Bulldogs are prepared to let Dunkley go through to the pre-season draft, such is their frustration over a lack of progress with the Lions on a suitable deal.

There had been discussions around Brisbane offering pick 15 and a future first round pick. The Lions will finish at the pointy end next year too mind you. The Bulldogs weren’t thrilled with that.

But the Dogs are aware the Lions don’t have access to more than that and what you’ve got is what you’ve got. It’s not ideal for the Dogs, but let’s move on.

The Lions also wanted the Dogs’ two second-round picks back (30 and 39). It came with a massive cost back the other way. Plus a future third.

The Dogs were staggered. The Lions said if you don’t take it we will trade 15 out.

The Dogs point to Tim Taranto as the example. Taranto was traded to Richmond for 12 and 19. They think Dunkley is worth at least that, worth even slightly more given what he’s achieved to date.

But the Lions said no. They need the points to be able to select Will Ashcroft and Jaspa Fletcher in the draft.

The Lions are in a delicate position and opted to trade out pick 15.

And we are back to square one here on this and some frustration is attached.

Two first-round picks, even reasonably late, gets it done for the Dogs. Depending on how close the Lions can claw 21 back to 15, but the Dogs aren’t going to give anything back.

The Lions said, ‘We’re giving you what you want’, and the Dogs are obviously saying, ‘No you’re not’.

The Lions might try and nudge 21 up a bit, but the Dogs feel they’re being taken for a ride. And Brisbane think they will fold.

The Dogs last night sat down and are now committed to getting nothing in return if it gets to that. Dunkley would go into the open market.

“It’s very real” – a Dogs source said.

That stance is part principle and part anger of the fact Brisbane haven’t come close to being reasonable with this in their mind.

If he slides through he’ll be open to the market, but the Dogs haven’t given up hope of taking him back. They’re more than happy to call his name out if he wants to come back.

There are a few days to go and some water to go under the bridge, but the Lions wanting their cake and to eat it too has made this trade enormously difficult.

The Dogs are irritated that the Lions knew all year these kids were coming through and they haven’t adequately prepared for that and yet have committed to Dunkley.

The Dogs are happy to make hay with what the Lions have – or had – in terms of first-rounders, but the massive caveat of wanting second-rounders back has this deal up on blocks right now.

Albeit, there remains time for the two parties to sort out the deal.

Dogs, Lions at impasse over Dunkley, pre-season draft looms (Callum Twomey, AFL.com.au, 06/10)

THE WESTERN Bulldogs will continue to chase two first-round picks for Josh Dunkley after Brisbane traded out its early pick for more draft points on Wednesday.

With less than a week to go before next Wednesday night's Continental Tyres Trade Period deadline, there is little progress on a deal that would send Dunkley to his nominated new home at the Gabba, with the pre-season draft a growing possibility.

The Lions traded their pick 15 for No.21 in a swap with the Giants on Wednesday, before landing picks No.25, 36 and 56 in the deal that sent Tom Berry to Gold Coast. The Lions also received a future second-round pick from the Giants but traded it, alongside pick No.46, to Gold Coast.

The move gave them nearly 900 more points to match father-son bids on potential No.1 pick Will Ashcroft and fellow first-rounder Jaspa Fletcher, but it leaves the Dunkley discussions at an impasse as the Dogs push for two first-round picks for their best-and-fairest winner.

The Lions put forward pick 15 and a future first-round pick for Dunkley but were keen to get picks 30, 39 and a future third-round pick back, which would have seen them essentially splitting for points as well as getting Dunkley.

They look most likely to hold pick No.21 until draft night when they can trade it out for more points if a bid comes on Ashcroft at No.1.

Tim Taranto's trade price for his move from Greater Western Sydney to Richmond – which cost the Tigers picks 12 and 19 – could set the level for the Dogs. With the Lions predicted to again be in the premiership race next year and potentially two first-round Academy bids shaping next season, that pick would be expected to be between 15-20.

With Brisbane's hand of selections now skinnier, the Bulldogs could enquire about Lions players to form part of the deal. Whilst established players would be unlikely to make any move, the Dogs could look at younger players recently drafted who are of first-round value.

Brisbane, however, is not prepared to deal players to land Dunkley.

If a deal is not reached, Dunkley would have to head into the pre-season draft in his bid to get to Brisbane, but Brisbane football boss Danny Daly said on Thursday the club was confident it would reach an agreement.

"We feel like we're on track to get the deal done at some stage, but out of respect for the Dogs I can't go into what that looks like at the minute. We're working towards that at the minute and hopefully it will all be ticked off in the next few days or so," Daly told AFL Trade Radio.
