Brisbane will have two hard nut mids from Carlton. Cant wait for the media to go on about that next year.

We won't have any trouble getting picks in the 15-30 range. We only need two for the Academy and Aish, Redden and Leuenberger are all likely to get us a pick somewhere in that bracket.
I suspect this will be a deal done fairly comfortably by our clubs. We'll look to give you our lowest second rounder and you'll want our highest but it won't be difficult to reach a compromise.

We've got a good one in Sav. Very few players who have been better exponents of all forms of AFL kicking, with the added bonus of moving across to the NFL to experience and entirely new knowledge base.
Happy with Sav's goal kicking Masterclass but surely someone can hit the nail on the head for disposal around the ground play?

Punting in the NFL, particularly punting into your 20, requires accuracy on a level far beyond field kicking. Sav's combined knowledge would handle field kicking just fine.
Yet to see it in action though, Jimmae. e.g. T.Bell as the headliner in this thread.
Aish still undecided, which may leave Redden as a straight swap if Belly wishes to return to Brisbane, as Swann is alluding to.
Would that be an even enough trade if Redden would play in VIC & for another lowly team?

Should he be on radio saying that considering Bell is contracted for next year?
It seems the player exodus is a good reason for us getting a PP.
Sounds fair, hopefully Brisbane are reasonable to deal with unlike a couple of other clubs.
To be fair his quote was "Tom Bell we think will maybe make a request to come home, but he's contracted"
Same with Dangerfield. He has probably known for some time that he is leaving yet continued to play really well. Some players can hold their heads up.
Redden for Bell - yes please

Lions are generally good to deal with. Deal should be done without too much hassle you'd think.
The contract in place enables a fairer deal. They didn't open up the love for Mitch last year but slid in there as quick as possible after the trade period. Now he's worthy.
Fair enough. At least players want to go to Brisbane.
It seems to be one way traffic at our club at present.

Crazy Vossy approves this trade.
Chin up, we'll hopefully see it open up the other way once trade period begins. Patience.
No one that's worth worrying about. We'll have a big group of lads all roughly the same age growing together wearing the blue. Best way of building a list.
I suspect the club is keeping their cards very close to their chest at the moment.

The lack of regular drip-feeding from some of our 'connected' posters suggests that's the case.

That's a positive.
Could be a few surprises....

'Liam Jones' surprises or 'Buddy Franklin' surprises?
