Re. Rockcliff - if he stays with the Lions would he then continue to live in Brisbane post footy? I assume so as he's built a house here. If he goes to port or whoever does he come back to live in Bris post footy?

Certainly not the opinion of any of the Trade Radio guys on the podcast they've just uploaded here: https://omny.fm/shows/trade-radio/nab-afl-trade-radio-podcast-september-27

Tony Sheahan.

Wouldn't surprise me if he had new one after he ruined his last meme account by forgetting to switch accounts before posting.

Just fyi as an experienced hand at reading trade news stories from year to year - all rumour Twitter and FB accounts are crap.

Adelaide radio station has rumour of gun player wants to go to Adelaide club, just what Adelaide audience wants to hear? Well, bend me over and grease me up.

Couldn't find grease. Margarine ok? Low salt Margarine?
Rocky rumours continue...

Port can have him if it's enough for band 1.

I wonder if you will be brave enough to come over here as often if he doesn't go to Port in the end?!

Well...Lions are my second team. Personally would rather him do an about face and stay a Lion.
You guys have lost enough and have some great kids on the rise.
Happy to cop flack if my source is wrong.

 

[MALTSY]

However...I do want Motlop. Victorian clubs are fair game.

I always find this time of year interesting as it is a test of the 'sources'!

On the one hand, after being with us during our worst years, going to a finals level team makes sense, but on the other hand going to a state where neither his nor his partner's family are (relevant when you have just had a baby!), and to a club where your ex-coach with whom you had several sizable run-ins is the midfield coach doesn't make so much sense!

From all reports already signed...

And most of them "nuff-nuffs" are forgetting that a restricted free agent contract can be matched by his club, which has right of first refusal over his services. If the unrestricted free agent does not wish to remain with his original club, he must enter the draft or seek a trade.

Edit: If both Rockcliff & Schache were to end up at Carlton under a trade it would explain why SOS was at Brisbane.. I've got a feeling something like this trade.. pick 3 to GWS Ryan Griffen and a later draft pick to Brisbane..

Who is SoS?

 

[WA Lion]

Who is SoS?

Steve Silvagni

 

[Football Pope]

Who is SoS?

Steven Silvagni...."Son of Serge:" (who also played for Carlton.) thus SoS

 

[Jivlain]

Fair bet we won't be taking any free agents e.g. Motlop (other than DFAs, I guess) if Rocky is leaving. We won't want to torch the compensation pick.

I can see why in a team that's there or there bouts he could do anything but a young club like ours he really looks like cancer
