Recommitted Jordan Ridley [UFA 2029] - name was floated for a move to Brisbane in 2025, stayed

[blueiris]

But we get their 1924 premiership cup too

The AFL don't count Fitzroy premiership not sure what the Bombers 1924 flag does

 

[blueiris]

Significantly better footballer.
Literally one of the best defenders in the game if only his body would stand up to the weekly rigors of the sport.

Lester is massively underrated on here

 

[Wild Bill]

Parish and Langford are probably too old to have much trade value. Last year was the time for that.

They are only 28.

 

[blueiris]

Up the offer to Draper to get us a 1st round compo. We pay that amount of Ridley's contract for the first year.

Then your future first and second.

Keep him he knows there's no future at the Bombers that's why he wants out

Two firsts and a second for an injury riddled player

One of those firsts is for an injury riddled ruckman.
The second first is for an injury riddled defender.
The second rounder is because you feel bad for us.

Another injury riddled medium defender, is Doedee being replaced?

We are on a mission to collect many versions of Doedees (injury prone gets you to the front of queue)

Lester is massively underrated on here

That's because he is an average footballer who occasionally does a great job on the biggest names in the competition but overall, he's a level below Ridley.

3KZ is Football you're needed here

 

[the big lebowski]

Bewick going to be our Nick Daicos and potential number 1 pick moment and the AFL want to heck off F/S from the first round

gagf AFL

You did get kako however from a mid season change of nga rules (allegedly to promote the numbers of indigenous players)

Ridley can't stay on the park Lester is consistency played on the best forwards and plays well

Let's agree to disagree on who the better player is

 

[Elixuh]

One of those firsts is for an injury riddled ruckman.
The second first is for an injury riddled defender.
The second rounder is because you feel bad for us.

The riddler wants to come to us on compassionate grounds. Best I can do is a future second and our 2013 nab cup trophy.

At Brisbane yes but Lester would struggle playing in a crap team he's that type of player

 

[blueiris]

Lester would struggle playing in a crap team

Like Ridley does at the Bombers

Actually you would pay 1 first next year and a second rounder for Draper and Ridley.

Lester had only managed 13 more games over Ridley by the time he was 26 years of age.

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Like Ridley does at the Bombers

Ridley was always in our bests when we struggled

 

[FootyGuru]

Lester had only managed 13 more games over Ridley by the time he was 26 years of age.

Ridley is closer to Harris Andrew’s than Lester is to Ridley

 

[BOMBERS 4 LIFE!!!!]

Ridley is closer to Harris Andrew’s than Lester is to Ridley

Would Lester even get a game if they got Ridley

 

[blueiris]

Would Lester even get a game if they got Ridley

Yes Ridley would most likely be VFL depth like Doedee

 

[BangyBangy]

But, since being a top 4 side, playing in grand finals and winning one have gained:
Will Ashcroft
Levi Ashcroft
Fletcher
Marshall
Annable
Plus adding Allen and potentially Ridley to a grand final team.
Great time to be a lions fan

But Essendon stole prior from you so makes up for getting Ashcroft x2, Fletcher, Marshall, Annable, Allen, Draper and Ridley for very little draft capital
But, I guess if the shoe fits

Whoa dude. What's with all the hate? You just resigned NAS & have snagged Tom De Koning for a combined 8.4 million dollars per year.

You're just as much of a destination club as we are. Just chill & enjoy the ride.

 

[FootyGuru]

Yes Ridley would most likely be VFL depth like Doedee

Ridley would average 10 marks and 20+ very good possessions at Brisbane. Hell he’s not far off that now and he has had to play full back far too often.
You would likely hold the all Australian key defenders.

And in terms of fit, Lester is like 7 years older.

 

[The Prosecutor]

Yes Ridley would most likely be VFL depth like Doedee

lol

 

[HereIGoAgain]

The Lions have to be careful now that Essendon is turning into our feeder club. Sure, take the punt and get Draper who fills a need but to double down on another busted up player out of that system? It's the equivalent of raiding Carlton, nothing much good is going to come out of this.

 

[marcus1232]

Yes Ridley would most likely be VFL depth like Doedee

A fit Ridley would not be depth you know that he is a gun.

When fit there second best player behind Merrett.

The injury history over the last 3 years is a major concern I'm not sure how Essendon and Bris could meet common ground considering the contract length. Essendon have every right to play hardball or flat out refuse a trade
