True, apparently Polkinghorne wants out too. What a mess their admin have made.
I challenge you to find 3 Brisbane supporters who see Polkinghorne leaving as a problem :p

Voss gave him every opportunity and more but he's not AFL level. The torp vs West Coast bought him some time but it could only last so long.

Point is half your list wants out and Brissie are a rabble.

Fair enough. His stats seemed reasonable enough as a c-grade mid at a glance but you guys would know better than I.

Just can't see it happening. He's contracted, playing good footy and is the heir apparent to the captaincy.

Your board so you are entitled to be overdramatic but of the players who want out only one (Yeo) is currently guaranteed best 22. The others have some claims for a fresh start (losing Longer and Docherty will be dissapointing.. Karnezis and Polec meh)

Not often you sack a coach without a few other apples falling from the tree and that is something the board will have to answer to (and will when we kick them out at a forthcoming AGM).

Would have to say that the rabble claims have to be counterbalanced by the fact that our selected 22 players played committed, united footy until the end of the season and were a bad McBurney decision from being a finals contender in the last week.

Leigh Matthews says things are never as bad or as good as they seem in footy. Reckon both our clubs can take solace in that.

if though it did happen, would you accept pick 2 for him?
As in if we had no option to retain him? I suppose... I'd still feel ripped off though. I don't get as excited over draft pick lottery tickets as others.

EDIT: The more and more I think about it, it is just so, so unlikely.

How do you guys feel about Sylvia's name being bandied about by other clubs ?

Yeah guys the fact that the Dees are in the market for a young but experienced mid for their pick 2 may have some legs but it's just so, so, so unlikely that either Brisbane or Rocky would agree to that. The exodus is based on player faction issues, and Rocky is definitely part of the ingroup in terms of player hierarchy.

Not happening sorry guys. I agree though, it would be a massive coup for Rawlings.
