Maybe we're going for Redden to ontrade to Adelaide as he is a SA boy and what they need if they lose Danger.

Thoughts?
Or, we keep Redden and 5 this year, along with bringing in Greenwood. Then we go all out for Danger next year as a free agent.

Start the 2016 season with Pendles, Sidebottom, Danger, Redden, Greenwood, Adams, Freeman all rolling trough the middle.

... well I can dream, can't I?

Redden and 5 is as good as we are gonna get.
I'd be happy with that.
I'd also be happy to keep 5 and get Levi.
Keeps our midfield depth and allows us to throw everything at Dangerfield/Sloane type next year

I dont know much about Redden, other than I think I had him in my Super Coach team last year. With that said, at this point of the whole saga, if us getting him pisses off Brisbane supporters sufficiently, I will be happy :D

Of all the Facebook pages that is one of the better ones. I tends to re-report things from other media rather than come up with things on its own. Still I'm wary of what it reports. Hopefully it is at least true that the Lions & Pies are close. The sooner we get a resolution on Beams the better.

He uses the footy pretty well, disposal efficiency at around 75% over the last few seasons.

are jealous!
According to Facebook Greenwood has officially asked to be traded to the Pies.
So what that tells you is that Greenwood may or may not have asked to be traded to the Pies or some other club or that he may be snoring his head off in a Bali apartment completely oblivious to what gets said on FB and BF!

Is pick 35 fair for lumumba? I'd prefer there second round pick at 23 of course. But it seems pick 35 isn't enough and 23 may be a touch overs... Hard to place his value

Hypothetically, if Brisbane were to trade us Redden and Pick 5. Would you be happy to then trade Redden, pick 5 and one of Kennedy(The last resort if they don't like the other 4)/Thomas/Brown/Keefe/Sinclair for Dangerfield? and would they accept it?

They did a big CONFIRMED announcement. Usually that particular page only does when something's official. Having said that, I haven't seen it posted on th afl website yet :confused:

Exactly. We need to see something official at this stage. Reckon it's a real chance but I'm not wanting to jump the gun. Already made that mistake once today!

Don't forget Scharenberg is back!!

I rate Danger on the same level as Beams, though Danger does have that ability to break a game open. If we're trading for Dangerfield, I'd hope we'd only ontrade what Brisbane trade for Beams and give Adelaide a 2nd round pick at the absolute maximum. We would be getting ripped off badly, if we had to give up Kennedy, Brown, Keeffe. I'd hope they'd accept it!! It would help if Danger nominated us too :p
