2014 Trade/FA Discussions

[POBT]

I'd like Malceski but signing a free agent is a two way street. The player has to want to come to you too. I'd be surprised if most players would see us as a more desirable destination than the Suns right now, even with their coaching vacancy.

They sure can't fit Petrie, Waite, Black and Brown in the same team (still struggling that another team has a black and Brown). Black was pretty awful this year but still reckon he has potential. If we do have the flexibility I'd be keen to get him. Maybe a Merrett Black straight swap, they get a def capable of playing on big bodies who fits their plan to go hard now and we get an underperformance KPF who can learn under Browny...

I would definitely be enquiring about Black and seeing how he feels about a move. From memory he did pretty well last year and would be more proven then the other guys we have brought in recently (lisle, Paine, ace). Is he around the 196/7 mark as well?

The two WA teams would be right into Black you'd think - especially Freo.

He's a bit undersized for the type for forward he is. 192cm according to Wiki.

 

[Ironmonger]

Surely Tarrant is more likely to be on the outer than Black?

 

[SizeMatters]

Want the Lions to look into Blease and Burbury. Both have speed and some upside and will be cheap as delisted FA.

Rookies only

North are really going for it with Waite and Higgins but it looks like being a very limited window.I think we should have them covered by 2017 at the latest.

Odds on Boomer still being there and their best player?

For some reason I was under the impression that he was quite tall. Not so keen on more slightly undersized forwards.

Free agents spuds. I bet they don't make the 8 next year.

I agree. North have given themselves a two year window at best. Certainly going for it in 2015.

I would certainly sign Blease up. Crazy good talent who'd thrive in a gameplan that didn't only contain defense.

Is he quick? How's his disposal?

Pace is his key asset.

Can't think of much else.

Don't want. Would frustrate our supporters significantly and be delisted after 2 years.

Ugh. Pass.

An even more flawed Justin Sherman would be my description of Blease.

More flaws than Sherman, that's unpossible. Wonder how Shermo's boot deal is coming along:

"His former manager Rick Olarenshaw once told me Shermo would ring every second day asking for a boot deal or an apparel sponsor after his first year"

That was the analogy I was thinking.

 

[Alan Smithee]

Who at this years draft combine could be described as an even more flawed Llane Spaanderman?

I think enough time has passed for me to pass on the following little nugget...

A few years back Shermo once booked a meeting with a Lions media manager (to their confusion). He showed up with a pitch and proposed format for a weekly TV talk show (genuine broadcast TV not LIONSTV) with him as the host and wanted the club's media department to try and make it happen.

I still laugh when I remember that story. Bless him.

Wow - that is gold. Sorry for the Simpsons reference again but was the Sherman show going to be called "Rat boy"

If official . Lions nominate Dawson and Andrews are academy picks in the up and coming draft

 

[Hollow Knight]

Essendon playing some serious hardball with Port Adelaide re: Ryder.

I am a bit relieved we don't have a dog in that fight anymore. Really doubt we would have been able to get something done as well as Beams.

Happy to sit back with a box of popcorn.

Err....you probably want to wait until Monday.

all the reporters have been saying Essendon are the hardest club to trade with. definitely happy to be on the sidelines there.
