2017 Trade and FA thread

[Tom14]

They are certainly building a nice list. I don't think they're that far ahead of us though.

Gibbs going really hurts them in the short term - they are really short in the midfield.

 

[DanT7]

Why would they swap pick 43 & 44?

Yeah i'd take our list over theirs for sure, way more character. Just because player come from GWS doesn't mean they are a home run.

 

[Billy Puller]

Why did we not make a play for Gary Ablett?!!??!!?!!???!!

Their midfield and defence have the potential to be top 3 in comp in a few years... forward line is a weakness but by no means poor either. All they really need is another young talented KPP and ruck. They are set for the next decade.

I do like their defence, not quite as bullish on the mids just yet though a lot to like in Cripps, SPS, possibly Curnow down the line and now Kennedy. They're probably ahead of us but they did start their proper rebuild prior to us. I don't think they're that far ahead, both clubs building good young lists. I think there's a thread that compares both on the main board.

Looks like Cameron for pick 12 moments away

 

[lioninthesand]

Cameron a Lion for pick 12

 

[Gibbo_88]

Dylan 12 "we're a joke, we always get bent over every trade period"

Everybody else "it's a bit more than what we wanted to pay but meh"

 

[Milk Steak]

Happy to have Cameron aboard,he'll be exciting to watch and when he's streaming down the wing no one will give a shit about what pick it was in the end.

 

[scoman]

What a complete joke

 

[misaboo]

Can't believe that trade. First bullshit from Noble and co.

We're a rebuilding club. Why pay overs for a guy you can get next year for nothing. Get a young gun with 12, spend 2018 developing, then add Charlie to a competitive team the year after. Would have been content trading #20 but that's it.

Also, don't have the pick to match a bid for Jack Payne now unless he gets to the rookie draft - why did we not just take Hodge in the draft with a super late pick or in the PSD.

???????

 

[brutus76]

8 minutes to find Schache a home.... anybody??????????

 

[captainrich]

apparently pick 25 for Schache? wow this is seriously inept

 

[scoman]

Going from bad to worse

 

[Hollow Knight]

Apparently as long as clubs have completed paperwork and are in the room at 2pm, trades will be honoured.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Why would they swap pick 43 & 44?

Trolling Damian Barrett.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

apparently pick 25 for Schache? wow this is seriously inept

Please tell me this didn't happen ?

 

[captainrich]

pick 2 and matera for lachie weller???? this is seriously queensland, gws and Brisbane lions burning wow

 

[Toffee Lion]

Wow, Pick 2 + Matera for Weller.

 

[Hollow Knight]

Noble overpays Cameron.

Suns: "Hold my beer".

 

[lioninthesand]

Please tell me this didn't happen ?

12 for Cameron is overs but I can deal.

This would shape as a horrible outcome, if true, we obviously have lost all faith in Josh and a person able to deal with the rigors of AFL football.

Surely not though.

 

[Back2Back2Back]

There's still a Lions polo wandering around in the back of the room...

 

[jackess]

Probably getting 5 back for a future first you'd expect

 

[Lionwest]

Good time to be a Queensland team....lose players for unders and pay well overs for those coming home.

Wonder if Gill is still generally pleased with footy in QLD!!!
