I'd be keen on a Ruckmen to replace Stef Martin TBH. I know we've got Oscar who is developing nicely but I'd like another bigger bodied guy to replace Martin to allow Oscar to continue to be our 2nd Ruckmen.

This is left field but I reckon Eagles has 3 or 4 years in him as a back up ruck. Unlikely to get a contract but I'd be doing it . People underestimate Stef . I think he can go another year. Oscar is still comparatively young and will be our NO.1 ruck in a year or two.
 
Does it matter if he can’t kick accurately, and has a habit of running in to dead ends?
Been watching Brad Hill live since he returned to WA and he does both of those things at times Briztoon. Against that, however, his pace and repeated sprints consistently opens up games for the Dockers, particularly late in the game. I think he would be a tremendous asset but we have likely got snowballs.

I had a potential draftee in mind.
 
Would take Gibbs from Adelaide. Along with CEY. Something hasn't clicked with Gibbs in Adelaide. Still would be a very serviceable mid.

Hasn’t clicked for Gibbs as he has reportedly the same issues as Beams.
 
Wasn't Lyons 2 way running questionable aswell?

More his spread and getting from contest to contest which plays a part in 2 way running. Gibbs and Lyons are two very different midfielders though.

Brisbane Lions now loom as a destination club as wins mount and Gabba attendances rise

Jon Ralph, Herald Sun

Brisbane will secure an extra financial windfall of over $1 million from its on-field fortunes as it moves to re-sign its off-field staff, including football boss David Noble.

The club’s membership is its highest in 15 years and home attendances have increased by over 5000 with a likely 36,000-seat sellout to come against Geelong in Round 23.

A club that once couldn’t stem the bleeding with a player exodus has now re-signed every priority target and is moving onto its off-field team.

Having lost $231,000 last season they will shore up their financial position with average crowds up from 18,406 to 23,522 with three Gabba games remaining.

Noble has been identified as a coach-in-waiting given the club’s success but will soon extend his contract, with all assistant coaches to be locked away on new deals.

The Lions also have the capacity for another aggressive recruiting haul after securing Brownlow Medal contender Lachie Neale, Jarryd Lyons, Marcus Adams and Lincoln McCarthy.

They have Collingwood’s first selection — currently 13 — after the Dayne Beams trade and Gold Coast’s second pick — currently 19 — after a swap last October.

An array of player managers have made it clear Brisbane is now a destination club given their style of play and culture under coach Chris Fagan.

In Round 18 when the Lions knocked off North Melbourne with a late, contentious free kick in front of 23,833 fans their attendance was bigger than the Brisbane Broncos crowd two nights earlier.

Brisbane chief executive Greg Swann told the Herald Sun there was no doubt the club’s style of play was attractive to fans.

“We are making some inroads. There is no question winning is keeping fans happy but we do play a brand of football and we like to score, so the fans have received that well.

“Stef Martin has just signed this week and we can just keep going back to the draft.

“But with list management we have got a few that are keen to come, so that is always a good sign.”

The Lions current membership is 27,712 ahead of next week’s official cut-off.

I'm really excited at the prospect of us landing and who it could be gun trade in:cool: ... not quite as excited at the prospect of a finals campaign though. :D
 
"... we have got a few that are keen to come..."

Well that is very interesting. Times have gone past when we used to accept anbyone that wanted to come to us, we have to be selective and get the cream of the crop that will benefit us the most.
Who is the 3rd leg of the trade treble, Cameron > Neale > ??
