I thought there was already an article stating Buddy was moving to QLD at the end of the season, and if he could get a new contract at a QLD team would consider playing on but otherwise would retire.

 

[On the quiet]

I'm Dom Fay....or could be Dom Ambrogio...I forget. I'm Dom anyways.

I doubt anyone officially aligned with the club would post on a social media site. Regardless, there must be a substantial gap between what the Lions have offered and what Gardiner (or is mgt) thought he was worth. I believe Gardiner is testing his value on the market, but his form has not been great and with Andrews, Adams, Starc, his role is taking the 3rd or 4th opposition forward so what that is worth pa at the Lions probably $400K? What is he worth to say a weaker team eg North maybe $500K per season, who knows!

 

[CarterS]

Just yesterday on SEN one of them was saying with certainty the contract is about to be signed and they are arguing over the last 100K... absolute circus they are all making it up as they go.

This does not put it to bed at all. If anything, this reads to me like he is leaving.

If he was close to signing, he would just do it wouldn’t he? It’s $100k they are jostling over - just ink it pre-finals and get on with life.

This has all the hallmarks of a statement coming out 2-3 days after the GF declaring he wants to continue his football elsewhere.

 

[irel]

That was a fun 24 hours of Big Bud action

It's only just began. We have three more months to go trough...yet.

Hows the form of the media at the moment. All over the shop

Ralphy seems to think there's a few steps left in the contract. Something about TIN Tax.

Yeah I accepted that as the most likely out come last night, I thought it was all but out to bed. But now with this statement from him - I’m more leaning toward he is looking at leaving.

Why put yourself and club through distracting speculation during a finals series, over a 1 or 2 year extension at 35 years of age, if leaving is not a serious consideration.

Says to me he at least wants to explore conversations elsewhere over the next 6 weeks.

 

[lioninthesand]

They are but I reckon it’s all had some validity to it.

I think Buddy and his team are also all over the shop.

 

[Shaq attack]

No need to waste time when responding to gibberish is there

I guess keep the wool over your eyes then if you think McStay is putting his best effort in.

Darcy Gardiner (restricted free agent)

“Darcy Gardiner is another player that remains unsigned at Brisbane that we haven’t spoken about a lot and there’s some real interest in him as a free agent, so that will be interesting.”

 

[The Zork]

No doubt there is. Probably not at the money that Gardiner is after though.

 

[Warwick]

I might be on my Pat Malone here but I would be very comfortable if Gardiner was to be picked up elsewhere.

It's a shame we would get nothing for him but IMO he has been very average lately. Looks very sluggish.

I think he's been a valuable player but would be fine with him moving on if he wanted and Payne taking his spot going forward. Since he's a RFA I'm sure we could manufacturer a trade that gives us some Fletchcroft points or something mid table next year.

 

[M Malice]

Yep, I think we can cover our older players if they retire/fall down the pecking order in 2023, our 30+ year olds are Daniel Rich

turns 30 later this month.

Mitch and Froggy are already not best 22, Richy, Zorks and Lyons have all been well down on form this season anyway... whether we would miss their leadership around the club and on field is up for debate.

 

[04WeWereRobbed]

doesnt look too bad in the maroon, blue and gold at all

I might be on my Pat Malone here but I would be very comfortable if Gardiner was to be picked up elsewhere.

It's a shame we would get nothing for him but IMO he has been very average lately. Looks very sluggish.

It might be a slight readjustment of our contracts. He and McStay are two of our mature bodies so it is an odd one to possibly lose both. Not great losses if they do go but positional list wise it does leave us a little bit light on. Maybe we have a couple of players or one that we are confident to bring in. It will be an interesting off season in regards to our ins and outs which also might have a flow on effect how we play. Couple of players such as Robbo, Zorko and Rich off our list in the next few years. These 5 players named are all best 22 over the last year or two so it will definitely be a different looking Lions in 23 and especially in 24. These types of list decisions make me feel that Ambrogio and Conole are pulling some levers in the background.

 

[Nathan Barley]

Especially when we have Payne in the reserves.

Id like us to draft Arnold as well to keep that depth

There is not point in drafting a player just because he is a tall. We would have to be confident that he would be AFL quality in the future. Is Arnold any good?

Nah he’s no good that’s why I said I think we should draft him

 

[Nunez]

Nah he’s no good that’s why I said I think we should draft him

Was thinking that today. Arnold is showing some nice traits in the VFL. If we could rookie list him and get him in a full time professional system I reckon he could be AFL level KPD depth.
