Cam isn't that guy

Man, how do we even go about replacing Joe next year if he does retire?

We're not trading for a player going off the courier mail article. Daniel Lloyd?

Would need to consider a stop gap for a year. Not great options but players like Sam Day, Taberner etc until we can have a bit more of a crack at someone next year. Obviously none of those options are great.

Said a month or so ago we’d be screwed if our forward line had the same injury run as the back line this year because we really haven’t got anyone capable of coming in and playing a role up there. It’s why Eric continues going out there every week with a busted groin. Deserves credit for doing that for the team, but it also highlights how thin we are there. We know Ryan isn’t the answer either.

Yeah, Smith is the one we seem to be develop for that FWD/Ruck role that Joe normally plays. Don't have many other experienced forwards

It's more likely that we play Morris out of the square and bring McCarthy back

I am a pies supporter but I saw Tom Lynch work past my work in Fortitude Valley a couple of months ago. I thought it was strange and honestly before the Daniher news I thought GCS were more likely. Calling it now, Tom Lynch for all the academy and F/S points you can handle.

 

[blueiris]

We're rumours that we are chasing Sam de Konni

 

[Bucking Beads]

Cam isn't that guy

He’s anything he wants to be!

 

[Elixuh]

We have shown our forward line works better with a smaller setup it's going to sad to seeing Joey go but I back in our setup to be fine next season if we go smaller

Who will take relief ruck? Who is going to pickup the 56 goals he kicked this year?

I love Joe so if he wants to retire that’s all good with me. But it’s going to leave a huge gap that we don’t have a ready made player to replace.

 

[Squizz89]

FWIW we obviously need all the points we can get this year but we do have next years first if we need it so we do have that option. Thing is list spots are tight although I guess if Joe leaves it opens up another anyway.

 

[pod17]

Wasn’t an extension being discussed for Joe? Now he’s retiring?

 

[Perrip]

Jon Ralph

Think it would be unlikely Daniher made some emotional post GF retirement announcement. But the Lions have confirmed he has started thinking about what his footy future looks like for him and his family

Sounds more like he's thinking about what post-footy life looks like for him, rather than immediately retiring after the granny.

Welcome back to the forward line DARCY GARDINER

Good one.

Let's get Gunners back as well.

 

[Elixuh]

Things escalated quickly in the negotiations. Joes counter offer to more years was retirement.

 

[Elixuh]

Good one.

Let's get Gunners back as well.

 

[martinson]

OK.

Then Breust it is.

 

[LoganMorrisFan]

Sounds like more space for future GOAT McMorris in the forward line next year. Should crack 100 goals I would think

 

[BrisVegasDru]

Henry Smith may only be one pre season away, play the resting ruckman out of the goal square. Reckon with the talent we have in every other position we would just about cope, but we would be losing a huge fun factor.

Hope a flag whets his appetite to seek a 2nd!

 

[RU_]

Surely this is just smoke regarding Joey?

 

[Johnny Bananas]

I wonder if he can be talked into one more year. Fogarty and Allen are both off contract at the end of next year.

 

[SL16]

Any truth to it? Or just gutter journalism the night before the granny?

 

[beatnik]

Unsourced speculation by Melbourne media?

 

[beatnik]

Timing makes it seems like a deliberate distraction ploy by grubby scribes

 

[jono915]

BT suggests something big would happen postgame that would impact both teams. Maybe this plus a swans player unexpectedly retiring is it? How BT knows makes no sense to me.

Which will only fuel Daniher. You gotta love it
