Anyone we bring in simply must have speed. I think we have enough talls on our list to make do.

Reece Walsh?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Reece Walsh?

He does have a booming left foot on him.

CEY made big bucks on NFTs, he doesn’t need the money!!!!

Also he’s suing the club still as far as I’m aware.

 

[briztoon]

I think this is a good way for us to invest back into QAFL as well. Just grab the promising ones in 6 month contract and see what they've got. Great way to promote our recruiting drive too in the state.

It'll look very similar to how our Women's team was built with Dakota and few others coming from QAFLW.

Unsure if QAFL teams and fans will view it that way though, as we're pinching their players halfway through their season, including their finals series.

This.

The QAFL clubs hate us pinching their best kids for the academy, especially when the academies play “meaningless” development games late in the season, when finals are on.

They’d be doubly p!ssed if we take a couple of their best players for 6 months.

However, with our injury list, we’re going to be pulling players out of the QAFL for our VFL team anyway, so be good to offer a couple of players a full time income for 4 months, plus a $50k bonus for being delisted after 4 months.

Good point, they might be a little less aggrieved if we're drafting players who already miss their club's QAFL games to play VFL for us, like Ben Thomas and Riley Greene.

He fits right in then

Interesting. You’d have thought local footy clubs would be rapt to have blokes entering pathways to get drafted. They should be ashamed tbh. You don’t often get a chance to show your worth in front of recruiters even if it seems “meaningless”. To be honest more I think about the more pathetic it is they should be doing everything and anything for the blokes wanting to get drafted.

I question what impact would an academy prospect have on a local footy clubs run to finals anyway. If they have to rely on 16-18 year olds for a (in the grand scheme of things) meaningless local league title then they have bigger problems than some young bloke wanting to take the next step and test themselves.

 

[Ceebee]

LOL!

Luke Hodge joking on SEN this morning that he has 3 weeks to get in shape for the Mid Season Draft, putting up his hand for the Lions.

I would love him as an assistant coach but doubt he will leave the media for the pressures of coaching .

his Hawthorn days are O.V.E.R. Get his kids in the academy NOW.

It is not meaningless to them ...

 

[davemc_lions]

If we doing 6 months maybe yes look at a couple of our VFL guys
Lohmann brother and Thomas for a couple of spots on 6 months.

What about Blake Coleman getting another chance. Where did he end up.
Would be good to get someone with some speed in for 18 months

Although if I was young player and got a chance to get into a AFL team for at least 6 months
You think a few want to grab that chance and show everyone they should be kept

 

[Nunez]

Greene in a full time program for 6 months to see if he's got what it takes is absolutely a worthwhile punt IMO.

 

[Elixuh]

I saw something which was posted discussing injury lists from a replaceability perspective. Effectively a deep dive on depth charts and stats etc.

We are in the small bundle of clubs (I think West Coast and Richmond were the other two) which have been worst hit in the sense that we have so many injuries to firm best 22 players, many of who play positions/roles that can't easily be replaced / we have limited depth for.

Despite Carlton fans on here constantly claiming they have a long injury list, their injuries are largely to fringe or not best 22 players + spots that are easily replaceable, eg Motlop and Martin have been out but covered by Owies and Durden where the difference in output between those players is marginal.

 

[lionshine]

Greene in a full time program for 6 months to see if he's got what it takes is absolutely a worthwhile punt IMO.

I have a feeling we might pick him up.

says he "loves" the Lions and living in Queensland but is in no rush to make a decision about his long-term future.

As reported by AFL.com.au's Inside Trading last month, McCluggage, who is a restricted free agent and out of contract at season's end, has a long-term offer from Brisbane in front of him, as well as extensive interest from Victorian clubs.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/1114761...ase-eagle-elliot-yeo-saint-brad-hill-in-talks
Now eight rounds into the season, the Lions vice-captain said he was happy with negotiations between the club and his manager.

"We both know where I sit," McCluggage said on Tuesday.

"I love it here. I really enjoy playing footy with this group and living in Queensland.

"I think we both want to get something done, but it's taking it's time and that's ok.

"It's just simmering away in the background, and I'm focussed on playing as well as I can and making sure we continue to build our form."

"I'm proud I've got to this stage where I'm hoping to sign for a longer period of time and set myself up, but there's things that have to be worked through," he said.

"Every other contract I've signed, I've been pretty flexible in when that's happened.

"It's not concerning me at all, and I don't think it's concerning anyone else or affecting the way we go about things.

"You sign until the end of the year for a reason, so that you have that time to work through things."

McCluggage has been in the top three of Brisbane's best and fairest the past five seasons and is having another strong campaign in 2024, coming off 31 disposals in a win over Gold Coast on Sunday night.

[Grasshopper17]

Reece Walsh?

If his NRL form is any guide half his kicks will be absolutely phenomenal and the other half will be out on the full.

 

[dlanod]

The Mid Week Tackle highlighted that Linc had negotiated one year extension last week and that the Lions may look to extend it further on the back of his ACL to provide him some security whilst he gets back. Well done to the club on being loyal to a bloke that must be heartbroken and giving him and his family some security at this time.

Can you link it? I'll update the contract status thread.

 

[jfn]

The injuries have certainly challenged the Premiership window Brisbane was in. Difficult times require difficult decisions.

Is the club brave enough and mercenary enough to consider Tarryn Thomas in the Mid Season Draft on a 6 month contract to replace Linc. He is free to play after 22nd July. That would give him a good run to gather form before the finals. At the end of the 6 months, he can go wherever he wants.

He'd have to be kept on a short leash, and the club would have to endure the media scrutiny of the selection, but the fact is, he can play.

This classy if true and that's the kind of thing that makes you proud to be a fan of the club and for players would make us an attractive destination and a difficult place to leave.
