What I’ve been told from someone who knows a fair bit with what’s going on at the lions. He believes he may be up for trade. Everyone else has long term contracts. Especially if they look to add more f/a this year.
This bloke did tell me about Oscar Allen to Brisbane august last year.

Have heard similar. Lions think he's gone in FA next year and would like to try and cash in early for a higher return

Allen is a strange one, go to Brisbane to play CHB surely, Morris is a gun, you’re not replacing him. Bailey would be a great get

He'll replace Day. If they move on a player like Bailey and bring in Allen they'll back that Ah Chee, Lohmann, Cameron and youngsters like McLachlan will cover the loss at ground level.

Allen with Brisbanes delivery inside 50 next to Morris would be seriously dangerous if he's anywhere near 100% fitness.
 
You will need to give up much more than pick 18 for Bergman
It staggers me that a player who has never averaged more than 18 possessions a game and has never finished higher than 7th in his clubs B&F would command much higher. I can see see 14-16 being ok, I don’t think he’s worth more than that.

Rate them.

Bergman. Pick 18
Florent. 26
Bailey. 14

Getting all three is unrealistic but getting two would be achievable.
As JJ said, Bergman will cost a lot more than pick 18. He's developing into genuine star in that midfield role. Next few years I'd imagine he's going to really explode and start being that 25-30 touch mid who can push forward and impact.

In terms of ability - Bergman, Bailey, Florent.

In terms of actual possibility of happening - Florent, Bergman, Bailey
 
They had Allen wrapped up for this year thinking Joey would be playing his last season this year. Logan coming on is an extra bonus
Pull the pin then. I thought he would go there and they’d trade Morris and get good picks, bus spending heaps on Allen reminds me a little of when they got the Adelaide free agent and he’s barely played a match. Spend the money elsewhere

It's a weak, highly comprimised draft. Pick 18 will end up being around 30. He was a pick 14, and is having a breakout year. You pay for potential, rather than for what they've done already as well

Ok based on us getting pick 8 as compo for TDK. Trade 8 down to 12-13 in exchange for a pick around 24.

13 For Bergman and 24 for Florent.

24 is possibly too high for Florent if he’s not being picked and his contract is bad.

I would imagine Port would be asking us for our TDK pick and in all honesty I'd hand it over for Bergman in this draft. Sounds like considerable overs but I really don't rate this draft at all so personally I'd be fine paying that.

Florent offer them up a future 2nd, they're in no position to ask for overs if he's stuck playing twos half the year.

Admittedly I haven’t seen much of him this year but 18 touches a game doesn’t scream break out year to me, 18 might be not enough but I don’t think I’d be happy if we paid more than pick 12
 
Not that I know of, goes to 2029 though.

Cox doesn't seem to have him in their best team so having a player on a good contract playing 2s until 2029 is a minor disaster. They'll likely move him on for cheap if he remains in the twos for parts of the year.
I think it was the length I must have been thinking of. Could easily get a discount if they want him off the books
 
Pick 5 and Florent from Sydney (at a minimum) for Harry.

Keep TDK and use 5 to lure in either Bailey or Bergman + change.

Brisbane will probably want to deal in future picks though due to their academy boys - not sure if we can accomodate that given Cody.

Walk away with Florent, Bergman and keeping TDK.

We can’t keep paying overs for players and complaing years down the track that we don’t have good kids or depth. Constantly overpaying for players with picks and $ will bite you down the track.

We’ve mentioned Dawson, Smith and others the past few weeks, if other clubs can get deals done cheaply, then we can too and if we can’t, then there’s something wrong.

If Bergman nominates us, there’s no need to pay overs. If 8s on the table, that’s ok but I’d be expecting a bit back,

It depends how pick 8 is valued this year. Riley Beveridge said today that Jagga Smith would've been pick 1 by a long way in this draft
