brennan

[theyellowsash]

in one of the fev threads someone says their dad works at the club, and that the word around the club is that brennan is coming here.

obviously not a particularly solid rumor but what do people reckon? personally i dont really want a flashy but very inconsistent and sometimes lazy bloke for the price he would command.

 

[Puntroad]

Lazy, inconsistent and too old for us.
Please no

 

[tigerdan]

At the right price, I want him.

As to whether the RFC and the Lions agree on the price, well that's another matter.

 

[RichoRox12]

I secretly love Jared Brennan. Love watching him play & think he's a freak of nature.

But now the Lions have a spare $700k to throw around, I'd say he'd be staying.

 

[tugga]

If we could get him for nothing, then yes please.
I doubt that would happen even with Voss orchestrating it.

 

[Spluff]

He's an absolute gun but he's not somebody we should actively target.

 

[Barnzy]

Just not a good fit for us. Would be very surprised to see us pick him up unless it was a very good deal or for free in the PSD.

The guy who said it is proably just BSing.

I agree Barnzy. Not a good fit for us.
BUT...
usually when a player announces he wants to go to another club, it is only after he has had discussions with that club and the club agrees to try and take him on. The player would not want to announce they want a trade to a certain club only for that club to say 'No thanks, on yer bike'.
I realise there has been no announcement though by Brennan. If there is though, then we can start assuming the Tigers might be on board.

 

[lesrythmes]

If he has nominated us then we've got the upper hand. Why on Earth wouldn't we give a Thursfield/Moore for him? Especially Moore, about the same age but Brennan is MUCH better. If we can pull off moving on a good key back for a VERY good key back, why wouldn't we?

 

[Toadvine]

PSD or nothing. Even then he would have to take a pay cut for me to be happy.

 

[tigerintheblood]

Don't think he suites were we are going as a football club, too flashy for mine. Especially after years and years of this 'potential' he has only strung together a few good games.

Although if we got him in the PSD I wouldn't mind, as long as we don't throw him rediculous amounts of money

 

[Ramper]

Brennan turns 27 next July! If he becomes a Richmond player then we should probably expect that ALL of McGuane, Thursfield and Rance or certainly at least 2 of these will be gone. The upside is that we will have CHB of note and a certain starter in 22 games, trading out McGuane, Thursfield and Rance will open up the list for us to start covering other problem areas. We have also lost lots of experience over the past 2 years, bringing in a 26/27yo is not bad- depending on the cost and how we can utilise the new opportunity to plug holes in our list.

 

[mellowyellow]

Inconsistent show pony with a too high asking price

 

[NQTIGER]

Well we can offer up Jordy and Slops, and jordy does get a lot of the ball and his disposal is pretty good most of the time.

CC talk to vossy get it done, and we do have rawlings who admires jordy.

Throw in Polak and I reckon Vossy would take that

 

[Goldust]

VICKERY'S dad was att he club and Tyrone came !!

 

[Tiger_Stripes]

Has a wife and two kids, doubt he'd want to uproot. Might be less doubtful if you produced the thread in question.

Here's the post.

[nugget_12]

Id be happy to have brennan, aslong as he's not on massive dollars!

 

[Deledio2Conca]

Would love it if we got him by paying unders....but I just don't think that would happen...why would he want to come here anyway???

Leppitsch maybe?
Still young and could see a better future with us then at Brisbane or other clubs after him like Essendon.
I know I am biased but I reckon we are a pretty attractive proposition ATM

 

[middy]

Seems to me like the sort of playe that Dimma could really sort out and get the most out of. Would love to get him, only if through the PSD though.

 

[Deledio2Conca]

If (big if) we did end up getting him...where would his best position for us be?? Would he be that old-school utility?? Forward? Back?

I think that's the only reason that some people don't like/rate him...but he has been chopped and changed so much it must be hard to settle into any role Voss has given him.

Must say, couple him with Riewoldt and Griffiths up there for next season and that's a pretty handy set up.

 

[folester41]

he wont be coming here, why would he nominate us? not to mention he goes against everything hardwick is about.

 

[Toadvine]

The wing is his best suited position IMO.
