Interesting acrticle in the Sunday Times. He comes out of contract at the end of this season and is hesitant about re-signing with the Lions.

"I don't know, it's hard to say," Rich said when asked about re-signing with Brisbane.
"I'm happy at the moment and you can only live in the now, but the way footy is these days anything can happen, you just don't know."
"Obviously I'm contracted to the Lions this season, but it's hard to say what's going to happen in the future.

Obviously GWS have the best chance and perhaps they have already signed him but if he wants to return home it would be a two horse race between us and Freo.

He would be a great addition to our midfield so what would we be willing to give up for him and could we offer him enough cash?
 
well he can't really say "i hate the brisbane lions and intend on leaving" heading into the 2011 season..... so the quotes pretty much dictate that he will be requesting a trade once his contract is complete.

No reason why the club shouldn't be in a position to make a play for him.

Which means they won't and Freo will pick him up in the PSD.

Daniel Kerr is ready for a big 2012 btw. :thumbsu:
 
There's no way I'm gonna get my hopes up, but a midfield containing Shuey and Rich is getting me a little hot in the pants. If guys like Masten and Swift come on, and Stevens, Gaff and the rest, it'd be...hot.
 
Sounds like he is after a pay rise. I'm not sure there is too much to read into here.

I am not sure that its as simple as that.

Word is that its not a totally happy camp at Brisbane at the minute.

Would be a very good get if we could pull it off , having said that he will not come cheap.

I would think that we would be an attactive proposition to him should he want out of Brisbane... he would get to come home and play for the side he grew up barracking for. He would also get the opportunity to continue playing along side NN who DR has previously said that he had a very good understanding with NN and they combined well.

Well we can always hope it comes to fruition. :)
 
Would trade Brown and a second round pick for him.

Would not want to trade Ebert just yet.
 
Really hope we make a big play for him, he will complete our young midfield group so well.

C: Sheppard Shuey Gaff
R: Naitinui Swift Rich
 
Wouldn't trade Mitch Brown for him. A midfielder for KPD stinks imo. Could get Staker/ Dlaziell all over again but Dalziell's no Rich either

I'd look at trading mids for starters. We all know Voss had a man crush on Tom Swift before he was drafted. Masten??? Ebert??? Rosa and a good pick?? Heck i'm getting ahead of myself here but damn Daniel Rich would be gold for the midfield

Whether or not we go for Rich will depend on how well our young mids go in 2011.

Of late we haven't managed to develop players very well, so if that continues someone like Rich, who's young and ready to go will be very appealing.
 
Rich? That kid who hits players with pinpoint 50m passes? No thanks, doesn't fit in with our gameplan of 'give the opposition leather poisoning via turnovers'.
 
Depends on how the Lions do this year. I think they will do well and he'll re-sign mid year.

Would be a great get, someone for us who would be able to kick the ball half decently for once.

Lions could win every game by 100+ points and it wouldnt matter. The big problem for them is they have no salary cap room left whatsoever. Richs chances of staying or going depends on the outcome of the whole Fevola saga.

As it stands Id think we will double whatever contract offer Brisbane can throw up
 
With our team due to finish in the bottom 2 again this season I think we can trade off our first pick and some spud at our club who will become a star player at another club.
 
Lions have salary cap problems an alot of unhappy players
Also rich always seemed to me like he wanted to play for the eagles which is why i was worried if freo picked him up, coz it seemed very likely once his contract was up he would find his way to you guys.

An it will be crazy vossy your dealing with in a trade so u wouldnt have to offer much.
 
Well, his name was bandied around earlier last year so it's not the first time it's come up. I'm sure the club will make the necessary inquiries to see what can be done if he does wish to return here. He would be a great pick up for us.:thumbsu:
