James Aish

[Pdub]

Leunberger I can see getting traded most likely to Freo? As Sandilands will be retiring soon
Aish I hope will come to us

I can't, unless he asks to go. He's the only talented ruckman they have.

Stefan Martin is dominating their battle.

Stefan Martin is dominating their battle.

Except for him, but he'll be 29 at the end of this year, only has a few years left.

 

[Mattrox]

What makes you think they won't still have to pay thier salary?

A doping violation would surely be a breach of contract with the AFL and the contract can be terminated without pay out.

 

[Pugsley]

The what?

It's a party.

 

[baldandbroke]

A few minutes ago they said on Talking footy that Brisbane - not the players - have put contract talk on hold until the end of the season for its 3 uncontracted players - Aish, Leuenberger and forgot the 3rd one, as they are aiming to be heavily involved in free agency with players such as Charlie Dixon at year's end. apparently this is a unilateral decision by Brisbabne as Player Manager Liam Pickering didn't see this coing at all.

Looks like they're prepared to trade these 3 to get salary cap space for their targets.

Jeez - if they put Charlie Dixon up for grabs he'd have a fair few teams knocking at their door. Power forwards are rare as hens teeth.

Aish will seem like sloppy seconds

 

[Captain Morgan]

Probably good move by Brisbane - helps stop the negative press over protracted player negotiations. The club putting off talks makes them look stronger compared to the players putting off talks.

Unless of course it's the club that doped them

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

would they be able to use any of the spare cash then though? surely they couldn't sign someone, as they wouldn't have the room when ryder and monfries come back?

Fremantle also have Clarke, Griffin, Hannath, Moller, Apeness and Pearce hanging around, the latter of whom are probably more KPP, but all are 200cm+.

 

[Mismatched]

Except for him, but he'll be 29 at the end of this year, only has a few years left.

3 or 4 more years, ruckman tend to be quite durable, with many playing good footy well into their 30s, plus Leuenberger will be 27 at years end, only 2 years younger than Martin.

 

[FR0GGY]

Power forwards are rare as hens teeth.

Yeah they really only have Schulz and he's just about gone.

 

[baldandbroke]

Yeah they really only have Schulz and he's just about gone.

Dixon would actually be a good fit for the Power, as you say Schulz is close to done.

 

[DoubleBlue2]

not if the drug cheating as done before there was a contract, port knew what they were getting into when they went after ryder

Not how these things work. They may get paid as the AFL HAVE BEEN COMPLICIT, BUT IT CERTAINLY WONT COME OUT OF SALARY CAP.

If they claim innocence (which they have) then Power are perfectly entitled to offer a contract under that presumption. Anything to the contrary such as a guilty finding will breach the contract as they are unable to play and perform their side.

Agree, plus they would no longer be on Essendons list as the contract is terminated.

Would make the 2016 draft interesting if the players get 12 months.

They have the Future in the wings ready to go, he dominated against our team of top ups on the weekend.

 

[conVINCEd]

Is Charlie Dixon a free agent this year, having been a Suns player for 8 years - including years before they entered the comp?

There was talk about this a while back but I haven't seen it confirmed anywhere.

I think McKenzie is in the same boat (maybe Zac Smith as well).

Nope. No free agency eligible Suns this year.

[conVINCEd]

Was that talk based on rubbish? I'm thinking they've only served 7 years at the Suns anyway. Perhaps it will apply at the end of next year to any out-of-contract original Suns?

They have Ryder. Dixon would be a much better fit for us. We don't have that player. Well hopefully Harry Dear one day.

Danny don't do sloppy seconds.

The future is history

 

[Infra Ted]

And more who have failed

But on Alistair Lynch, wasn't he one of the 8 Roys players selected by Brisbane post merger, i know it's a bit of a schematics argument but still i wouldn't say that was courage to look for greener pastures... it more just fell into his lap.

Schematics argument??? What is that? Some kind of fruit?
