Free Agency Jarryd Lyons [joins Brisbane as a delisted free agent]

[DIG]

Does this potentially open up a trade period loop hole? For example if GC refused to de-list Lyons, could Brisbane have said if you de-list Lyons we'll do a "separate" pick trade of our pick 35 for your future fourth

If Suns haven’t negotiated a separate pick swap to facilitate this move, then they’re ****ed in the head.

Trying to duplicate GWS - Carlton kind of deal .

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Maybe brisbane will pay them back by not matching a bid on one of their academy players or something along those lines

 

[TradeDraft]

Will be a handy addition to Brisbane's midfield. Kid can play. Must be something else going on.

Rumors he been a Dickhead off-field

 

[TradeDraft]

Tom Morris suggesting that we (Bris) approached Lyons and got him to request to be delisted by GC:

Draft Tampering?

 

[TradeDraft]

I heard that Gold Coast told Lyons to look for another club because they were adamant they were getting Dom Tyson. Once Tyson turned his back on Gold Coast it was too late Lyons was already upset. Poor list management imo.

Poorly Run Club to Start With

No one is shuffling their list to that extent for tyson !
GWS didnt rate tyson , melbourne didn't rate tyson just a list clogger . Would take Lyons over tyson any day

It’s about time we got one back from GC.

Draft Tampering?

Strange article. 'If there is ever such thing that is a win-win-win in football, it's this'.
Suns lost a guy who came top 10 in 2 categories in league statistics. Not sure how much of a win it is.

 

[Zach Package]

The whole thing is just one big circle of neglect and poor management.

They spent the entire exchange period stocking up on recycled, underloved commodities who will hopefully give them a contest and earn them back some respect and then they let go of a recycled, underloved commodity who not only gave them a contest but turned himself into an elite player at his position.

Bizarre, just bizarre. They bought low and then somehow managed to sell lower.

If the sos man wasn't too busy recruiting gws rejects he might of had a clue others could be available when delisted suck it up buttercup

I mean I agree with you but I guess they don't want him there and are happy to not pay his salary for next year. Dumb decision by the suns though.

I don’t get the Nixon tweet and ‘draft tampering’ talk.

All GCS has to do was say we don’t care what contract you’ve been offered we’ll keep you next year, especially at this late stage of the off season when replacement options are limited.

Correct suns obviously didn't rate him enough to make him stay and play both parties agreed to part once delisted fair game except we had info from the brother what a shame

 

[buttermuffs]

It was a bit clear that Dew just didn’t have a preference for Lyons. I’m not sure why but it could be because he wants to blood younger guys and guys who seem more committed to the Suns. Like Barlow, I don’t think it was a question of skill.

I’m excited to have him. He will most likely be in our best 22 and hopefully Corey can take strides and crack in next year.

 

[One_Wing]

lol at linking a ricky nixon tweet

 

[Aramis]

Eliminating a whole section of the country seems a tad harsh

Tell that to the Tasmanians....

 

[HowYouDoin]

Lmao eat it flogs.

 

[Rod Stroker]

The mechanics of how this has happened aren't clear to me.
So the Suns cut him, and now he's going to Brisbane. Not traded. Not drafted. What if any of the other 16 clubs wanted him after the Suns cut him? Do/did they have the opportunity to pursue him, make him an offer? I find it really odd that a bloke with the numbers he put up this year, isn't being talked about by other clubs once it was known he could go anywhere without the need for a trade or chewing up a draft pick.

 

[The Inbetweener]

Noble confirmed this recently on a Lions podcast

Yeah and Wallis confirmed on SEN he was never truly thinking of leaving. People say what suits them

 

[anotherletdown]

How good would an alternate universe where Tassie had their own stand alone team and there was no Gold Coast be?

If the AFL was serious GWS would be in Canberra and GC in Tasmania. TV rights dictates otherwise.

At various times over the last 10 years I’ve had a very strong feeling NM, WB and the Bombers can consider themselves extremely lucky not to have been folded up and moved to Tassie, Canberra, western Sydney or GC...

Swans would love to have a crack at him. Looks like it was a closed shop even before opening time.

Population and infrastructure are the main reasons
