Dogs, North, and Hawks are all mentioned.

What's the call Lions fans? If he were to request a trade what's the likely price? Any discounts for exporting our elder statesmen up your way?

would go for less than what hes actually worth but thats what happens when youre stuck behind other players in a team at the pointy end

hope he signs on, would be the ideal player to take mccarthy's spot in a couple years time

 

[The Nostradamus]

Happy to take him for a token late pick

 

[M Malice]

Leave our Kai alone... huge upside for this guy.

No doubt the Lions would be falling over themselves for that

He’s out of contract you’ve got no leverage if he wants to leave and come home

Maryborough isn't actually suburban Melbourne...

 

[Golden_6]

I’d be comfortable handing over a future 2nd for him.

This only really works if you’re dealing with the wooden spooners. There’s no PSD threat since Hawks or West Coast could take him if no deal was reached. If it got to that point, Lohmann can easily just extend with the Lions for the single year and deal with a team willing to pay a reasonable price the following year

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Plays a bit taller than his height, doesn’t he?

 

[JasRulz63]

Plays a bit taller than his height, doesn’t he?

Yeah. Play style wise he's a good replacement for Lincoln McCarthy (at least attacking wise anyway).

 

[HeHateMe]

I wonder if the Hawthorn/Brisbane connection will play any part if he is enjoying his footy at the Lions but just wishes to return home.

I'll give you Blake Coleman for that one.

Please stop saying “no leverage”. Normally a deal gets done and normally both parties get a fair deal.

Let me rephrase if you are that pedantic

Less leverage than if he were under contract

 

[Rich01]

Richmond were keen on him in his draft year.
Haven’t heard whether we still are though.

Wouldn’t think he would cost much trade wise given exposed form.

 

[Tom14]

21 disposals and 7 goals in the VFL (admittedly against Coburg). Going to be a very good AFL player when he gets his chance - just hope it is with us.

north will take him for a token pick where he can be backup to the likes of kayne turner

 

[Warhorse]

I was told that he was one of the names on Geelongs radar in his draft year. Looks a talent and should be back into the AFL team shortly

Yeah I think Cal Twomey said after the draft that Richmond and Geelong were interested.

He was yes before brisbane took him first. Im not sure we would be as keen now we have ollie henry and dempsey though as all three of them are similar player types (i do like lohmann though).

 

[Warwick]

Need to find a way of getting him into the team. Is going to be a special player.

Unless we decide to jump at North's 'token late pick'.

Don't think he's quite as good a mark as henry but maybe a bit more dynamic with ball in hand? Not to say he can't take a grab over his head, just think Henry's pretty special in that regard.

Lohmann's had some ludicrous VFL games, a lot of 18-22 touches and 3+ goals. Hopefully he can see a spot in the team opening up with Zorko likely retiring and all our small forwards 28/29.

Oh look i think hes very good lohmann i do agree henry is a better mark (henry is ridiculously good above his head for his size as is his brother) but lohmann has more speed and is more dynamic.I just meant more hes similar to henry and dempsey in that all of them mark well for their size but are third tall fwds (ie not kpfs and not small fwds) who probably wont become full time mids. In geelongs system cameron will be the focal point for years (im talking post hawkins) and stengle close and miers are essential (because of the way they contribute to our defensive pressure and ball movement) so that really only leaves one or two spots for non mids in our fwd line. Unless lohmann plans to become a full time mid down the track he would find it easier to get games as a fwd at clubs other than us (hawks, north, essendon probably all examples of this).

I can see him becoming part of a midfield rotation
