Has Luke signed up with Brisbane yet? If not, then we should have a crack at him. If we get rid of the likes of Lappin and Houlihan which will free up space to feed Power what he wants, which is $$$

Thoughts???

Big song and dance made at a press conference a while ago about how he was close to re-signing. That was 2 months ago. Still not been signed up. I wonder what the delay is?
Is he having second thoughts?

WHY WOULD HE WANT TO COME TO CARLTON
 
Luke Power is an absoulute star. He led the Lions is kicks, total disposals, was 2nd in tackles, and would be close to their B&F. He was probably the most consistant player from Brisbane, held strong through a tough year, took the extra responsibility well when half the side was out injured/suspended. An extremely valuable asset, I'm sure Brisbane will do whatever it takes for him to re-sign.
 
He has not signed yet, but you would need to get Sam Power to make Luke Power come to you in the pre season draft.

Sam Power is signed for 2 more years, but give us Whitnall or your pick 4 and you can have him.

You would Get Luke Power (worth a pick 4, taken pick 5) and Sam Power (taken pick 10) for pick 4 or Lance Whitnall.

No he did not. Just like I said before. Spoke about "getting closer" to signing but that was 2 months ago.

I'm sorry...........are yo suggesting that we give you pick 4 and whitnall for somebody who you would delist anyway if he wern't contracted? You do realise how stupid this sounds don't you?

Do you no what the word OR means, he would not be delisted by the way.

You would only get Luke Power to leave Brisbane if you got Sam Power.

Think of it this way you Get Luke Power (pre season draft pick 1) and Sam Power for Lance Whitnall or Pick 4.

Try doing a deal with the Lions which would cost you Pick 4 but then you would still have to trade for Sam Power, and the dogs would not let Sam go for anything less then pick 19.

What would you prefer out of giving the dogs pick 4 or lance whitnall compared to giving up pick 4 and 19.

It simple you trade for Sam Power with Luke going into the pre season draft, its a lot like the Veale deal from 2 years ago.

Luke Power is not worth pick 4. He turns 26 before the season starts next year. His form is down this year. Sam Power does not look like a good player at all. Taken him 4 years to play 50 games and he is going backwards.
Trading Whitnall to get Luke who would want a long term and hefty deal and then having to take Sam Power who as far as I am concerned is just taking up room on the list is a move backwards.
If this is what we would do with pick 4or Lance and first pick in the PSD I would be shattered.

Form is slighly down, not down by much however. Last year he made the AA side, and was brilliant. He averaged 22.20 possessions and over 3 tackles a game. However this season he started slowly, just started to pick up his play then the broke his hand. He came back and got BOG in his next 3-4 games. He actually averaged 22.25 possessions this year, and once again over 3 tackles. He is such a great player because he can play in the middle, up forward (has kicked 50 goals in a season), or float across half back. An extremely valuable player.
