Not sure how they can get #2 for Leunberger. Bloke is an average ruckman with terrible injury track record. Surely no one will offer a big enough contract to warrant first round pick compo?!
Frawley got the Dees pick 3. Someone will offer Luey a 400-500K deal, which is near what Frawley got. It's the AFL's way of giving Brisbane a boost without having anyone complain they're giving them a priority pick. Instead of an end of first, 2nd rounder you get pick 2 as FA compo and oh, that's just how the formula worked out. No different than last year with Melbourne.

Not sure why Adcock isn't getting at least another season, he was only their captain still not long ago.
Not sure, maybe they're going down that Mark Neeld route of booting every single senior player for kids, which doesn't usually work that well.

Weird, after an article today about McGuane having 3 weeks to play for a new deal after like 6 games in years - he's what 29?

Adcock would be better than McGuane.

Its a funny thing for Brisbane... the club shows no loyalty to the oldies and the young ones show no loyalty to the club.
They wonder why kids dont wanna stay up there. Rockliff can go on and on all he likes, and he does, but reality is they're a rotten club at present.

We should definitely be looking at Redden. Mad not to if he's into leaving.

Look at our team this week. We have Thommo and VB on the field, Knight, Lyons, Atkins on the bench.
This is while Mackay spuds it up and Grigg + Kegde can't get a game.

We have B Crouch in the wings if he ever gets fit, but we need some quality mids to really challenge. 3 or so more of them.

Now we all hope that Grigg, Kedge, The crouches, Knight, Lyons, Atkins, (Mackay and VB) etc stand up and become A graders so we can challenge in 2016 and 2017. But not all of them will.

Get Redden.

(Also defence looks suspect, but I'd suggest it's not a priority with no decent tall defenders up for trade that we have a chance of getting. Lever, Harto and Cheney will just have to get it done).

Read the article. First time I've really come into this thread, and it was to say we should be chasing redden!

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He's not giving up any info unless 100% accurate.
redhorse was great with his info, I never had problems at all with anything he said. He never said anything was a guarantee and he did give us the Cameron rumour well before anyone else.

redhorse please post any potential inside info, it does make for interesting reading.

Am I missing something? Carlisle wants out because his club is terrible.

And he wants to go to Carlton? The only reason I can possibly think of is that he shares the first four letters of his surname with them.
Think you will find there will be a significant turnover from essendon as many of the players have had enough. Good luck to Adrian D trading at a discount with wada hanging over them...

So we have some ELITE talent on the market with the likes of Yarran, Motlop, Aish, Scharenberg, Carlisle, Hendo etc and even more so they are players in areas of dire need for us...

But yet everyone is jumping at the idea of getting another pure inside midfielder in Redden.
