Spandermann Delisted

[Wizard]

Big LLane Spandermann has been oficially delisted by Brisbane whihc means he is now avaliable to nominate for the national draft if he feels the need of just the pre-season if thats his choice.
If he nominates for the national draft i think we should use our 4th rounder instead of passing it and pick him with that instead of waiting to the pre-season draft.
Or maybe even take him with our third pick if push comes to shove.

i cant believe they got rid of him
pick no 18 and only given 2 years,thats harsh
freo could do with him and hell dominate back home

Freo could do with a backup ruckman.
Spandermann migh be able to fill that roll. However can't really see him adding lot to or best 22
I think he might be a bit slow to play key postition

 

[Cap]

they might put him back him the rookie list ?

he was one of the guys I think the Crows were looking at
maybe we will pick him up - in need of a forward

 

[hopeless]

Why was he delisted by Brisbane? With their aging list you would think they would keep him. Has he got a bad reputation or is he just not up to it? I don't know much about him.

it's a weird one, they delisted 3 kids and gave none of them any oppurtunity at AFL level really. Llane got 3 games, 1 he got injured and the other 2 Brissy got absolutely smashed (and he was playing in the forward line), not exactly a lot of chances.
I know Llane definitely wants to come back to perth if possible, preferably west coast as he supported them before he joined brissy. I'm sure he wouldn't say no to Freo though

My thought would be to rookie list him and see how he goes, that way if he doesn't work out it's not a big drama, but he can be called up if your main ruckmen go down.

Apparently he likes to party and doesn't take his footy seriously enough. Sometimes being delisted is a wakeup call and helps young players pull their head out of the clouds. Hopefully the club talk to him and if he is committed he is worth a punt.

To use 4 draft picks we would need to delist another player and it's hard to decide on the 5 or 6 players we already have to cut. The rookie list might be our best option since we have several places openning up for next season.

WHY?

Because he's a big DUD! and has nothing to offer Freo.

Geez, you have some pretty harsh opinions on the kid. He was a first round draft pick, played well in the QAFL (3rd in the grogan medal in his first year) and got virtually zero chances at AFL level. Why a dud?
Will be a good pickup for the royals if he doesn't get picked up by anyone I guess.

Could it just be the Lions are feeling the pinch of salary cap pressure? Retaining guys like Luke Power and Jonathon Brown etc and their forced reduction of the salary cap are leaving them having to look at other avenues to get around it (recruit international players etc).

it certainly looks bl00dy tight, especially if troy selwood leaves you have to think there is a squeeze.

WHY?

Why not?

 

[YAKUZA]

Why not?

Because he is a big soft dud who is not worth any of our picks let alone the ones you want to waste. Do you think Brisbane would unload him if he was any good?

good chance they'll have to let selwood go too - is that because he's a big soft dud who's not worth anything?

YAKUZA you posted this on the Lions site. Can you please respond to my reply there? Thank you in advance.
Cheers

I'd rookie list him. He could be a handy backup ruckman or an absolute dud, either way he wouldn't cost us much.
