But hard-running onballer Tom Bell’s manager has confirmed to the Herald Sun he might seek a trade back to Brisbane in coming weeks.

Well, bugger.

If it's only a go home thing I couldn't blame him too much.

Go home factor. We need a COLA.

 

[RAPPA]

Go home factor. We need a COLA.

We certainly have a GTFO allowance which Hendo received.

See ya Bell - JaB no longer has any love for you- you great lump of hacky poo!

 

[Jatz]

I don't mind this. For the same reason I'm glad that Beams got back to QLD, I wouldn't begrudge Bell going back up if his old man is unwell.

His dad is sick and his mother died when he was young.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Genuine reason for Bell to go if his Dad is sick and even then homesickness is a valid reason. Can't really fault him as he had made the most of the talent he has and was one of a few to keep trying no matter how bad we got.

Yeah this.

The other thing is on-field Bell has never really "checked-out". He's given his all and has improved this year.

Would be sad to see him go, but if we wants to be home with his old man then it's understandable. Plus with his form having been pretty decent over the course of the year hopefully we can something decent in return.

Will always have a special place in my heart for putting Cotchin on his arse in 2013.

 

[Magruder]

not a bad sort is Belly. even so "confirmed" he "might" seek a trade.

 

[Cringle]

Go over to the Brisbane or GC board and it's more "We'll be able to get Bell on the cheap".

Why are all our players supposed to be going for nothing?

They won't as he is contracted for another year.

Go tell them Cringle.

 

[james Dean]

At least it will shut all the Brisbane fans up who have whinged non stop about Doc, Yeo and the others who left them

Didn't wanna laugh.........

 

[Mezzoculo]

Go over to the Brisbane or GC board and it's more "We'll be able to get Bell on the cheap".

Because of our firesale last year, I'm guessing. The club has hardly covered itself in glory these past few years on the player management front...

unless of course he stays... he is contracted remember

 

[Dramoth]

What do they think that we'll do... crawl over broken glass for a 5th round pick... for a contracted required player?

I beg to differ. They either pony up a good player and their second round pick or we hold on to him.

 

[Canyouhearthedrums]

Given the situation and the fact he is one of the few has continued to give it everything this year, can't help but wish him all the best.

 

[Neese]

I've enjoyed his improvement this year

 

[LordLucifer]

FORMER Brisbane Lions captain Jed Adcock will play out the rest of the season despite being told this week by coach Justin Leppitsch that his contract would not be renewed for 2016.

According to Brisbane Lions CEO Greg Swann, the 29-year-old wanted to know his future before the season ended but AFL.com.au understands he was still disappointed at the decision.

 

[The Old Dark Navy's]

Are you associating Adcock with the Bell trade?

 

[Blue__Balls]

He'd be a free agent, wouldn't he?

Just offer him 2 years at $350k, can't see anyone giving him much more than that.

 

[AB_Blue]

If his dad's crook then I have absolutely no issue at all in seeking a return home

 

[F_therest]

Would be sad to see Bell go.

One of the few players to show improvement this year and always give his all.
A big unit like him who runs all day, cracks in hard and can kick goals is something that i'd like to keep in the team.
