When news first came out I was devastated to hear the news and thought no pick outside 10 would be able to ease the pain. Now that emotion has died down, I am not livid with pick 21, I know it is under's but it is not a catastrophe imo.
The whole 21 pick is rubbish and as Brisbane will be using their other picks on academy players they didn't really have anything else to offer.
Why don't the afl then allow future picks to be traded (i think they can do that in the nfl).
Pick 21 this year, and Brisbanes 3rd round pick next year (whatever that may be).
I think the clubs and AFLPA might be interested in this as it gives a little more leeway in trades, and allows clubs to manage their delisitings and drafts for the following seasons.

Maybe they could redraft etc - but they won't. He is not the same type of player for starters and would not have been delisted in the first place if they thought he was going to make it.
Here's the link to the non-paywall version of the article in The Australian.

Doesn't say much apart from the fact that Christenson will sign a 4-year deal, for pick 21, and he passed the medical easily.

trade radio saying allen for 21 will be lodged at 3pm.
Not gunna happen. They obviously don't think he's upto AFL level, and at this stage 17 other clubs agree.
Wonder how long Brisbane has been in his ears for. Only personal reason he is leaving is to have a large bulge in his back pocket.
It doesn't sound like that's the case. I'm not sure how you know he doesn't have other personal reasons for going.

Can you please tweet that photo to @BigFootyCATS?
He deleted his twitter account straight after the news came out he wanted to be traded.

I don't pretend to be an expert on recruiting and the draft but I reckon Pick 21 is utter bulltish.

I agree, but I don't know the facts behind why Bundy wanted out so desperately, and until today I thought he was contracted.
I have no doubt Bundy is better than a pick 21.
What I'd like to have seen is something out of Balme / Geelong recognizing Bundy's "issues" but also something recognizing the club's position, even if a bit of chest beating. To say Bundy has us over a barrel because he would just go in the draft makes no sense given he only wants to go to Brisbane, and in a draft could theoretically end up anywhere (unless other clubs were told on the quiet "don't draft me because I only want to go to Brisbane".)
At the end of the day the club's obligation is not to a player wanting out but to those who remain, the members and sponsors.

I sincerely hope Geelong stays out of this 5 way deal. If we end up with picks 30 & 48 for Christensen then we have lost big time. Pick 21 is a good return, especially if Greenwood is worth pick 25 then Bundy is comparable in value. I'm feeling nervous we're going to get reamed by Collingwood & Brisbane here
Well we should find out in about an hour. They said news should come in, as they have a principle agreement. Where have I heard that before
in regard to Bundy....so I guess we wait out with baited breath.
"Sounding like Allen Christensen will officially move to the Brisbane Lions this afternoon ... paperwork a formality after clubs agreed in principle on Friday pending a medical check on his back over the weekend"

What's this Bull***t

The proposed five-way trade;
Collingwood:
IN: Pick 5, 21, 25 (on traded), Levi Greenwood, Travis Varcoe, Jack Crisp
OUT: Dayne Beams, Heritier Lumumba, pick 25, 30 + 48
BRISBANE:
IN: Dayne Beams, Allen Christensen
OUT: Pick 5, 21, 25, Jack Crisp
MELBOURNE:
IN: Heritier Lumumba
OUT: Mitch Clark
NORTH MELBOURNE:
IN: Pick 25
OUT: Levi Greenwood
GEELONG:
IN: Mitch Clark, Pick 30 & 48
OUT: Travis Varcoe, Allen Christensen
If this goes through I will eat my hat. The longer this goes on the more pick 21 looks like a blessing.
Hope they lock in Bundy for pick 21 asap otherwise I can feel us getting stitched up something shocking.
