Greg Denham saying lions offered Astbury 3 years on good money.
Dave's manager demanded 4, on more money

Lions said cheerio

Poor management

Lmao

Geez weve been matrixing it up this off-season

My god. If that is true, the manager makes Ralph Carr look good.

Found this on the net. It's pretty much half of us on here when we melt:

I think his manager is Alex McDonald...... what a fool.

 

[budmazoz]

Why? You can trade players for first round picks.

correct but I would prefer we had the option without having to lose a player or rely on another team to trade

 

[Stitch]

Even if Astbury strung together 15 games next season, we still wouldn't offer him 4 years. Way too injury prone

 

[TimmytheTiger]

Don't blink Blair... Just a couple of hours to go. Seige mentality.

 

[Tiger71]

Also 19 has power in the sense the blues have 2 picks straight after. Surely they will understand if they lose us Yarran, we will just return serve and nab a kid they wanted. ?

Sounds to me Dave Astbury never really wanted to leave and threw out a crazy deal to Brisbane to scare them off.

Dosent sound right to me. Dave would take 3 surely. Doubt we would re-sign him for more than 2 if we are left with him

Wow! All the biggies in one post, well done.

Explain where I'm wrong? Have we looked like winning a final in 15 years? Did our football department claim we have a 'warchest' for prospective recruits? I feel sorry for you, swallowing the excuses.

 

[Tigey]

This makes me sick

Stinks of someone who doesnt want to leave

 

[fargothegreat]

I wouldn't do the trade even if it was 11+18 , if we trade out 12 we cant trade two first rounders together for 4 years

11 and 18 are still first rounders, so we would still be able to trade more first rounders in subsequent years

Half time of 2013 we sure did

Blair should get on the Twitter and post a pic of him on the golf course. Melts would be ace

Stay classy:

They really want Tomlinson. We can only assume they have agreed on a ballpark pick in which Carlton are now pressuring us for.

We will not cave in. Yarran = Pick 19. Though I don't think 19 lands Carlton Tomlinson.

 

[deledio7]

I'm over listening to you whingers, whinge. I know you've typed something, but all I can read is "wah, wah, wah."

So as a paid up member I'm meant to be happy we are the most unsuccessful club of the last 30 and we are incapable of luring A grade talent as well as not looking like winning a final? Wake up.

This.

How long to go on his current contract?

Especially when he only has 1 year left on a Richmond contract and if he doesn't pull his finger out next year he's gone.

They're probably saying the same thign as us. pick 12 for Yarran and 20. Leaves us with back to back

 

[Tiger71]

You know, I would prefer to hold the line. Even though I really want Yarran, if they dont accept 19 keep it. We could get a gem at 12 and Rioli at 19 for example.

Getting a bit over your negativity champ.

Have some faith son!

Correct me if I am wrong but next year we wouldn't be able to do a deal like the filth did for Trelor offering our first and next years first ( without relying on another team trading us a first rounder )
