Nothing really new but anyway.

From the Courier Mail

Lions talent manager Rob Kerr said the club had not given up on Longer.

“We've said all along that we want to retain Billy. Hopefully this has reinforced to him that he may get more opportunities by staying with Brisbane,” Kerr said.

“All parties concerned are going to re-group and we'll have more discussions in the coming days.”
Meanwhile, Carlton appear set to offer a second-round pick for defender Sam Docherty.

The Western Bulldogs have also thrown their hat into the ring for Docherty in exchange for forward Jarrad Grant.

Fremantle are assembling a package to lure Elliot Yeo to the Dockers while Adelaide midfielder Matthew Wright is considering a move to Brisbane in exchange for the homesick Jared Polec.

12. But not on the table next is 27 & 28 I think.
We paid 12 for him 2 years ago. He's seemed to break into our 22 this year, and looks to have a lot of promise. It's been suggested that he wasn't quite worth 12, but realistically, if he's made our 22 in his second year, he can't have fallen too much. I would suggest that 15 would be fair, but with him wanting out, depending on options, it'd devalue him a bit more. I'd think it'd be a reasonable deal if the pick began with a '1'. If you start going into the 20s, that's an awful lot of devaluation for a player attracting attention all across Victoria.

Cheers Spot the Dog & Lionheart.

Could be an interesting outcome. Would you reckon Laidler & 28 would get it done?
Doubtful seeing as though if we really wanted Laidler we would pick him up as a delisted free agent.

Although I'd imagine if he does go to Carlton it would be a similar deal to this.

Wright is a genuine blue collar small mid forward, he has played some very good games for the crows. I would be happy to take Grant, his last half of the year was very good, he is not a key position, but he would improve our forward line based on his output at the end of last season.

More news on Polec according to Rucci.

Brisbane - which is facing the loss of several young players in go-home exits - is firm in its view it wants a readymade player rather than draft picks for Polec.

Port certainly has no player willing to become a Lion - and is reluctant to trade players it values at Alberton.

The Power is now offering its second-round draft pick (No. 30) to an AFL rival who can deliver a suitable player to Brisbane to be part of first-year coach Justin Leppitsch's new program.

I might prove to be totally mistaken, but I reckon there's a good chance we're leaking misinformation about our negotiations with Adelaide to try and force the Power to put their first round pick on the table.

It's good because we know Adel won't say a word.

hey guys what do we know about matthew wright ? is he a fair swap for polec
Would not be happy with a Matthew wright for Polec swap. We would be majorly screwed in that deal. Sam kerridge is a decent mid on the Adelaide list that I think would be a reasonably equal trade for Polec.

Yeah, all just smoke and mirrors until the deals are done and dusted. Fun speculating though.
