News Trade thread for one score and four Lincoln McCarthy (picks 42 & 60 for Lincoln McCarthy, 54 & 57)

[Live in hope]

If his body holds up you will be delighted- not super quick but agile, good goal sense, really hard (as in will hurt a few) tackler whose marking makes him a difficult matchup.
Good luck Linc at the Lions!

What does Lincoln McCarthy have to offer?? Small forward isn’t he?

He’s a freak when up and running, just have to get him on the park and keep him there, which is easier said than done.

Like Marcus Adams this doesnt inspire alot of confidence. But if this had .01% bearing on Neales decision then I can be ok with that.

Both are gambles..if one pays off we are well ahead and as you say Linc might have helped the Neale move

2010 "X" factor...still playing on your mind?

Far from saying it's all doom and gloom that's for sure.

And thanks to you guys. The best club to deal with at the trade table.

A heap of talent.

Hopefully a change of scenery helps with his injury history. Very highly regarded at our club but just hasn’t put it together. In the scheme of things the Lions are not giving up a lot, so there is not a huge risk attached anyway.

Here is hoping for a 20 game, 35 goal season!

Warmer weather, more solid training grounds seem to be making a difference now in a positive way although we have had a change in medical staff and sent Brett Burton back to the Crows. Funny we used to complain the hard grounds were responsible for injuries and playing on the Gabba that still has a cricket pitch in it. Mind you last year we did have the smallest injury list but that one one year in a row right now. We are excited to have Linc here and hopefully we can help him achieve his goals but if it helps us land Neale then even better.

Guess things could change in 10 days but doesn't seem like Thurlow expects to be joining him in Brisbane then.

 

[cotter101]

Good pickup. Welcome Linc!

 

[Brizzys Squizzy]

Can forget thurlow he's all but slim chance to join us

I just realised McCarthy isn’t Cory Gregson (srs). Whoops.

 

[MSB ROYS]

Welcome Lincoln!

I'm not super enthused by what I've seen of McCarthy, but at least he's a genuine small forward- we've only got one on our list at the moment.

sometimes a new start is great for a player with a lot of injuries..
Hope his best footy is in front of him with us.

That’s surprising. He is a tricky player to match up on due to his marking ability, tackles hard, has a good goal sense, is smart.

Looks the goods to me if he gets his body right.

Big if, but there is a reason he was a much loved player!

Love the honesty.

"So why did you choose Brisbane?"

"Because they were interested which is nice."
