I heard this morning that Troy Selwood resigned with the lions on a two year deal. What are your thoughts people? :thumbsd:

U guys should try and develop a player from the start from the draft instead of getting players from other clubs, in that way, u wont lose any draft picks when trading and get accused of making wrong decisions related to recruiting.

No real surprise.

That leaves Matthew Lappin as our best bet in the PSD and it wouldnt shock me to see him re-sign with the Blues too.

Are there any others we could consider? Or do we bypass the PSD and promote all three rookies?

(Not Camporeale thanks. Although it would be funny to pinch him from the Bombers)

Sydney Port and Brisbane have won flags by recruiting players from other clubs - why do you think that its a bad idea? Where did you get Lynch Pike Michael and B Scott from? A Cornflakes packet?

So if the opportunity arose for Brisbane to select a young player potential, you would knock it back?

The operative word is "RECRUIT". Not screw another club and get a player on the cheap. Collingwood's predatory behaviour is what gets people and other clubs off side. As far as the players mentioned I think you need to get your facts correct.

Pike delisted by North picked up in the draft by the Lions.
Michael, traded honourably with Collingwood. Player and draft pick exchanged. No one got screwed.
B. Scott traded honourably with Hawthorn. Player and draft picks involved in the trade. No club got screwed.
Lynch is the only one that I as a Lions supporter would have a?? ??
over. However, following that trade the club instituted a change in practices and standards and has not consciously acted in a predatory manner when recruiting for players and dealing with other clubs. Currently there are only few players on the list that come from another club. Michael and B Scott that I can think of. All the rest are developed by the club.

I think Broadie Holland would like Camporeale at the Pies. He could use him as a punching bag. :p

Wakelin Holland Licuria Buckley Rocca Clement Morrison - all traded honorably to Collingwood.

Caracella and O'Bree were dumped by the Lions. The Lions had a choice between keeping Caracella, or retiring off Pike and White, and they chose to keep the has beens and dump Blake. Your choice pal. Only O'Bree has been a geniune freebie, but do you really want him back?

We are hardly building a side around those two freebies.

If holding a club to ransom is being honourable then that is new to me.
 
the tide is about to turn, mind you didnt complain when we swapped molloy for michael
 
the younger selwood in next years draft is what clubs want. will be top 5 pick. so its good he is staying in bris cause he lacks class.we need skillful types!
