I thought that too but with benefits theyve recieved from the afl in regards to draft picks etc they probs have one of the best collection of young players however if they dont get some mature bodies around them to aid their development it might take them a bit longer to be successful than we think
How can you see this and why would we do this?

The fact that Ace turns up in that list is a reflection of our own problem finding a key forward... There isn't much out there.

SO can we close this thread yet?
"Everyone keeps throwing up Brisbane ruckman Matthew Leuenberger, but contract talks are at such an advanced stage in Brisbane we can virtually discount him from consideration."
Also I find it surprising that Ace is even on that list considering it's a Victorian article (I think). Guess the journalist has a fonder memory of the NAB cup then the Brisbane Match Committee.

While there is high certainty that Brisbane will re-sign Leuey, this thread is still valid until they actually do.
We'd be stupid to do that. You only ever trade an elite player when they want to leave the club and are out of contract.
I certainly can't see us doing that deal. I'm interested to know how you can see that happening.

It's not as bad as it sounds, how many will longer have played at the end of this year ? The first 2-3 years normally don't get too many games in for rucks. 120 would have definitely been better tho!

He's not that far behind the "games played" curve for ruckmen of his age.
He's not that far behind most the talls taken in the first round of the same draft either - Gumbleton (33), Hansen (88), B.Reid (84), N.Brown (79), Everitt (66), Sellar (43), M.Brown (59), Hampson (63).

Yeah, I was gonna say...for all of Leuey's injury woes, you've just got to look at Gumbleton's record and realise we've had it pretty good all things considered.
Glad this chat will be over soon. Not glad that the journos who rumour-monger won't have to face the music.

Unfortunately, we'll do it all again in 2 years time when his next contract expires when could be more in-demand next time around.
Nature of footy I spose.

Robbo saying other clubs would be surprised if Leuey was to sign and still think he is very gettable.
Gerard seemed pretty suss on the recent story saying he would be signing within the week.
Considering those words were from Kerr, I hope it wasn't him putting the cart before the horse with such a proclamation.
I think I will still be on edge until an announcement is officially confirmed.

I'm relaxed. Gerard said Cloke was 100 percent gone too.

Let's be honest the two of them would have the same knowledge of Brisbane contract negotiations as you and I would of performing brain surgery.

I don't watch any of the the Fox Footy shows anymore, only the footy. I tend to cut off anything negative I hear about the team (just ask a lot of the people I've unfollowed/unfriended on Twitter/Facebook!).
Childish, yes, but when I'm at home trying to relax after a hard days work putting up with idiots I don't really feel like having to read negative crap about my team.
Back on topic, Leuey can't go to GWS. Orange is SO not his colour. Maybe if it was a different shade (fluro?) you'd be right, but that shade of orange just clashes with everything.
