Rumour Would you do this deal?

Buckley clearly loves big boobs:

Did Buckley know Dank/Charters?

Shoe on the other foot, if Gunston was only worth Pick 24, I'd suggest Kennedy would be worth in the thirties. Gunston had shown more upside when he left us compared to Kennedy.

It would be nice to be on the receiving end of homesickness.

yes but stupidly, we gifted the best team in the comp a gun youngster for minimal return. Should have played hard ball there - esp given the manner Gunston left. Why we did him any favours I will never know.

Gunston was traded for picks that got us Kerridge, Jenkins & Grigg (after some intermediate trades).

You would have preferred we got nothing instead?

If Mitchell or Judd were in the SANFL at Lyons age they would be BOG every week Lyons is not M Crouch seems to have passed him in his first year

You realise Lyons was BoG in the SANFL something like 16 times last year, right?

Judd is on another level, I wouldn't have him in the conversation, but I can see Lyons being a Mitchell type player.

Not sure on how many times this year, but given he's effectively been stopped from playing consistent footy, it's probably dropped off. Start of the year, he was consistently in the best.

I would hope the selectors don't gift selection based on what happened 12 months ago

Cool. How many votes did he win the Magarey by?

Brodie Martin is a great example of what can happen when a player is given a stretch of full games.

That's a funny/depressing comment to read as someone who has followed Lyons' career closely.

To give you some frame of reference, have a glance over this. Bear in mind that the SANFL team he played for was also complete arse. http://www.aflplayerratings.com.au/Ratings/Player/116567/Jarryd-LYONS

Kennedy dropped again..

 

[Tex200]

Kennedy dropped again..

Yeah and on the pies board it's like .....3,2,1 - kaboom

 

[feenix67]

Surely he's coming home now... the question is, will it be us or the other mob?

 

[The Karma Bus]

Just seen that
Kennedy is definitely our Lyons..

They brought Tony Armstrong in, but Kennedy is dropped..
Wtf..

 

[Ravenous Crow]

Kennedy dropped again..

Made way for Tony Armstrong.

I'd be pretty upset if I were Kennedy. Maybe not so much in the "I need to consider moving to another club" sense. Probably more in the "I need to travel to the Himalayas and reassess my life" sense.

 

[feenix67]

Given the lack of depth at the Pies at the moment, you'd have to be dark if you were Kennedy. I didn't even know Armstrong was still running around.

You also have to question Collingwood's selection strategy, crazy stuff.

 

[Elite Crow]

Maybe they know he's going and don't want to waste any more time on him, fingers crossed

Every second week not enough I guess.

Sando and Bucks are pretty similar. Kinda like Matt Crouch out, Reily in.

Lyons has been BOG in the SANFL a heap of times. If he played a whole season in the SANFL i would put a quick 100 on him for the medal.

I know what people are saying about Lyons but you only have to see Thomas last seasons to suggest staring in the SANFL doesn't mean much!

Way to change the goal posts.

How about 'gifting' him so games 12 months ago then? Maybe when Thommo was a cripple, and M Crouch wasn't on our list?

He's our best performed SANFL player over the last few years, by an absolute mile. The lack of opportunity he's received is baffling - especially when we've been worse than mediocre for most of the last 18 months.

There's "starring" in the SANFL, and then there's what Lyons does, which is make the people he plays against look 2nd rate.

 

[King Elvis]

Somebody needs to demand Lyons play for the rest of the year in the AFL squad, so we don't lose him due to Sando's incompetence.

 

[Draft Bored]

Has signed with Collingwood apparently.

Lyons?

Bloody hell, hope we get Kennedy for him then
