If he leaves Brisbane it will be only to go to the Crows IMO.
Can’t see any other club in the mix

Yeah me too, I heard Murray Davis is his stepfathers partner or something like that.

Murray Davis is Gay? I hope his wife knows.

If Port lose Butters, which seems likely, they will be cashed up and will put a massive offer to him. He could be the missing piece of the puzzle.

Brisbane match and force a trade

If you guys offered him $1.4M at 7 years then he wouldn't be leaving.

If Brisbane could match the offer he would stay.

If Brisbane were able to match the Crows offer they would be offering it to him now. It would be a poorly ran club if he asked for 1.4m and they said no, and then match Adelaide's 1.4m during trade season.
Brisbane wont match anything.

We have the cap space, it’s a list management decision around what we are willing to spend on a single player.

That means you don't have the space.

Rough gig when the Ashcroft’s come up to contract then surely? Will is a 2 million dollar player

Both Ashcrofts signed until end of 2030. So got a little while.

Logan Morris is the one I feel like we'd be wary of in terms of $$.

According to Twomey and Mitch Clearly Lions have the money to match

 

[Cyclops]

I want to get back to the beach debate.

Come to the shipwreck coast you cowards! Get smashed at Johanna, red for the blood and blue for the bruises.

They hold the pro at Bells not Mission Beach or some other made up place.

You just said Brisbane don't.
And they've done no such thing.

Where did I say they don’t why are you putting words in my posts

Can't spend it on a single player = can't afford him

 

[Maboo]

The Lions have stated they have the room to match, but I think the only way they do, is to try and force a trade.
That would be a gamble, as the Crows could turn around and say keep him then and the Lions are stuck overpaying a player, risking the whole pay structure, so I don't think we match

Zac is the type of player you play big money for Lions wants to keep him nothing wrong with our cap

 

[M Malice]

I'd be gobsmacked if the Lions make Zac our highest paid player, he does not deserve more money than the likes of Harris Andrews

he’s what we hoped Rayner would be goal kicking midfielder we don’t have many on our list and none coming through the academy you don’t let him go for a useless pick

Brisbane match and force a trade

If the money being mentioned right
i doubt you would have $1.7/1.8 in the cap to match a bid

 

[Elixuh]

If a team wants to make ZB their marquee player and pay him $1.8mpa he should take it.

 

[ABAB]

$10M at 7 years so $1.4M and Brisbane has offered $6M at 6 years. Essendon offered $1.7M???

 

[THE_GUN]

If a team wants to make ZB their marquee player and pay him $1.8mpa he should take it.

The thing is they dont have to make him a marquee player with that type of money
Clubs like Richmond , West Coast and probably others have cap space to use up or lose and have to consider it as a purchase.

Just as a guide Richmond have lost just about every player over $600k on the list and will retire the likes of Lynch , Prestia and Broad this season and have 20-25 players on rookie salaries for 2027 and another 10 that would have already been fron loaded this season. chances are they could probably pay $6-8 mil in the first 2 years of that contract
