Suns got picks to burn..... a non contest

Will they burn them though?

(I think they will)

    As someone else said, he's unlikely to leave QLD as he wanted to stay there with his gf in the first place. I think he'll go to GC. He's the sort of player they need, and they clearly have the means to make it happen..

    Michael Voss should do one of those 'idiot's guide' books and title it, 'How to completely ruin a football club in 18 months'..

    You mean "Trading for Dummies..."

    But seriously, they were doing okay at 4-0, weren't they.

    Appearances can be deceptive.

    Its not just the trading and drafting strategy which has been mostly disastrous, but also his non-inclusive way of dealing with his coaching staff. From the things i've heard, he's too much of a dictator and doesnt give enough responsibility to his assistants - which could explain the revolving door of assistant coaches that have come and gone since he took over..

    I think Jonathon Brown was probably the main reason they were 4-0. As soon as he fell away, so did the rest of the team.

    Looks like today they've just lost another one, albeit this time he was "sacked".

    PR machine in full-effect.

    Signing with GC tomorrow...

    Just been made official...

    Good signing. will lead their midfield with Swallow

    If GC has 'officially' signed any Melbourne players they would certainly have announced them by now, considering they've had 2 signings announcments.

    I'm definitely hoping no Melbourne players leave to GC.

    I hope Jones backs himself, signs for 1 year, has a good season then goes to GWS.

    I he goes to GC this year we won't get enough for him because we weren't smart enough to rig the B&F.

    Re: Rischitelli, I think they have to get a 1st round pick for him, not an AFTER 1st round pick like the crows.

    Rischitelli has been in significantly better form and is 3 years younger than Bock.

    Not good enough for a pick BEFORE the 1st round, but the Lions could certainly use it, to rebuild their current shambles of a list.

  • Quote

    Seeing as the Lions have not yet held their B&F and the compensation is apparently dependent on that, do the Lions now have to wait until after the results, even though he has signed, before they find out what compensation they will receive..?

    Rigging B&F's to get better value? You do like a conspiracy.

  • Quote

    I do.

    You'd need to be fairly sure he wanted to leave and you'd need to know early on, but it could easily have been done for a player like Rischitelli, if he hadn't had an exceptional season.

    Lucky for the Lions, he has.

    (or UNLUCKY)

    You really have to LOL at Voss. Takes on the senior role without even 1 year of coaching experience as an assistant. Thinks he's gods gift to coaching. He has officially [censored] up the lions for years to come.

    Brisbane:

    Receive- Fevola (cancer for any club)

    Cost

    - pick 12

    - Henderson... very promising player

    - Bradshaw... left as a direct result of Voss' treatment of him during the Fev deal. Is at least the equal of Fevola and is a quality player

    - Rischitelli.. quality midfielders who also left bc of Voss shafting him during Fev deal

    - who'll be next... Drummand, Brennan rumoured to being leaving, could be interpreted as an indirect result of the Fev deal

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.
