Maybe because negotiations are stalling, the GC may not be offering Bruce exactly what he wants and that may not be too different to what Melbourne are offering. therefore, after 2pm today, if they haven't signed him up, they still have to possibility of the remainder of trade week.

I do believe they have traded a pick already (in the Brennan deal I think - not sure if he was uncontracted or not).

From previous posts you have on this matter, it's obvious that you're a Bruce lover, I'm not knocking that, but I replied to a post stating facts, so that people understand how this CAN unfold, not based on a posters personal opinion. I'm not saying it will happen, I'm saying it CAN happen.

Come to think of it, isn't Brennan still contracted ? Fevola looks like staying and they have to free up their cap somehow. Bruce is an uncontracted player is what I'm getting at, it adds up.

 

Listening to trade radio I gathered Brennan has definitely gone to Gc

Brennan is not in uncontracted category. 1/club and that was Rishcitelli (I know, spelling)

Really? It Obvious? Don't know where you got that from. I'm neither a lover nor hater for the record. Cam has his good points and his not so good points. He has given good service to the club.

It could be for a pick though, and not be one of the two "uncontracted players" they are allowed.

Therefore deepthroats mail could be right. The two could well be Fraser & Bruce.

edit: maybe not, it's past 2pm and haven't heard anything....stay tuned.

That wasn't the point of my thread. As previously informed, I stated that so that people that aren't up to speed as much as others can understand the whole story, nbot just that of someone who thinks they know it all.

So, if Brennan was contracted, does that mean they only have picked up 7 uncontracted players? Does this then mean they are 1 short of the 8 that they "wanted"?

He has given us good service, but we are a professional football club, not an RSL.


For GC to get Brennan they have to trade.

As far as I can see they can trade for him until monday if they wish

Pick 5 ?!

Pick 5 for Brennan AND Pick 10.

GC: Get Brennan & Pick 10

Brisbane: Get Pick 5.

Yes, this is correct, however hasn't physically been signed off yet.

The absolute chaos at the Brisbane Lions continues...

In the last two years they have lost:

Bradshaw

Henderson

Rischitelli

Brennan

Johnstone

Sherman (is leaving)

Clark (maybe)

Sh!t that's a win for the Lions. Brennan's played one good game his whole career and they get pick 5 out of it. Wow.

Whilst top 5 is better than top 10, they only move up 5 places for Brennan.

They essentially get nothing, other than a slightly better choice.

Of course, it could mean the difference between a Luke Hodge and a Dal Santo.

Both good players, but one is a cut above.

Lions not really getting much in this trade, for my money.

They're also getting Collingwood's compo pick for Fraser, which the Pies are using for Krakouer (as far as I'm aware)

So it's up to the AFL which pick they'll get on top of pick 5.

(It is Hutchy though, so this may turn out to be completely wrong.)

I suppose.

I'd take an upgrade like that though, especially in the top 10.

That's better. I was going to say a win for the Lions earlier, now it's more GC.

Deeluded would hate this deal from a Brisbane POV.

Well its now past 2pm and no word on Bruce as an uncontracted GC signing

Does this mean Bruce is re-signing with MFC?

No need to repeat, but thanks. I am not disputing the fact that Cam is overseas, just that his contract negotiations have been at a stalemate for some time and he has been overeas for at most a few days. There are clearly other issues involved.

I don't think there are any other issues.We have offered him a one year contract- he wants two- no other club seems to want him and if that is the case he accepts one or retires. To me it is as simple as that- and it doesn't matter if he is o/s or not..

He never was- had NO intention in leaving..none at all.

Yeah, can't see the problem. A mobile phone call makes no difference where he is

That's a three word analysis I think even Joeboy would find hard to swallow.

You would have to be joking--he is a current MFC player,a vice captain whom is currently contracted till end of October and you treat a current player whom has played 224 gameswith a track record of AFL Awards: International Rules Series 2002, 2004

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
