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

like i said theoretically possible, but why when they can do it for free

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

They already have him.

they gave the lions pick 5 for Brennan

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

[censored] him off

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

[censored] him off

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

Agent orange you are the joke- you should have your mouth washed out with agent orange for saying [censored] HIM OFF- we should not tolerate posters lke you inasulting players like this.

Completely Agree JCB and your defence of Bruce and his Club record is more than apt. Poster has been given a warning.
