Players to target at the end of the year

Would we have another dig at Tom Rockliff?

No. Would be the hypocrite of the century if he left the Lions now. No chance of him leaving.

He enteretained the idea enough to meet with Roosy less than 12 months ago so clearly he isn't totally against it

and we learned from landing roosy in the first place that just because it isn't likely doesn't make it impossible, always worth a phone call

That was last year. He has since had a crack at all the people that left and said he is Brisbane to the core. I know Roos makes things better in the trade period but Rockliff isn't coming now and the Lions won't trade him.

again, we said that about Roos, and we landed him, i seriously doubt they will hesitate to make a phone call again

what's Scott Selwoods contract status?

I could honestly have said that he has a 20 year contract there and has said every day for 3 years he will never leave and you would still have this belief that, because he considered us last year, that he will do so again.

I'd love Rockliff at Melbourne, who wouldn't, but he re-committed to the Lions, signed a new deal and told everyone how behind the club he is. We might call, and we will rightly be told to nick off. No chance.

How did we get Vince and Tyson. Use the same formula ...

1. use our 2nd round choice for a ready made player such as mfc pick 24 for Andy Otten & crows pick 49ish

2. grab a young player that has not quite been given the opportunity, such as Jono O'Rourke

There is a reason the AFL give clubs draft penalties and a reason why those clubs are trying to trade back into the draft. It is important we always bring in new talent (or we pay a huge penalty in a couple of years) and we have traded to many of these picks over the last few years. Clark, Dawes, Vince. The Tyson trade was good as we got one new and one demonstrator model, Clark was a bust, Dawes is a battler on field and Vince was a good trade up for Silvia.

If we can get Petracca or McCartin then we should take them. Players like O'Rourke are not worth an early pick.

IIRC Scott Selwood's OOC at the end of next season. Part of next years bumper free agent crop.

the lions have they're paws on the ground again, a different club now, on & of field.

Watching the game tonight, love Rory Sloanes effort and skills. Wish we could get him.

Brodie Smith really caught my eye, sets up alot of plays

Can't see him moving but

We tried to give away pick 2 for him last year, but they didn't let him go.

Hard to fathom how the Crowes lost that game. They have a great midfield plus Brodie Smith and good forwards.

[Pennant St Dee 13,235]

Watching tonights game I hear about throwing money at Dangerfield yes great player but throw a big contract and a fair amount of cash at Crouch, 2nd week back from injury 2nd year player he is all class fantastic accumulator with clean hands, awareness in traffic and going to be a clearance king

he's picked up his standard again. he dropped off last season a bit. he was very good tonight.

No way they'd let Crouch part, they didn't get his brother for nothing. They're both to set up their future. Dangerfield, I'd throw everything and more for him.

I would give up our first pick for him in a straight swap and that still wouldn't get the job done. They are both good but I see potentially a better addition in Crouch

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

Toumpas for Andrew Moore, straight swap?

[KingDingAling 3,758]

Toumpas for Andrew Moore, straight swap?

I wouldn't write Toumpas off just yet.

We'd still want something of quality of we were to give Jimmy away this early.

[Demon Disciple 12,178]

Toumpas for Andrew Moore, straight swap?

Not the worst suggestion in the world. I'd entertain it.

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

I was at the interstate event today.

Word from one SA rep was that Toumpas is homesick and wants back to an Adelaide club, and Ben Kennedy wants out of Collingwood too.

[Ted Lasso 19,521]

Toumpas for ports first rounder?

He has started slow but is talanted and contracted

[Demon Disciple 12,178]

Yeah, maybe. Wouldn't mind going after Andrew Moore.

Read his bio on port's webpage. Tall, well built, pace and decent disposal. He's ready to go, just what our midfield needs.

[whatwhat say what 22,783]

Would do the deal - straight swap, Toumpas for Moore.
