Rocky is back at Vulture Street at least for the next twelve months but in 12 months' time he will be on the list of 2017 Brisbane Lions free agents:

"Brisbane
Claye Beams
Ryan Harwood
Tom Rockliff"

I wouldn't go for him next year as we'll be laden with all of his wage. This year we might have landed a bargin with the Lions paying a good portion of his contract. That won't happen next year. 

I just hope we got in Josh Kelly and Andrew Gaff's ears this off season and offered them between $450-500k. They are the cream that will make us all that more dangerous.

I'm not sure that we have a great willingness to devote a bunch of salary cap space to a single player. Those 2 will likely cost more than that. Especially Kelly. 

I wonder if we are just sitting tight and waiting for our young players to mature rather than make these huge plays. 

We don't want to lose a Petracca Hunt Oliver or Hogan or two in a couple if years because we sold the farm to get superstar A. 

Our lack of involvement in these super trades is deliberate now.

I agree, but 450k is also a drop in the ocean if we can convince one of them.

We were never interested. Full stop.

do not agree.

 

Well a current listed player had heard otherwise 

I believe you.

 

Tom Rockliff is a free agent as of the end of next year (2017)........... perhaps a realisation we didn't have the currency this year may not preclude an interest that we could look to fulfill next year.

Thats right, & the AFL & Fagan may want to see his boys in action, before he makes a decision on Rocky, just as Roosy was cautious about delisting all he thought of in his first pre-season with us.

 

Mahoney on Trade Radio: "We never spoke to Rockliff".

The end.

 

Doing the clubs bidding for it stu,  R U on the clubs footy deept salary cap then?

De Beginning!

Maybe we Mfc only spoke  to rocky's management & not to rocky directly?  Or maybe we lied?  Maybe we blur the edges of words & truths.

Maybe we didn't want to pay the Lions price?

I think it's time to give Rocky a rest for the next 10 months.
