its nice that we get pick 14 but another young player would be nice as a sweetner.. ryan cook danny stanley

If Wood is worth pick 14 + Shaw, maybe, just maybe, we can squeeze an extra something out of Brisbane.

Still, pick 14 is a VERY good result. It gives us 2 first round picks which is ideal.

Isn't Jared Brennan up for grabs?

Where does the article say anything about Travis? And the title is 'Shaw might head to Brisbane'.

[DemonTux 97]

A reporter from the age (forgotten his name) did mention this on SEN this morning while listening on my way to work... obviously the deal is not done and there are other picks involved but it's apparently out there.

It's as good as done. Trapper has agreed to go to Brisbane, we've agreed to pay a % of the last year of his contract, Brisbane are happy to send Wood to the Pies and he's happy to go there. Shaw has apparently agreed to go to Brisbane after Lonie turned them down (oh well nice career you had for a while) and all they are haggling about is who gets to keep the change after they pay the cabbie. Final upshot for us is that we get pick 14 for Travis.

Ah. Thanks

[grazman 7,407]

Just 14. Brisbane get Shaw.

[Brocky For President 0]

would it be possible for us to get a player oput of it 2??

[Jarka 767]

I would have been happier with a top 10 pick for TJ but 14 is still ok, let's just hope we don't waste it. If we could somehow get another 1st rounder I'd be stoked.

Great deal for us.

[Demons 32 235]

I think we should really shake about this trade.

Said in the Herald Sun today that 14 is likely although Melbourne may want pick 8.

I say we charge for pick 8, try really hard to do and if Brisbane doesn't bite, still take 14 but it is worth having a red hot go at pick 8.

[Jonesy is the next captain 0]

With TJ and Brown, Brisbane are laughing next year. Hope everyone enjoys seeing TJ rip it up for Brisbane next year. Its all good and well saying lets have a young team, but wheres the experience, wheres the maturity? And dont say Brock cos the amount of trouble he got into in Europe is an embarassment, clearly he is not mature.

[beelzebub 23,313]

the Lions are still going to want to go into the draft with some chance of getting a decent pick. Doubt they will hand over 8. Never hurts to ask though !! lol

Haha alright you smug git. I did say I'd eat humble pie if you were right didn't I. Well here I go. It tastes awful. My apologies for doubting you.

I guess I'm happy with that deal. Ideally would have liked a slightly earlier pick but I can very much live with pick 14.

Yeah, I have no idea what we're doing, trading away the most mature player at Melbourne, Travis Johnstone.

[demon_fanatic 4]

can somoene clear it up is it us getting Shaw or Lions... i dont mind i think the knee injuries put him behind afl standard.... but can someone confirm ???

get on brisbane to make the 8 next year... we saw how good they could be late this year the poor 2 month losing patch really cost them... you will get about $2.00.... whack at least 100 on here... easy money...... black feeding off those sublime handballs to TJ on the wide open gabba surrounds..... who then spears Bradshaw or Brown.... i can see it

possible top 4 team next year look out for the lions

[jiska78 3]

You have got to be kidding. Johnston isn't consistent, sure, but he's worth more than pick 14 ?? Remember that he was a #1 draft pick and has exceptional skills.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Lions getting Shaw

[Scoop Junior 3,435]

I wouldn't say it's a "great" deal. A fair deal, perhaps, and a possible win-win.

But ultimately it comes down to who we have our eye on at pick 14 and who we actually get. If you grab a Daniel Bell (like the Woey trade) then it will be a big win, but there is the fear of picking up a Nick Smith.

It's a risky decision but has more potential upside. I'm happy to be aggressive and take that risk.

[beelzebub 23,313]

Tis only me.... but reading between the lines Bails wanted rid of Trapper and is happy to get the best deal going, and thats about the long and the short of it !!
