Red Demon

Quite convenient you left out Martin Pike..

Stop being so precious. Does anyone actually disagree with what he said?

Yeah they must be gutted they picked up the competition's best performed ruckman over the second half of the year.

Honestly?I think the team on paper is weaker now than it was 12 months ago. Didn't think that was possible.

One of the most talented lists in the comp? lol wat?

Yes of course it is. You realise his dad has cancer. You realise all his doctors, his mates, his support staff are up north? Are you going to help him find a new house, a new doctor, a new support base, new mates etc just to improve the team? Some people really don't think. It's not just about football you know.

The whole reason they declined (stupidly) is they want a high pick AND a ready-made player in the Aish/Hanley/Redden/Mayes mould. Good on Brisbane sticking to their guns.

Oh God I wish people would get over themselves. Players move! It's been happening since the competition started and it will continue until it ends. Aren't we talking about getting Dangerfield, Malceski, Merrett, Lumumba etc etc??

Yeah as much as some fans hope that players who leave the club become some kind of social pariah, the fact is the generally remain mates with the guys they played with.

Which makes proposed trades for blokes like Merrett all the more ridiculous.

You aren't talking about the Tyson / Salem deal are you? Why do people keep thinking that this was a 2 for 1 deal? We gave up pick 20 as well which would have netted us a very good player like Lewis Taylor.

No chance in hell Brisbane would accept a dud like Blease or Tapscott for him. He is contracted for another two years. The only way the Lions would let him go is if they got a deal too good to be true.

Exactly. Pretty sure he was the quickest at the Lions over 20m for 5-6 years.

Why would they be so idiotic to delist a player so he could walk out for free rather than get something for him?Spite has nothing to do with it.

Yeah I'd love to see this trade that has us picking up Cameron and still be able to get Petracca. Just about the most valuable player in the game. AA and Coleman runner up at 20. Absolute gun.
