Brisbane Lions to consider asking AFL for priority draft pick to rebuild their threadbare list

Pluck me

only if you dont cry again

Get stuffed - sick of these expansion teams - stuff em
-
They've got their own zone to pick from. Stuff them.
-
3 premierships in 15 odd years and they want a priority pick hey? Must mean the majority of other teams are owed special picks too.

But the game needs to grow in Queensland

Dont think the Lions can be called an expansion side
Actually feel for them
Voss left them in a bad way, look at the kids they lost under his tenure
Now you have a top kid in Aish most likely going to leave ....
The system is stuffed when a kid 2 years in the system can dictate to a club that he wants out....
-
the system is not stuffed
people dont want to live in brisbane
how do you fix that?

Really, then please explain why 3 seasoned players happily went to the lions this season?
The system is stuffed when kids in the system for 2 years or even a year can dictate that they want out and then demand they get traded to the club of their choice
Free agency was bought to cover that, but the system allows players too much control
Kids just on the system haven't earned the right to dictate anything
-
all the more reason to allow players, up to a certain point, to be traded without their consent.
-
Beams wanted to play with his bro. His dad was sick
Christianson?
Who is the third?
You cannot force people to live in a city if they don't want to. For more than a couple years
(Edited: you know the rules about posting unsubstantiated rumours :banghead I understand you don't like them, may not agree with them but I suggest you make an effort to follow ALL of them)

Exactly
-
They had the chance to trade ageing premiership players and didn't, they traded Henderson and 12 for Fev, they traded picks for Beams. This is their own doing, stuff off.
-
Can we have one too?

The Fev trade is perfectly example of the mess the Voss era created. A shocking trade
Voss made a meal of the Lions list and when their mandatory 2 years were up the kids wanted out
The Beams deal is a no brainer, right deal any club would have done it.
What I am talking about are the other kids.
Polec wanted out after 2 years but demanded a trade home to SA. Clubs like ours had no chance in getting this kid and that's wrong.
Yeo wanted out as well but it had to be home to WA, ago an other clubs had no chance and that's wrong
Can keep listing them
Now with Aish is mostly likely to walk but he will say which club he wants to go to and again clubs like ours have no chance and that's wrong.
That's what I mean when I say the system is stuffed. If these kids want to move they should have to go to the club that Gives the lions or any club for that matter the best deal.

Missed his mummy then made his girlfriend move over there from VIC too :shh

Whether the trade was good value or not, you can't go trading out these picks then 12 months later ask for the AFL to give you replacement picks.

That's what Hardwick said on SEN about a month ago. The players have it too good these days with FA and being able to veto any trades. Plenty of rumors that we had sold trade deals to other clubs in the last few years but our own players didn't want to leave so they don't go through. I hate the way the NBA system works now, where players literally don't have any say in where they go until they reach eligibility for FA but I have to say that the scales are firmly set in favour of players at the moment, albeit they don't have a say in where they start.

You can't stop someone from Perth or Adelaide, returning home after they are drafted to Brisbane, when contract expires
It doesn't mean the system is broken. It means Queensland is rubbish. How would you propose to stop people wanting to leave

strangely enough more victorians move to queensland than the other way around.
just a bunch of mummy's boys anyway. if players with less than 6 years service had no say in where they get traded they would have to harden up and deal with it.

65 year olds

Try and keep up

A team like Brisbane needs to do a "Port Adelaide" and just say to the player that it will not be trading him. They can go to the PSD and get picked up by the bottom side - them!!!
