Raines has asked to be traded

[Hellenic Tiger]

We actually don't know what Brisbane's 3rd pick will be just yet given they aren't out of the finals yet

Exactly I think they will win tomorrow night and we would be looking at pick 46 now.

Maybe if they do we can up the ante for pick 30.

There's also the possibility that Brisbane made trade a player for another 3rd rounder themselves (earlier than #44) and then we grab that in exchange for Rainesy.

Maybe you could bundle up the 44 with a player say a schulz for ports pick 8.

LOL. Chuck in Jordie, Thomson, Hislop and King as well and it would still be the deal of the century for us .

Fine by me

With Brisbane losing tonight that will mean their pick 44 for Raines unless the media reports are wrong.

[TFL]

Its probably been mentioned but he has been offered a 3 year deal.

Raines could get a game for the Lions ahead of Hooper, Redden, Austin, Sheldon, Polkinghorne, Hawksley, Patfull

bit like Sherman

Funny you mention Hooper, could be a straight swap for Raines. No picks needed. What would we all think of that?

Not in a pink fit.  The guy has a heap of off-field issues and we are not the club for him.

Raines + our 2nd rounder for Adcock

[one-eyed]

Here's the reason why the Lions want Raines...

Brisbane are expected to cut a deal with Richmond's Andrew Raines.

Raines, the son of former Bear Geoff Raines, has had two tough seasons because of injury.

But the Lions remember the dash from defence he provides when at his best and another creative small defender would greatly improve their back six.

NO!!!!

[crannyvegas]

awww i like adcock!!
but he is just a tad injury prone, and vital to the lions structure.
i think i was talking myself out of that idea...

[Infamy]

Trading away our 2nd round pick for a 24 year old is not an option
Stupid, stupid, stupid idea
