No new news but Greg Denham on KB's show this morning reiterated that the Raines trade is still on for Brisbane's 3rd round pick.

Raines, interest in Fev, Brisbane are topping up. They are in an awkward situation. They overachieved this year but their development is great being back in the finals. Some of their young fellas are coming through nicely, but Brown's 28, Power must be about that age, Black is 30ish, Bradshaw looks on the way out... They want to see how far they can ride the wave they are on and make a real challenge before those guys retire but I think its going to be really tough for them and could hurt them in the long run.

yeah agree, Brisbane need to go back to the draft well and go deep otherwise they may end up like Essendon list.

Perhaps they are feeling GC17 heat ?

Brisbane will be one of the most active clubs in the trade period.

A deal to secure Andrew Raines from Richmond is all but done.

So going into trade week with the Raines deal we have picks

3 19 35 44 51 67 83

Some more picks in the first three rounds would be fantastic.
Make it happen CC.

[Ramps]

I agree, the more picks we get the better. The priority pick we missed out on is much needed now. Sadly winning culture has probably cost us Aaron Black or Ben Griffiths.

Deal done

Voss said for pick 45 (sic) - their 3rd round pick. He must have meant pick 44.

[Mr Magic]

Happy with part 1 , now the recruiting of his replacement comes into play.

Voss said Raines was unlucky and they got him to find his 2006 form.

Tiger Raines heads to Lions for third-round pick
2:44 PM Mon 05 October, 2009

BRISBANE Lions coach Michael Voss has confirmed that his club has struck a deal with Richmond for defender Andrew Raines.

The Lions have parted with their third-round selection (No.44) in a straight swap for Raines, who has played 56 games since his 2004 debut.

Raines, 23, was limited to just three games in 2009 by knee injuries. He failed to break back into the Tigers ' senior side after round nine.

More to follow.

One down. Hopefully not the only trade done  .

[TFL]

Good stuff, his attitude was terrible and the club will be better without him.

Raines is the type who would have been back stabbing every second person at the club, so far up himself it isnt funny.

[Hellenic Tiger]

The only thing I wish for is that our pick 44 turns out to be a more than serviceable player for us in a flag circa 2014.

As for Rainsey I hope he wins Labrador Bachelor of the Year in Queensland and the Mayne Tigers B&F.

[WilliamPowell]

Bye bye Andrew is all I will say

Was that a Freudian slip picking both those 'Tiger' clubs Tucker or do you know your QAFL?
