Raines has asked to be traded

[Judge Roughneck]

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

our midfeild would be perhaps:

Deledio, Cotchin, Tambling, Foley, Trengrove, Adcock, Collins

not sure if that is a stupid stupid stupid idea as such. More so if you trade Tuck for a decent pick

[mightytiges]

Our trading should be about the future not 2010. A 24 year old Adcock will be 27 or 28 by the time our list is capable of making the finals. Brisbane won't trade Adcock in any case and us giving up a player and pick for a player (a 2 for 1) would restrict our ability to cull hard.

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.

Can we bump the trade up to their 2nd round pick then if they think that  .

[big tone]

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?

we were interested in him few seasons back, yeah, nahhh...couldnt fit him and nahas in same time, with gilligan coming on, we'd be better keeping the pick

Let me tell ya, we are interested in Hooper NOW. He may just be to expensive though after we put his value up a couple of seasons back.

[Hellenic Tiger]

Hasn't Hooper had issues before regarding coming back to Brissy late from pre season?
If so no way, don't need players like that trying to fit into the new culture.

Just use the picks in the draft.

Definitely stupid stupid stupid
We gave away a 2nd rounder for a 24 year old a couple of years ago and look where that got us
We need to keep all the picks we can get and fix our structural issues, not trade for more smalls

No smiley so I'll assume you are serious MT.  No,not even close.  That river runs much deeper.

Is Adcock not a better player than McMahon ?

Hence your argument is wrong ?

anyone is better than Mclovin even Shane Morrison was better, but the point is maybe we should try recruit via the draft and spend money developing our own like most teams do

Jed Adcock is a gun though

How good he is is irrelevant, we can't trade away 2nd round draft picks in a rebuild
Saying my argument is wrong when you are pushing for something like that is a joke

[one-eyed]

Maybe I'm reading too much between the lines in this but the Australian says a 3rd round pick for Rainesy rather than Brisbane's 3rd round pick. If Brisbane were to trade a player away for another (perhaps earlier?) 3rd round pick, are they suggesting we would get that one instead?



Brisbane will be active during next month's trade week, but it is not expected to trade away its first- or second-round national draft selections.

The Lions have verbally agreed with Richmond to trade in out-of-contract Tigers defender Andrew Raines. In return, Richmond will receive a third-round pick from Brisbane.

Would you trade

Raines + our 2nd rounder for Matthew Leuenberger ?
