Brisbane was busy preparing deals with four players at the Gabba for medical assessments.

Carlton’s Tom Bell, North Melbourne’s Ryan Bastinac, Richmond’s David Astbury and Geelong’s Josh Walker all visited the Lions on Friday.

Gunna get bagged for saying it. I have always thought of Bastinac as a real talent.I would rather we went after him than Yarran.

Is that it i expected more.

In reply to other posts, I still think it imperative if we trade Astbury we bring a bloody decent kpd into the club. Surely people realise we cant go into a season with just two ESTABLISHED KPDs Rance, Chaplin.
I would be happy to see us trade him but in doing so we would need to address the even greater need in the area that trading him will create.

All this talk about Yarran and not one person asking do we have the answer at our club already.  FFS they are talking about him coming off hb yet i can envision two kids we have who would be ideal in the role of running half backs.
In fact h/b is one area i would have thought we have numerous options yet we go after Yarran. Deledio, B Ellis, Menadue, McIntosh, plus  Houli Vlastuin who already plays there.

Defender David Astbury is expected to join the Brisbane Lions in a deal that is likely to include Brisbane’s pick 21. That pick will be on-traded to Carlton to finalise the Chris Yarran deal.

B Ellis off HB...  :bow come on mate, he is softer than Houli and that's saying something. You do realise as a defender you need to DEFEND first and foremost, and then try and create. And Menadue isn't even close to being ready to play off HB.
Yarran will play forward imo. And that's a need we have had for a long time.
Going into a season without Astbury will just mean one less player in the rehab group. ive said it before, let's get our 22 right first before we  trying to get depth into our reserves side.

Claws' assessments of players are odd sometimes.

Yarran = too soft.

Bastinac = real talent.

Different marking criteria for different players it seems.

Bastinac is just as soft as Yaz and far less talented. At least Yaz can really hurt teams when he's on. Bastinac's best is just OK.
