Brisbane Lion a man in demand
Stephen Rielly and Jake Niall | October 13, 2007
AN UNUSUALLY fruitful trade period in which 20 players changed clubs, against only nine last year, ended yesterday but not for Brisbane Lions' Jared Brennan, who immediately became the most sought-after pre-season draft target.
While Essendon has made the running, Richmond, Melbourne, and the Western Bulldogs — all indicated last night their interest in pursuing him.
Sensing the chase to come, the Lions put a revised three-year offer to Brennan after the 2pm close of trading yesterday but not before the Dons reiterated their intent to lure him south with a three-year contract understood to be worth more than $900,000.
Melbourne and Richmond also either contacted Brennan's agent, Peter Whitehead, or said they intended to.
Richmond, holder of first choice in the pre-season draft, indicated that Brennan and Collingwood ruckman Guy Richards were on its radar.
Miller said the Tigers had sufficient room to recruit Chris Judd and therefore would not have any troubling in signing Brennan. He called Brennan and Richards "a good starting position" for pick one in the pre-season draft.Full article at:
