We need to seriously have a look and try to pry Zac Bailey out of Brisbane! With Levi Ashcroft coming in next year and with their stacked midfield I reckon he’d be looking at more midfield time and we are certainly one side that can offer it to him. A goal kicker midfielder that is playing out of position at the Lions, looks very gettable.

I’d be jumping on the phone to him (if they haven’t already) in the next couple of days and offer him whatever he wants.

Would you give us your first for him?

 

[FR0GGY]

Would you give us your first for him?

Reckon I would F1

 

[Mutineer]

Pick 4 LOL LOL

 

[WeeBlake]

Reckon I would

Nope

 

[Mutineer]

Nope

They'd do it too then load up with another GWV Rebel gun in Sam Lalor.

 

[FR0GGY]

Nope

Was thinking F1 not pick 4

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Was thinking F1 not pick 4

We need picks this year for levi ashcroft not future picks.

 

[Danger in Texas]

We need picks this year for levi ashcroft not future picks.

Why would you use pick 4 to help match Ashcroft bid?

 

[FR0GGY]

We need picks this year for levi ashcroft not future picks.

Zero interest then

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Why would you use pick 4 to help match Ashcroft bid?

We'll ontrade that for 2 late 1st.

 

[Danger in Texas]

We'll ontrade that for 2 late 1st.

Fair enough. Either way, you guys trading Bailey is pie in the sky stuff

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

Fair enough. Either way, you guys trading Bailey is pie in the sky stuff

Not up to us it's really up to the player if he requests a trade then the club has no choice. I'd say we'd probably want something similar to what we paid for Charlie Cameron.

pass

 

[WeeBlake]

I dunno. I think it would be a good move for them if they could get a first rounder for him. He’s not getting midfield time at Brisbane anytime soon, and he’s a good but not great forward.

I meant more along the lines of, Bailey isn’t going to request a trade

We're not Manchester City we can't keep all of our players when we're already so close to the cap.

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

I think if you offered him $650k he probably would. He's like charlie cameron he needs to be the main guy to truly go to the next level.

 

[LoBu]

That reputation is why we hired him in the first place.

It’s a shame he can’t develop a decent game plan.

It's hard to see what his game plan is, i agree.

One thing that is apparent to me though is that our so called DNA is shiftng from hard at it, aggressive football, to a more highly skilled, high end talent one.

This is a much Nicks turning over his squad as anything, but if this is true it will allow a better game plan to evolve, perhaps more aggressive corridor footy?

At least try to conceal your trolling a touch

 

[hippyhippy]

Pick 4 for Zac Bailey?

At least try to conceal your trolling a touch

You'd do 4 for mcclugage....not Bailey...

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

I didn't know where you finished in the ladder I thought you finished around 10th.

 

[spenze]

Even if he said 4 for Bailey, current 1st and F 1st , I mean I'd say no but at least there would be some effort made but 4 for a HFF...FMD

 

[Morbidly_Obese]

You'd do 4 for mcclugage....not Bailey...

So we used pick 3 for mcluggage, he becomes a superstar and we'd only get pick 4 for him now?

 

[rabidcrow]

Doesn't he just replace Marshall, but on big money?

Well that’s fine though. They need to cover Marshall and Luko has already shown he can do that - and has been a match winner on occasion. Who else can do it for them? At a proven level?

Well you’ve used half his career.
