For any trade to eventuate, it must be agreed to by both clubs and the player.

Re: Justin Sherman
2009 he was hitting targets by foot, but then his role changed.
another player poorly coached in my opinion.
i thought he was quite skilled at a run and carry, but then he would give a hospital handball.

Re: Justin Sherman
Sherman hitting targets by foot? I think you have your rose coloured glasses. Last year was the same as this except he got more of the ball and carried it better.

I get the feeling that some agents indulge in the financial equivalent of 'churning' just to generate extra commission, with little regard for their clients.

I'm guessing the thinking here is that he might be Harbrow's replacement. Completely different player though.

Re: Justin Sherman
Turnover champ. It is amazing how players get fantasized during the trade period.
He clearly needs a new home.

2009 Review
2010 End of Season Review
Games - 17
Best and Fairest - 15 votes (19th)

Supercoach - 1049 points; $255,000 (-$228,300)
Down and Out
After a rejuvenated 2009, expectations on Justin Sherman were high. In his 6th season, and having played 98 games it was hoped that his career would be reaching its peak, and that he now had the maturity to be relied on for consistent performances. Things started well enough. He was one of the better performers during the preseason games and this form continued into the season proper. In round 3 he played game 100, and in what turned out to be his best game for the year, gathered 20 possessions and kicked 4 goals.
In round 4 Sherman sustained a corked thigh which caused him to miss rounds 5 and 6. This coincided with the previously undefeated Lions looking flat, and it was thought Sherman’s energy and explosiveness were sorely missed. But when he returned he wasn’t really able to provide that spark that he is capable of. As one of the senior 2nd tier players there were expectations that he would be one to step up in support of Black and Power in the midfield. But with a long succession of losses it may have become too much for him. He looked lethargic and was becoming content to let others win the ball for him. In the 2nd half of the season he was becoming a liability. The coaching staff gave him a long run to regain some form, but his confidence continued to decline. It was becoming hard to imagine him playing well and he was finally dropped towards the end of the season.
At season’s end, with the Brisbane Lions suffering from salary cap pressure, it looks like Sherman will be heading to another club. If he goes he could be a good pick up if used correctly, and a bad one if he isn’t. He is arguably the worst handballer in the league. He panics in congestion, treating the ball like a hot potato, and notoriously sells his team mates into trouble. He has good goal sense. There was a time when he was criticised for having blinkers on, but generally you want your goal kickers to back themselves. He is quick and can find space. He will provide plenty of run (he generally leads the club in bounces) and has performed at both ends of the ground. He is not one who relishes the physicality of the game, and does not use his big frame to advantage. The biggest issue though is his history of wild swings in form, due to a perceived mental fragility

Speaking from the NAB AFL Draft Combine, Fantasia said the Dogs hoped to be active when clubs started getting deals done next week.
They have been linked to a number of smaller, speedy types, including Brisbane Lion Justin Sherman.
"He's a good player and we've certainly spoken to him and his manager and we're going to speak to, Brisbane, but that's early days as well," Fantasia said.
"But we've made an indication that he's the type of player that we'd love to bring into our footy club."

Re: Justin Sherman
A comment like the above from Pickering, who others have noted has a healthy disregard for the Lions, is about what you'd expect.
I'll be interested to see how we play these proposed trades- ie, to see whether we've toughened up and become a bit more professional.
Put it this way, if Pickering thinks Sherman is worth Pick 29, then I'd suggest this is basically proof we should be asking for something way better.

Re: Justin Sherman
I agree. The bulldogs appear to be very active so they should find a way to get a higher pick to offer later in the week.

All talk, no action. That's how it's been on the opening day of negotiations in AFL Trade Week, but deals involving Freo's Chris Tarrant, Justin Sherman of the Brisbane Lions and Sydney's Patrick Veszpremi may be close to completion.After securing Mitch Wallis and Tom Liberatore as father-son selections earlier in the day, the Western Bulldogs were fairly confident of being able to bring both Sherman and Veszpremi to Whitten Oval next season.
The club's football operations manager, James Fantasia said he enjoyed "robust conversations" with the Lions on Sherman who wants out after 114 games in six seasons with the club. "We're confident that we can certainly work our way through and come up with a deal that will appease Brisbane for sure," Fantasia said.

The Dogs are the frontrunner to recruit Justin Sherman from the Brisbane Lions, in exchange for the compensation pick they received for Jarrod Harbrow's move to the Gold Coast. Advertisement: Story continues below
While Sydney is also interested in the speedy Lion - and are prepared to offer pick 21 and a four-year contract worth up to $400,000 a year - Sherman is determined to get to Whitten Oval, even though the Bulldogs have offered him one less year.
Sherman has two years to run on his contract, but while the Lions are keen to keep him, the club's need to relieve its salary cap leaves the Bulldogs in a strong position to secure him.

Re: Justin Sherman
I would have thought that not only Sydney's offer but the Tambling deal to the Crows will force the market price up a bit on Sherman.
Plenty of time left in trade week not predicting anything will happen on this until at least Friday.

The Bulldogs retain an interest in Walker, but only in the event they cannot secure Brisbane Lions player Justin Sherman in a trade. The Lions at this stage are prepared to trade Sherman only to Sydney, which has offered pick 21 in a trade and a four-year deal with about $400,000 a year to the player. Those terms exceed the Bulldogs' conditions financially and are an improvement on the Jarrod Harbrow compensation pick the Bulldogs were prepared to trade with.
