2016 Silly Season, Trades and Rumours and utter BS

[Booney]

Who in their right mind of those contracted to Adelaide would leave for Carlton though?

Even if you are yet to debut for Adelaide, surely backing yourself in here is better than going to Carlton who, despite in roads, are a long, long way off doing anything meaningful.

I heard a stat on the radio not too long ago, I forget the exact detail, but the gist was that no club that's finished bottom in the past ten or twenty years or so has won the flag since. I think Brisbane was an exception, but they got preferential draft treatment etc.
That would mean, statistically, that no one at Carlton now will still be there when we win our next flag.

Hopefully not Trigg

BRISBANE Lions small forward Josh Green has been delisted.

Green, 24, played 81 games after being drafted at No. 32 in 2010.

He was the club's leading goalkicker in 2014 and 2015.

Check out all the retirements and delistings

He had signaled at the start of the year that he wanted to extend his contract at the Lions, and had hoped it would happen before the season began.

It was speculated in early September that the Lions would be open to trading Green and he has been linked with the Bombers.

"It is disappointing when any player departs, and Josh has given great service to our club," football manager David Noble told lions.com.au.

"We thank him for his time at the club and wish him all the best for his future."

A broken foot in January disrupted Green's pre-season. He joins Hugh Beasley, Billy Evans, Josh McGuinness, Jackson Paine and Josh Watts in being delisted, while Justin Clarke, Daniel Merrett and Trent West have retired and Pearce Hanley was traded to the Suns.

Something smells here, thought this guy was one of their positives in last couple of years...off field issues?

Think he was asking a price too high for what he is worth. Reckon we will pick him up.

Theage.com.au reported that he was after 500k a year. Bris did the right thing.

[Dutchy]

Sounds like it, must be disappointing for Brisbane as this is exactly the right age/experienced player they need to assist them right now.

Or did he deliberately price himself like this to get out of there and then accept $400k elsewhere?

[Brodlach]

Watch a lot of Brisbane, he is no good. Goes missing constantly and is soft IMO

Reckon this is the case. Has met twice with us and not asking anywhere near that much.

[MatteeG]

Brad McKenzie delisted at North Melbourne. Reckon he is a bit stiff- his kicking is extremely good from what I have seen.

I dont see a lot of the roos though- Spargo or Dutchy? Worth picking up?

[marbles]

So many players getting booted this year 12 to 13 players at some clubs

Hawthorn though are yet to delist a single player.

They're going with the North Melbourne model.

Gotta be done by the 31st. Reckon Spanger, Willsmore, Webster and Miller-Lewis would be looking over their shoulders.

Im staggered by this, he has almost elite legs skills, played 14 games this year, although fell out of favour at years end. Really thought he was the type that will push up next year with more opportunity. Maybe squeezed out as our defence is looking OK.

He was one of our best during the Crows game here mid season.

Reckon he will get picked up pretty quickly.

[therisingblues]

I wonder how many of these delistings will end up at SANFL clubs?

Staggered by your list management? #HYBPA

Paul Stewart will be on the market for a SANFL club.

[therisingblues]

Paul Stewart was originally from WWT right?
How'd he go when he played SANFL this year? Much affect?

Yes, an Eagle.

He certainly had his best year injury wise, played 14 AFL games and had an impact in several games at SANFL level. Put it this way, he made himself the "next in" at SANFL level > the AFL side with his performances.
