Do mot think we will get much for Moloney as he will be 31 in January. Maybe GWS but can not see any one wanting him.

Think we should use our draft picks well especially first pick would be happy with McCartin, Durdin, Petracca or Wright to develop for life after Brown.

Nige · July 25, 2014, 09:07:44 AM

Having Moloney play in the NEAFL the whole season doesn't exactly help his value as trade bait.

Mailman the 2nd · July 25, 2014, 12:43:14 PM

Yeah typically players traded to a third club don't carry much currency

GoLions · July 31, 2014, 07:21:01 PM

Paparone re-signed until end of 2016 :)

what are your thoughts on the game this weekend Ringo? i cant believe Melbourne are favorites

Ringo · August 01, 2014, 10:53:25 AM

Will be a low scoring game as both teams have a mind set to restrict scoring. Not a betting man myself but would consider this to be an even bet. In the local press 3 Tipsters favour Brisbane and 2 favour Melbourne. Melbourne have not won at Etihad for ages and Brisbane do not have a good record there either.
Suspect Nathan Jones will run with Rockliff and this may be the deciding factor. Together with whether Hanleys influence can be curbed.

yeah well sportsbet have a promo if your team loses by less then 20 they refund head to head bets so i put some $ on Brissy don't see them losing by more then 20 if they do lose

Hope we can tie up Aish soon although I suspect he may wait till next year before negotiating contracts. Hands off Port and Crows.

Aish's manager just making the lions sweat. More money to be thrown at him

strikes91 · August 03, 2014, 02:03:51 AM

Bad injury for ex player cornelious.

Broken Femur

Interesting sta.

Since the Rd10 bye, we are 5 wins 4 losses with a % of 90

Oh if we had started better. Lets see if we can get wins over Crows, Pies, Dockers and Cats and finish the season. See if we can really shape the final 8 and positions within the 8.

BB67th · August 04, 2014, 04:48:05 PM

I didn't get to see the game, but it looked like McStay played pretty well. Did anyone get to see how he played, and have we possibly found another forward in him?

Ringo · August 04, 2014, 04:59:45 PM

I did not see it either BB but have watched the replay and he looked good up forward.

Started in defence but was thrown forward early and really grasped the opportunity in addition to 6 marks and 3 goals he also had 14 disposals. Close and McStay looked good as a team up front and could be the future pairing.

When Berger comes back I hope we play the 2 rucks with Berger playing mainly forward as he has strong hands as well and one of the better kicks in the club. This would allow Sauce to return to defence where he is best suited imo. His kicking for goal leaves a lot to be desired
