The bloke was James McDonald
That's true- both Rista and Bradshaw were tangled for the Fevola trade apparently without their knowledge. It all blew up, Bradshaw went to Sydney and played about 6 games as the Lions knew, and so did he, that his back was stuffed. Rista stayed the next year and won the club best and fairest then did his exit stage left as our club champion. They were dark days of the Lions, desperate efforts to get some wins but destroyed any signs of loyalty, it was really the start of our revolving doors.
Least this had some discussion about our gameplan and what we might look like and what we've done rather than just complain about AFL owed club, waste of money ect.
They are both 1 year players like King at GC, 1st year players still in contract rarely move clubs. Can't see either of those 2 moving. The real query here is why Ah Chee hadn't signed a new contract. It has been mentioned on this board that he is on good terms with GC and Dewie. There is something more to this story. It is only natural for clubs to approach uncontracted players at a seasons end. I don't think Brisbane has done too much wrong here.
They can be traded if they agree
regarding what the reason might be , Maybe its the 4 year deal on good $$$ from brisbane as well as playing for a team thats in the finals now and he see's himself having a better career there or thats what he has been sold. Not that its right or wrong but it just might be where his mind is now
It is weak is what it is
I can say that hand on heart too because I’ve never been a sell out and if anything it’s been a fault but I wouldn’t change it

Mark Baguley might be lured out of retirement and you wouldn't have to give anything for him.
I'm not sure we've got any players you'd like or need; Laverde's just getting his body right, finally. He can played a mid/forward role. Zaharakis could bring your young guys some maturity. It feels like EFC has lut Laverde's name up, perhaps to work towards securing the compensation your club would want, or to help it.
What's Martin's tank like though? Will he still be working both ways and collecting possessions in the 4th?

You will finish top 4 if you get him
Pick 6-10 will get you a great fun 2020
Most on the EFC board put his body of work at a late first or second. It will be interesting to see what he chooses... apparently we haven't the cap space if he chooses Essendon. Maybe why Laverde's suddenly on the table and we've had a flurry of re-signings.
Is the feeling there that the club would prefer picks over players?

Our list manager is on record saying we need outside run both in the midfield and off half back.
I’d think players rather than picks too.
Would Zaharakis get it done?

Zach Merrett would
Marty Gleeson? 25yo and 78 games. Intercept marking defender with solid dukes. Breaks lines when he runs and super courageous.
Probably late pick there somewhere as well.
Merrett won't happen. Solid best 18, leadership group and one of those magnets that never gets taken off the board.
Jordan Ridley might be closer, again with a pick there somewhere.

Dyson Heppell then?
You know, if he weren't the captain I'd entertain it. He's been lame for about 6 weeks. Does Jack get in and under?
Looks like Martin won’t be coming to you then. There are 5 other clubs who are interested.

Depends on what mood Jack is in... he has shown glimpses of getting in and under.
I look at the bombers list and there isn’t anyone gettable in the right age bracket for us...
That's the quandary I see too. I think most Bomber fans would be stoked to have Martin, mostly because he would improve our i50s. Like any fan who can see the upside of a young list, though, most Bomber fans won't want to give any players up.
Hopefully Martin nominates EFC. At least we might have some impetus to break what's likely to be a deadlock - I get the frustration with the loss of players though. With any luck the deal is fair with whatever club he goes to.
