Straight swap. Nic Nat for Witho.

Fantasy stuff.

We'd need to at least throw in Cedric Cox, and swap our third rounder for their fourth rounder.

Also from the AFL.com.au liveblog summary of Connors:
  • Both Brisbane and Alex Witherden were open to looking at their options.
  • Ryan Lester was pushing for a two-year contract extension with Brisbane

Wouldn't be giving Lester a 2 year extension. I reckon he needs that edge of working for his career to play at his best, a little like Robbo.

Paul Connors is pushing for it...normally when he goes public it's already or is going to happen

That's not Lester at all. He absolutely deserves two years and should get it.

Apart from anything else, he is very popular with the playing group and doing the right thing by him (i.e. 2 years) would be a good move generally.

I think from what Paul Connors was saying, we can assume that Lester will be on the list next year.
They are just pushing for 2 years, the club may only want to sign him for 1.
 
Ryan Lester definitely deserves a 2 year deal, played his best season of footy in his career this year and only recently turned 28 years of age.

He's not the type to sulk if he gets passed by one of our young guys either, would be a fantastic leader/teacher in the new reserves competition.
 
I'm reluctant to give Lester a two year deal because there's a moderate chance he drops out of the best 22 by the end of next year. There's a reason he's gone on repeated one year contracts and because he had his best year this year doesn't mean he's going to have that best year every year here on out.

We also don't know what the AFL is going to do about list sizes next year. I suspect the cut this year will be less than they would've liked.

He had a great year and every chance he could do it again. Even if not he is a very solid best 25 player who can be relied on to come in and do a job. For a team in the window those types of players are valuable. I give him the two years.

depends on list sizes now unfortunately. Look at Stef :(
I think Lester took his chance this year and I give him 2.
Although if AFL cutting again next year we cannot have everyone signed.

A year in defence done him a world of good know each week he be playing the same role.

I have Lester, Adams and Payne going for the one spot and backup to Dizzy/Andrews.
So if no one injured like Adams again
there be 2 playing in the VFL East coast cooler or whatever they call it
Lester can also fill in anywhere he is needed.

I say some of these choices like Witho comes down to we signed everyone then COVID taking spots away.
 
Witho is a circumstance of a top 4 team, trying to improve. Hard, but that is footy. You can bet he has had a couple of adult conversations with Fages & co, and the end result will be fair to all - just maybe not everyone's preferred outcome.

Whilst Treloar is a long ,long shot I would love Fages to have a good yarn to him. Come to the best chance you have of winning a flag, live with your family, and out of the fishbowl. Come to where you will be happy. But you are not worth the money you are on - compared to the rest of our list. The door is open, but you have to make a sacrifice.
 
I think you give him 2 years if you think he has 2 in him, not specifically as best 22, and subject to list size.
