What are your thoughts on your situations Jim?whats the latest on tunstill? is he off to the west or will he stay? think he's a quality player would love to see him get regular first team footy
I really like Dev but the planets have just not aligned for him at the Lions. His wrist injury impacting the beginning of this season could not have come at a worse time for him.So I'm assuming Dev will go back to WA, Tunstill might as well.
This is a bit of a left field idea, and I don't expect most people to agree. If the following are all true:
Then, could we be better off sending Hipwood to defence full-time and signing a player who is a very accurate kick for goal? I'm aware Gardiner will return and be able to cover for Payne, but I don't know if he's a premiership quality KPD, especially coming back from an ACL. And we really, really need someone who won't miss easy goals from 20m out, directly in front. It's killing us.
- We can't count on Payne to stay fit
- Finding another good mature KPD is difficult
- Our biggest hindrance right now is poor goalkicking
As to who is a very accurate kick, there have already been whispers that we're into Darcy Fogarty (OOC 2025), who has kicked 41.16 this year. A cheaper option would be Tim Membrey (UFA 2024), who has kicked 28.9 this season. Or if we're willing to take a flier on someone in the VFL (should the list spots be available), Liam McMahon from Carlton's VFL team is 198cm, 22 years old and has kicked 43.13 this season (including 7.0 against Geelong last week).
For comparison, Joe has kicked 49.42, Charlie 34.25, Hipwood 29.19, Rayner 25.17 and Kai 24.23 so far this year.

This ... And we really, really need someone who won't miss easy goals from 20m out, directly in front. It's killing us.
The loss of McCarthy is is killing us. Always confident that he could nail the easy ones.

Forgot which thread I was on. Thought you were appreciating all the behind points helping us win games
It has to be Kane Cornes or Tom Morris surely.Petracca possibly to request a trade to Carlton, Collingwood or Brisbane someone 'close to him' reported on SEN this morning..
I would hate to see him at either Collingwood or Carlton. But I don't see how we could get him here.Petracca possibly to request a trade to Carlton, Collingwood or Brisbane someone 'close to him' reported on SEN this morning..
Always been keen on John Noble. Good get by the Suns

Where did you see that? All the rumours I’ve seen have been Pies or Blues.Petracca possibly to request a trade to Carlton, Collingwood or Brisbane someone 'close to him' reported on SEN this morning..
Noble’s twin brother lives up here apparently.Depends on if he gets there. If it doesn’t work out, wouldn’t mind him coming to us.
I’m a bit confused on the reason though, he’s from SA and is moving up here for family. Does Nobes and his family still live in QLD?
Will not happen if it’s us, even if it was legit, we simply do not have the capital. Only player he’d replace is Bailey or Rayner - neither of which I’ve give up for a guy who has 4 years max left in the game.
Heard it first on Breakfast with Gary & Tim this morning.Where did you see that? All the rumours I’ve seen have been Pies or Blues.
The thing is if he officially requested a trade there would be buy in from the club in agreement with his manager that they could get a trade done. I can’t see Pies or Lions committing to that with no assets to get a deal done. And I’d put the Blues in the same boat unless they were willing to trade out a McKay or Cerra for more collateral.
Good mates with Neale, eager for a fresh start, loves Noosa, wants to go to a contender and compete for flags. A few reasons that would sway him if he was open to leaving Vic.Petracca to Brisbane just doesn't fit lol. He's the most Victorian lad I've seen.
Rayner or Bailey probably would.I don't think there is but is there a player that others think if offered as part of a trade for Petracca who would spark a bit of discussion/interest from the Demons?
The unlikely to happen proviso is that the Lions player was open to the move, would never force anyone out.
Petracca to the Lions?

I know only turning 29 early next year but his age and his horrific injury would have me ultra cautious about us even being interested.Rayner or Bailey probably would.
Cam doesn’t strike me as a guy who will ever leave, although he’s a pre agent this year so I guess the club would have a better idea as to if he has any thoughts on returning home.
Bailey has been well down on form this year, but probably still spikes the interest of teams given his history and what he could become.
Wouldn’t be surprised if they asked about Motty and/or Logan either but again I think the club would be reluctant on either of those two unless they were unanimous in wanting out themselves too.
Basically there would be players that other clubs would have interest in for big trades like that, but as you say they’d have to want to move themselves.
The thing that would stop us even being able to have a discussion is our geography. No way would Petracca want to play in Brisbane.
Let's test that using shot charts for 2024 from the excellent Wheelo Ratings.Hipwood has been pretty good with the easy ones this year IIRC. Better than Joe, Charlie and Rayner I think
