Truth hurts.
You're probably on to something. Hypothetically, if clubs became aware that FA compensation was being removed next year then I dare say teams like Brisbane (Rich) and Melbourne (Watts) would look to offload their upcoming free agents through a trade while they can get compensated for them.
Or maybe we're already seeing it? Yarran and Redden were set to become free agents in 2016.

Rich would have to be at his lowest value, does he stick around for another season and hope to produce decent footy again to get a good new deal with the Lions or leave on a good FA deal?
Not sure he has much value at the trade table right now.

He'd be your best player.

He would be awesome in a good side
Rich would be the icing on the cake for a west coast or freomantly. Go close to being top 5 in both teams. For us i hope he sticks around. As mentioned in the above post he is one who benefits heavily from a performing side. I think his life is in qld though but thought the same with redden. Nothing will surprise me these days.
Rich in a quality side would just about be one of the very best in comp. I'm that confident. Hopefully that happens with us as when on song he is certainly the most damaging player we've got.

Is there a player at the Lions who actually wants to be there?
Wow that was really helpful to the discussion.

They're just dirty that they aren't going to get a first round pick for their gun defender Astbury

I know you're hurting over everyone wanting to leave, but try to see that it was simply asking a question relevant to the discussion

Bell, Walker, Jansen, Beams, Christenson, Robinson.
Not to mention those that have extended their contracts this year. Lewis Taylor, Daniel McStay, Darcy Gardiner, Nick Robertson, Tom Cutler, Jonathan Freeman, Ryan Harwood, Harris Andrews.
That's 14.
And those that may soon join. Schache, Keays, Hipwood, Whitecross, Bastinac.
That'll make 19. So that's nearly half the 2016 list at least.
Any other questions?
Not really hurting. Havent lost anyone this trade period we cant cover. Our Ins arent the best but they will be servicable. I just didnt think your one line comment added anything decent to the previous 5 posts. But then again neither did mine.

Not really. See, Roylion just gave me a straight up answer which I'm grateful for. I wonder why you couldn't you do the same? There's obviously players who want to be there and I wanted to know who they are. Taking my question as implying that no player wants to be there is your issue, not mine.
Cheers mate. So 9 players, roughly a quarter of your list want to be there. Its a good start.

Since when does asking any question ever add anything to the discussion? It's the answers a question generates that do, of which your answers didn't add much.

It's a stretch to add any players who *may* join to that list. Happy with those 14 though. Much better then most people think
Your question was, " Is there a player at the Lions who actually wants to be there?" You didn't ask who they were. Perhaps you should have given your original post a bit more thought.

I see your point, but its pretty obvious that question leads to which players want to be there. If you're getting caught up over the wording of a question it probably speaks more of your negative feelings toward the subject matter rather than the question itself. All I see is Lions fans still anxious over players wanting out after so many have already left. Getting defensive about the issue doesn't change the reality either, which is that more then half your list doesn't want to be there. It is what it is.
