Exactly. It didn't happen this year because the clubs he wanted to go to didn't have any draft capital that satisfied the Lions

Why should the lions expect anything for him? He's played mostly VFL his whole time there and effectively the entirety of last season. Will be delisted next season anyway

The aim is losing 500k and getting someone cheaper, not draft capital. Moving on Dev and lets say signing Mitch Hardie on 150k was a much smarter move then keeping Dev for 1 more year and burning cash for no real gain
Dev played 16 games in 2023 and was in our grand final team that year... and he's played 40 odd games for Brisbane over 4 years in a very successful Brisbane era.
People seem to think he's not a valuable asset to have at the club just because he's had a rough 2024 season. If we have one or two injuries to midfielders early in the season he could well end up playing 20+ games for us. Particularly with Sharp being traded to Melbourne.
Some of the posts around Big Footy about Dev come across as really spiteful. Fans should take that spiteful attitude and direct it towards their clubs, as more than likely a pick 30 would have gotten him to your club in this trade period.
