Media alert #2

[MacMum]

I can understand how it must have felt...having a lovely carefree holiday, away from the world, and next thing its all turned upside down...he probably felt shocked and let down that the Cats wanted to shaft him...then probably in a quandry what will happen to me now type thing....then not a lot of time to think about an offer from us.....all in 2 days..

..thats a lot of emotional turmoil right there.

Obviously we would love for these guys to be super excited to be coming up to us....but we forget what they are actually going through in such a short time....saying goodbye to family and friends, packing up, arrangements to be made, not knowing where you are going to live or with whom etc.....it would be like starting a new job all over again...one you hadn't realised you were going to get.

We can only keep fingers crossed he ends up happy to be given another chance once he finds his feet.

So, the message I got from that was,
"I'm shattered to be leaving Geelong where I really want to be. I had to rush the decision without proper consideration. I really don't know how it'll work, being in the same side as Leuey. Yay."

And on top of all that he didn't have the balls to say no! What a useless prick.

Geez, sometimes it is best just to lie Trent.

Geez, sometimes it is best just to lie Trent.

Yes, but his nose would grow!

Least we know we have another honest one on our hands.

On the Lions fan cast Jackson Paine came across as intelligent and switched on about his game and how he could develop I thought. I'm looking forward to seeing what he and the Club can do for each other.

Did he say I got ahead of my self at the Pies because I was pick shit and I deserved to get games?

 

[brizrider]

Ah, no. He said that he couldn't fit into C'wood's plans for him despite trying. He doesn't know much about Brisbane but he's impressed by Leppa after their chat and he's looking forward to the challenge and the move . Not too worried about being in Brissie and away from AFL central, happy to be on a senior list and included in a club's plans...

thread needs more TP for bunghole

Lions Twitter feed says they have 'exciting news' to announce at 3pm.

 

[Ceebee]

Blacky coaching?

 

[brizrider]

Blacky coaching?

I guess so.

 

[Paul D]

Blacky coaching?

Or Staker re-signed?

 

[jackess]

Luke McGuane most likely. Hopefully more though.

 

[brizrider]

Yep looks like its McGuane - Rocky just retweeted SEN saying that he's going to discuss it on-air this afternoon.

 

[iBeng]

Would have preferred Staker or Black news tbh...

Lions Twitter feed says they have 'exciting news' to announce at 3pm.

My view is anything genuinely exciting gets leaked. Anything the club announces as exciting news is a bit "meh".

 

[whizkizz]

I don't think I've seen it officially confirmed yet, but this article about Peter Schwab may have let the cat out of the bag?

http://www.news.com.au/sport/afl/pe...justin-leppitsch/story-fnelctok-1226751800157

Schwab's matchday duties will centre around ensuring Leppitsch's vision is being implemented by line coaches Simon Black (forwards), Shane Woewodin (midfield) and Murray Davis (defence).

 

[Old Den]

Staker signs.

Agreed

 

[Davemonkey]

Gazumped us with their own gazump. Stakes is looking good for the Lions for two more years.

 

[iBeng]

Ah good, the Staker news brings this right up to the correct level of excitement.

Wheres all those rumours of Staker going to Carlton now? Best 22 starter next year.

And McGuane for depth.

 

[WhiteLionFeva]

The Age reporting that McGuane has been signed to two year contract as delisted free agent.
