List Mgmt. Trade: Allen Christensen traded to Brisbane in exchange for National Draft selection no. 21

[Partridge]

Before the board goes nuts maybe we should wait until a few more reliable sources of rumour repeat it.

Contradiction in terms isn't it?

 

[Scorpio]

Could we at least get Gary back out of it?

 

[Whit3y]

We get a ruckman from Brisbane
Bazinga

trent west?
a masterstroke move by scott if thats the case

 

[vinum coupe]

Devils advocate.
I've always thought that Christensen won't have a full career. I reckon concussions will catch up with him.

Still doesn't make sense that he'd move from his family. Unless he's received a godfather offer.

 

[Sunny_]

He does have a cousin that plays for the Suns; Sean Lemmens.

But surely that's not enough to pack your bags. He grew up in Geelong, right?

 

[TheJimmyCartel]

Agreed. It's amazing how everyone wants to copy Fremantle because they have a big midfield. Remind me how many premierships they've won again?

I'd slightly tweak it - football ability is still to me by far the most important attribute. And at all clubs bar Hawthorn, the most neglected.

I agree that football ability is more important but a combination of both is necessary for a midfield group to hold their own physically IMO.

Hawthorn don't currently have have a midfield group as big as Freo and have superior football ability overall bar Fyfe probably but they're not 'small' either, Hodge, Burgoyne and Lewis are all 185cm+ and 88-90kg. Solid frames. My point is more that Hawthorns kids coming through in the midfield are all relatively small. Apart from Langford @ 187, Hallahan is biggest at 183cm and not even getting games.

Not good news if true. Bundy isnt at his peak value at the minute. Hopefully its gold coast. Surely would ask for May, Rory Thompson, Day or Lynch. Would need to add on something

 

[onlymagic]

This info would fit in with SOG's info reported last week about one of our young guns being offered big money somewhere else.
I'd say it would be GC as Brisbane have their hands full with Beams. What would bundy be worth if this was the case? He would not be cheap IMO.

 

[Stocks_go_Up]

Maybe Mark Thompson has a hand in this if he is going to be the next GC coach

 

[JPod_31]

Why the F would Bundy leave?? He is very loyal to the club and why would he leave his home town (Geelong).

 

[Bring back Moloney]

I'll FLIP OUT if Bundy goes. Genuinely will shatter me.

 

[Whit3y]

lifestyle change?

 

[MajorPayne]

Surely the Suns have enough mids? I have been enjoying the pies fans meltdown over Beams, now this!!! I hate trade week

 

[hbk_aus]

Shattering if true. One of the last guys you would expect to want to leave. Hope it's a bullshit rumour.

 

[hbk_aus]

Not sure if it's just me but his twitter account doesn't seem to exist anymore...

 

[dazbroncos]

It would be a gun for a gun. I don't want prospect picks. Bundy is massive for us and if this scandals tomfoolery has any life to it, its gonna cost whomever has come knocking. The offer, whatever it is, makes sense as he is a really good player. Forget the bit parts on this one.

Go Catters

 

[winty]

Don't the Suns have a priority pick this year immediately after our first pick? Maybe we'll ask for that pick and/or an established player if the rumours are true.

Someone like Jack Martin or Jaeger O'Meara would suffice.

Still there - @achristensen_28

No it's still there

Must just be my stupid iPhone then.

 

[fpm84]

What's Bundy's contract status?

 

[MajorPayne]

Is he contracted?

 

[dazbroncos]

Still there - @achristensen_28

this pleases me….

Go Catters

 

[catempire]

What's Bundy's contract status?

Uncontracted as far as I'm aware.

 

[Whit3y]

perhaps university of queensland have offered christensens partner a place in a medical course
