Ah, if only your first impression were true. Dangerfield and Selwood in the same midfield, it would be trump Couch and Bairstow at their best.
As for Clark, it would just be coincidence. Varcoe may not be traded now though, as he will be needed in the role Bundy has left.

Have heard rumors that if Pies knock back Lions latest deal (pick 5 and 25) for Beams, they will offer Geelong pick 5 for Bundy.
jesus lads whats the go down there ? why would he leave you lot, anyway hope its the lions , maybe the pies stuffing us about means we will get beams to hold off for 12 months have half a go, and come for nothing to us in 2015 and we give you 5 for christian now ! pies may need to change the attitude a bit
not sure how many bickies left in the gold coast bin ? while we still have plenty even with beams
next few days will be interesting
feel for you , its a crap feeling to see your boys bail out , god knows we know what its like

I really hope we get well compensated though because I think to lose another player we rely on heavily in midfield (and would have been here for the next 7-8 years) will set us back something shocking.
I just can't see how we remain a top 4-6 chance as we already saw firsthand how little zip/creativity the team lacked when Christensen missed large chunks of this season.

Yes please!
It sure has. Of all our youngsters, he was the most important. It was just so obvious how influential he was when out there. What a wank.

Years ago QLD was the place if you were running away from something and looking for a fresh start today it's very much the West,so I reckon the answer is tied to Qld more than Geelong the town or people in it.Mmm, the above is odd. If it is Geelong the town then Melbourne is only a 50 minute drive up the road. To me the 'town has become toxic' means less the town per se than some sort of personal relationship(s) going on within it. He may want distance from family, it may be a break-up. Who knows, and I guess it's none of our business anyway.
Very sad to see him go. Great player with heaps of football left in him.
Perhaps a direct swap with Ablett.

Yeah- I get it but I think you'll find all cities and towns have speed limits that are crappy in parts. Moving cities isn't going to change much in that respect.
Not even for a first round pick? As if we wouldn't.

Don't think Bundy is worth pick 5. He's realistically worth a pick in the twenties IMO, so I'd be very surprised if we got pick 5 for him. There's so much rubbish talk this time of year. I hope the Cats play hard ball with him though.
Think the Pies will take that. Straight swap of pick 5 for Bundy? And we keep 14?

True, QLD was once for escapees. Especially Vics. Isn't his family from the greater Geelong area - Lara? That said, I think I recall that his father worked in the top end of QLD. Anyway, guess we can't keep him if he wants out. No point being stuck with an unhappy young player.
BRIS's pick 8 thank you.

Personally I'd happily accept that.
It seems like Christensen is determined to leave, so if you can't get the Beams deal over the line and offered us Pick 5 for him I'd be disappointed if the club knocked it back or dug their heels in.

I'm a QLD'er who moved to Geelong with family as a kid and I have no interest in moving back to QLD. As a kid all I wanted to do was return "home", but having made many visits to QLD over the years, the older I got the more I realised how I was missing out on nothing by living south.
Having lived in both places I know which one I would choose.

Simple answer. If he's being given a godfather three year deal, he can play out his contract with us and go there at the end of next year (if the offer is still there). Unless they absolutely bowl us over with a trade offer, I think we have to hang on to him.

Very very dissapointing news hopefully the club doesn't gent bent over like they have for the last few years at the trade table.
To look at both Christensen & Lonergan together.
The general feel is we'd probably lose out on the Christensen trade, as he wants out, has history of injuries and concussion. We'll get un
Seeing as Lonergan is contracted, we would have to be the big winner of the deal for us to come to the party
No Deal, unless we're clear winners

No doubt he's a good footballer, but he's not the equivalent of pick 5 in value. People just get carried away with these things. Low to mid 20's is about right for him. If the club got pick 5 that would be a huge win, but they won't because Brisbane are not that stupid.
