I think JJ stays now Gold Coast have lured Ben Long there.

That’s something I hadn’t considered Mofra

I figured they wanted both but you might be right

Didn't they want JJ for the backline?

Ben has been playing there and I think that GC want a tough player in their back line.

I thought he was a forward

At footscray sure. Has been in defence for ages

[Mofra]

Didn't they want JJ for the backline?

Yes, but Ben Long seems to have jumped the queue.
They get 2-3 best 22 players back for 2024 off HB as well (Weller among them, and perhaps Swallow)

Johannisen is firming to stay a Bulldog

Saint Ben Long’s decision to request a trade to Gold Coast on a four-year deal means 2016 Norm Smith medallist Jason Johannisen is firming to stay a Bulldog.

Johannisen, who turns 30 in November, was among the Suns’ options to replace injured half-back trio Lachie Weller, Wil Powell and Connor Budarick, who are all recovering from ACL tears.

He was keen for a three-year deal at Gold Coast but is no longer a priority for the Suns since Long’s commitment fills that defensive need.

The Dogs are understood to have presented Johannisen with a two-year offer that may now be his best option as negotiations continue.

I'm happy with that.

Also, a bit of "forced" change wouldn't be horrible!

[kruder]

Yep I'm keen to keep JJ on the list.

[1eyedog]

He'll probably get a better deal elsewhere and I'd hope he takes it so we can secure a pick and replenish through the draft. JJ is cooked imo.

and they will get one with cement hands. Long needs a footy with a handle attached.

[Bulldog4life]

Looking forward to seeing Liam back with us.

[bulldogtragic]

Kind of less fun with Liam again, and Caleb ‘Premiership’ Daniel too.

I remember he thought dogs fans were ‘mean’ when he quit. I hope everyone is nicer now, with maturity and perspective through COVID.

What’s the sense? Liam back at the club officially this Friday?

[GVGjr]

It will happen later in window won't it? So that it doesn't impact any other deals.
