Justin Sherman

[Doc26]

It is understood he has a heavily back ended contract at the Lions and I suspect the Lions would prefer to trade him to a Club that could wear the bulk if not all of this loading assuming they are in as bad a shape financially as has been reported.

I think the challenge for any team dealing with Brisbane is how much of Sherman's salary they cover. The team that is prepared to pay the greatest majority of it is likely to get a much better deal from Brisbane.

Not sure if I explained that too well, but say he's on 400K a year & one team says we'll pay $350 of that, Brisbane may be prepared to accept a pick of about 30 & if another team says we'll only pay $250 of his salary, Brisbane might want a pick around 20. Just use those picks/figures as a guide to illustrate my point, forget the actuals as they may be nowhere near right.

Thanks TCD. I agree. I endeavoured to make this point earlier in the thread. I suspect due to likely demand for a quick if Sherman does depart Brisbane that Brisbane wont be left carrying much if any of his back ended contract.

Johnno & Eagle were on the vets list, so we're only culling half of their salaries, Aker & Harbrow weren't on alot & even if you take out Everitt & Hill's salaries you have to factor into the equation recent re-signings in Lake, Cooney & Griffen (might be some serious coin there).

Lake was last year, so this year's cap already included him. Griffen apparently stayed for a lot less than he was offered elsewhere. Not sure on Cooney, but I thought he already had a new contract done after his Brownlow, so wouldn't be in line for a massive increase.

2 pay rises you would think would be a fair bit less than 3-5 full salaries

My point exactly. Your numbers don't sound unreasonable either, which would mean it's either the higher salary and the Harbrow pick, or a Everitt/Hill pick if things like pick 18 from Carlton are accurate

By the sounds of it, Brisbane would be well inclined to accept a lesser deal to make that happen, which actually puts us at a disadvantage compared to sides like Melbourne who forward-ended contracts this year to meet the minimum TPP

If he can bring this to the table

I would be certainly inclined to grab him, fits the mould as a ball runner and line breaker which I think outweigh his deficiencies

Fantstic pace. The kick went through but it was a floater.

He's the master of the floater.

We'd need to work hard to improve parts of his game - which may or may not work - but he's got talent (and pace) to burn.

A fit midfield trio of Cooney, Griffen and Sherman would be very exciting and hard to quell. Although, he's probably played better footy as a half forward.

I would add Higgins into that group as well, next year is a really big year for him personally as he needs to cement himself as primarily a midfielder who can push forward next season.

Tell me one player other than Harvey who moves that quick that doesn't have ordinary disposal.

Wojo, Davey they all butcher it at full tilt

Judd @ West Coast, was why he was such an incredible player. Now he can't get to that pace in the first place.

You're right though, that extreme pace almost always comes at the price of foot skills.

Andrew Lovett, probably the best and most balanced kick at pace in the AFL the last few years. Pity his brain is anything but balanced.

True. Current player

He might have to utilise his fast movement skills in prison...IF things don't go his way..

I think his improved ball handling skills may means his pace isnt required
