Jared Brennan, anyone?

Re: Jared Brennan, anyone?

Brennan is a freak but 600K is too much.

Josh Drummond could also be available - not sure what he is asking for but he would be a very handy replacement for Harbrow.

Lots of talk about Bachar Houli being out of favour at the Dons - wouldn't mind him in the red, white and blue either.

I think I heard somewhere that Drummond is asking around $400-$450, elite kick but is very injury prone with hammys & quads & now coming off LARS surgery. He is still only 26 & at the right price would be very dangerous.

I like Houli as well but I would think his future at Windy Hill all depends if Knights stays or not.

Myers is another who is always in & out of that team & always in the best at Bendigo.

Won't be coming to us though.

I would take him in a heartbeat ... But I agree, he won't be coming our way

Why? Do you honestly think he'll be a great service if we get him? When he is on his game he looks a million dollars but when he's off and that happens a lot he's atrocious!

I'd rather the Dogs not clutter up the cap with players like him. Carlton and GC are welcome to him.

I agree, he would not really address any of our weaknesses and would not come cheaply.
Either way, we will not be getting him.

Re: Jared Brennan, anyone?

don't want him, nor can we afford him.

Firstly, his versatility ... he can play forward, back, or in the ruck
Second, I disagree he's 'off' as much as you alude to ... playing injured or under done you are right he can be atrocious, when fit, he is a major influence in the game. Jonathon Brown said recently that Brennan was just about to join the elite of the AFL and I agree ... with a good team around him (for example us) he will become the next best thing.

If we get the opportunity, we should sign him ... but as i said in my original post, I doubt we will even get a look in.

Re: Jared Brennan, anyone?

Would've thought about $900,000 (Aker $200, Eagle $100(vet) Hahn $300, Johnson $300(vet)

Lake Cooney and Griffen would tke most of that

Re: Jared Brennan, anyone?

Nah, too inconsistent for mine. Maybe we could develop him a bit, but not at that price!

Re: Jared Brennan, anyone?

I would rather Sherman(if only he was on a little less money) as he fits our needs better and would be cheaper to get trade wise(and GC is the only place Brennen will be going).

He apparently has a heavily back loaded contract and few clubs would want to take that on.
The Lions have backed themselves into a corner with their contract management.

This.

I'd love Sherman, but surely he would cost us a fair bit too?

Yep, another stuff up. That place is falling apart fast.

If he was going to come to us we would definitely need to renegotiate his contract.

Either you pay bigtime in trades and Brisbane take the contract or get him cheap and wear the whole lot. Depends if Brisbane really do still have salary cap problems.
