Re: Justin Sherman

Look, I'm confident that we can get that deal done. It's just a matter of Brisbane doing due diligence trying to ensure there's no better deals for them on the table

But reportedly there is.

We have offered pick 28, Sydney have offered pick 21.... To me that's a better deal for Brisbane.

Other clubs can offer Brisbane whatever they like, if Sherman doesn't want to go there the offers are irrelevant. For all of Brisbane's posturing they're not exactly in a position of power, they can't make him go somewhere he doesn't want to go, and from the reports, they can't afford to let him stay. We should stand firm and just make sure he stays committed to only going to us.

I'm of the opinion that our offer could be improved to the point that the Lions might not have that much of a difference.
They would then accept the Bulldogs offer. One piece of the puzzle still needs to be completed though.

Re: Justin Sherman

Howabout some deal which included an upgrade of our Harbrow round pick for Hawthorn's first round pick and ontrade that for Sherman and Hill to the Hawks?

I think the hawks might be trying to use their 1st pick in a deal for hale.

You would imagine the first part at least is what's being worked on.

But if Brisbane hold it for two seasons won't it be pick 19?

Highly unlikely Crazy Vossy will won't to do this but.

I'm not keen on that, we'd effectively lose Hill for nothing. Not prepared to give up Hill and a late first round pick for Sherman. Plus I hate trading with Hawthorn.

Re: Justin Sherman

Why couldnt Hill have nominated WC and we couldve thrown them Stack and got Mitch Brown for both of them

I was thinking about also a swap of other draft picks for an upgrade there as part of a deal.

Re: Justin Sherman

3 way....

We lose Hill and Harbrow compo pick and gain north pick 17.
Hawks lose pick 19 for Hill and Hale.
North lose pick 17 and Hale for pick 19 and Harbrow compo pick.

On trade pick 17 to Brisbane for Sherman and Pick 31

Re: Justin Sherman

So overall in a nutshell we lose Hill, pick 28?
Gain Sherman and Pick 31

Thats a pretty good deal overall there i reckon.

Re: Justin Sherman

It's not just the Swans that impact on the deal - it's the Lions themselves.
We know they have salary cap issues, we just don't know the extent.
We do know that Fev was on a high salary this year and will now play next year, and that if Clark stays he has a reportedly massive back-end to his salary too.

Can the Lions keep a $400k pa Sherman on the books? I'm not so sure that paying him that much (due to the back-ended deal) when he wants out is a smart thing to do. The Lions would do best to try and negotiate a sweetener to our deal and get the trade done IMO.
