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.

Given Brennan has now been traded to the Gold Coast, it may free up some room in their cap.

Re: Justin Sherman

I believe they can afford him, especially with Brennan now gone but as you say, whether they should try and keep him is another issue when he has stated that he wants out.

They are reportedly 1 million over.

I believe he said Bulldogs or stay at Brisbane, but Sydney wasn't an option for him, meaning he would stay up North.

They've known Brennan was going for a couple of months, so this shouldn't change the Sherman trade scenario.

Re: Justin Sherman

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

That's my thoughts as well.
Has Voss just landed in from Pluto,if he keeps Sherman he'll walk in 12 months for squat!

I'll be surprised if we do get Sherman.

Voss has been quoted saying he will lose either Brennan or Sherman but not both of them.

Brisbane have the upper hand, just like we do with Hill.

Sherman doesn't want to go to Sydney, so Brisbane will risk losing him for nothing later on.

And paying a decent salary too.

Re: Justin Sherman

Sherman demands to be Dog or stay a Lion

JUSTIN SHERMAN may finish trade week where he started it - as a Brisbane Lion - with the Swans told yesterday that he would rather see out the final year of his contract with Brisbane than move to Sydney.

While the Swans remain optimistic they can change the onballer's mind, Sherman reiterated to the Lions that he wishes only to be traded to the Western Bulldogs and will not agree to join the Swans.

The Lions prefer Sydney's offer of pick 21 to the Bulldogs' pledge of a late-20s pick - their compensation selection for losing Jarrod Harbrow to the Gold Coast - but their hand may be forced should the Swans accept Sherman's reluctance and back away.

While the Lions' salary-cap pressures were eased yesterday when they cleared Jared Brennan to the Gold Coast, Sherman's contract is heavily back-ended and they may have no choice but to accept the Bulldogs' offer.

The Bulldogs and Hawthorn were yesterday yet to begin negotiations over forward Josh Hill, whose manager indicated to the Hawks yesterday that he would like to cross there, despite having a year to run on his contract.

In other trade news:

■ Neither Adelaide nor Carlton was budging over ruckman Sam Jacobs, the Blues insisting on a first-round pick and the Crows offering a second-round choice (around No. 33). The Crows were hopeful a deal would be brokered by Monday.

■ Another player to be pre-listed by Gold Coast - North Ballarat defender Cam Richardson - has told the club he wants only to be drafted to North Melbourne, the Roosters' AFL affiliate.

■ Nathan Djerrkura remains likely to end up at either the Western Bulldogs or Hawthorn, with the Cats keen to get that deal moving soon.
