A contracted pick 2 from two years ago?
I think Brisbane would want more - much more.
They might want more but if they're not confident he will overcome his home sickness they might consider cutting their losses.
Tend to agree the would probably want more.

So that scenario has Campbell going, and Martin as first ruck. The first question is can Schache, Boyd & Trengove (English in the wings) cover the second ruck role for the next year or two. If the answer is yes, and we are full of tall defenders, then I'd offer him up to see if we get a solid price. He's a wonderful human, but thats not what the trade period is about.
I think we would need at least one of the two and Campbell might make more sense in your scenario.
Roughy is such a good guy, I can't see us trading him

I don't think we'd get enough for Roughie vs the potential fall out amongst the group. He's very well liked by playing group and officials.
I've not seen anything firm out of the Schache camp that he's leaving, actually his manager came out 3 weeks ago and stated emphatically he'll be at the Lions next year. I hope we're not hedging our bets that we can pry him loose. An EOI to his manager is fine, but I'm not convinced he'll leave Brisbane at all, and it shouldn't be our focus. Martin is more attractive to me in the short term.
I would rather use our first rounder on a player like Gaff. Wants out and suits our need, hard running mid who is nice by foot.
It seems Geelong are out of the Stringer race - good couldn't handle him going there I'd lose my shite - and Essendon's 1st rounder is off the table. I'm hoping we beat Dodoro at the staring contest this time cause we don't have that much to lose.
But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.
Jon Ralph has confirmed the view that Hayden Crozier could be on his way to the Kennel.
A three day trade. GWS have Wilson likely heading to Freo. Freo, maybe Crozier to us. Us ? Maybe interest in Dev Smith or Kennedy additionally. Then more from us.

Devon Smith is a decent kick for goal and there is a spot waiting for him on our forward line. He would solve a few problems is only 24 and played a hundred games.
I'm all for it.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.
