Lumumba for Merrett swap?

Couple of interesting extracts from this article.

"Brisbane will have to wait 12 months before Cian is ready to kick his first Sherrin after the 17-year-old suffered an ACL injury in the All Ireland minor (under 18s) semi-final last week.

The Lions have also confirmed their interest in Essendon star Paddy Ryder, who is reportedly seeking a fresh start and has strong links to the Sunshine State through his wife, who is a Queenslander."

Pearce said his brother his light years ahead of him in endurance but he has him for pace. 

Also confirmation that we will be seeking to deal if Ryder nominates Brisbane as his preferred club.

@ Nas just remains to be seen to see whether we want a 28 y/o to replace a 30 year old. Could be handy fr a couple of years while our young defenders continue to develop with Maguire and Patful also

Injecting your players with substances that could harm a players unborn child is an absolute joke.

Who's there first round for Beams ?

[Ringo]

Do not think we will be making a play for Beams till next year when his contract is up.

Been a lot of talk about it don't think all is right at the Pies if he wants to come home the Pies may get more for him this year than next watch this space  ::)

if he is not contracted do we still have to make a deal with Collingwood ?

When he comes out of contract next year he will be eligible as a free agent I believe.

It would be great if we could get Beams up to Brisbane. Would much rather have him than Ryder.

He is only 24 for but maybe a restricted free agent ? If the Lions are willing to cough up there first pick and maybe a good young player and he wants to come home who knows but it would be a trade bonanza for the Lions

Yes it would be a restricted free agent, but with all the money in our salary cap, I'm sure we could offer him more than Collingwood.

Not sure if he is worth a first round pick and gun kid at this stage though. Unless we have someone else that wanted to go back home to Victoria, but there's none I can see going now.
