Give us Sylvia for Lance and we'll call it a day.

Hmmmm, To help out the club you take a couple of pay cuts then you get put up for trade last year, then your President publicly bags you during the season, half the supporter base thinks you are 'greedy, selfish and fat', and to top it off you get offered a substantially reduced contract over two years.


Whitnalls manager has publicly stated the Lance is waiting to see if the club can move some players on to meet his demands.

If half the supporter base think he is greedy and selfish, comments from his representation only reinforce those views.

Then a club which has a genuine shot at the flag offers you a three year deal with more money.

Hmmm which would you choose?


Hes been vwery well looked after for a very long time with very little return...
He didnt take a pay cut he took a pay deferral... the president told him what HAD to be said.... he is "greedy selfish and in footballing terms 'fat'... and of course he gets offered a reduced contract.. he got the contract he desreves.. (too much in my opinion but anyway.....)

You cant just keep giving in to Fatty Fin ....

I wonder how much of an influence Nixon is here. I reckon he is pushing up Lance as much as possible for obvious reasons. I just don't think Lance is smart enough to be playing this game. I hope their grandstanding falls in a heap and they end up having to accept 100K (from Coll or Haw)

Melbourne seem the most keen on him, so we should be dealing with them unless another club comes to us with a better deal.

Listening to Rocket in an interbiew a few days ago he sounds like he is not chasing anybody. Greg Miller also did not sound like they were after anyone.
Melbourne or bust at the moment. I really wish Motlop was not on the market so trading Lance was easier for us to Melb.

I think you'll find Motlop will end up at one of the SA clubs.

Despite Ch.7 reporting last night that Lance had been offered a 3 year deal from the Dees, according to the Age today he has been offered a two year deal.

Craig Cameron has named Motlop and Lance as players he is interested in.
If that was just Lance then I would be a lot more confident thata top quality trade was available.
If we are offering 350k by 2 years then we really need Melb to be offering 400k by 3 years at least to get him to move on.

Yes Cameron has named Motlop and Lance as players they are interested in. We have the advantage though. Lance doesn't want to move back closer to home. But then again, S.Motlop, Davey and Whelan are all at Melbourne and are all connected to D.Motlop in some way.

I still think Lance would be their priority given that they are in need of another KPP. Motlop is more of a tall flanker ala Waite.

Also reported that Ben Holland wont be offered a contract until after trade week if at all. Sounds like they will wait until seeing if they can get Lance.
Not much salary cap room over at the Demons. Yze and Neitz re-signed.

I guess we will know soon enough. Nixon will leak any clubs interested in Lance. I hope it is more than just Melbourne.

Wonder if Lance or Ricky Nixon have read this quote from the Hun
Quote:
BRILLIANT Geelong midfielder Jimmy Bartel has turned his back on an extra $100,000 a season to stay with the Cats.


I'm not a Lance hater but really, after what he has been reputedly on, and for his output $300k or thereabouts is amazingly generous. I'm in the trade Lance camp now....but Blues - don't get screwed, I'd take 2 top 20 picks, don't want any hack cast off players.

I'm sure it'll be more than Melbourne.
Despite Rocket saying the other day on SEN that there aren't any KPP out there for them to trade for, I get the feeling he was playing clokes and daggers and that they are interested in Lance.

He's the only decent KPP on the market at the moment.

Any team who is need of one would be stupid if they didn't at enquire about him.

There should be no more talk about keeping him.. and my money is on him going for his money....

Yep not a selfish greedy bloke..


But look.. the club is better off without people like Lance..

We have to start again.. and they are inconsequential for our future....

He is nothing more than another Matty Allen.....

He and his mates have alot to answer for.. they want the money but theyre not prepared to do the hard yakka...

Funny how the only people that want to leave are from us.. (unless of course we give them OTT amounts)....

Maybe Polak as well. 1 article has him staying and the other has him leaving. Hay and Watts also.

I wouldn't exactly say Hay is anything special. Has a lot of injury problems as well.
Watts is an unknown.
Polak is a headcase.
