Yep, if we do pick him up I hope we try and replicate the success we had with Harbrow down back.
Once upon a time he was a quick midfielder/forward who couldn't find the ball and struggled to hit targets.

Anyone listening to SEN?
Was just reading on another forum, they mentioned a massive deal tomorrow, but didn't say who.
Josh is keen for a switch. IF players are unhappy it's hard to see them doing well. I'm really disappointed that we have persisted with Higgins and others even though they were not 100% at the expense of gametime for Hill, who Rocket has gone on record saying he 'has an awful amount of faith in' . Dunno, he has a lot to offer, but maybe not for us. Players do well where they are happy IMO, regardless of what they have to offer. I'd go for a consistent player / workhorse with intense attack.
I'm just thinking out loud here but Byron Schammer seems to be a highly touted junior who has similar attributes to the players we've been looking at and is also struggling for game time at Fremantle. I understand he may still have a year to run on his contract but so do Sherman & Walker. Is there a reason his name hasn't come up in trade discussions?
Jared Brennan and Josh Fraser and pick 10 (Bris) to the GC
Andrew Krakouer and some kid from the WAFL to Collingwood
Picks 5 (GC) & 25 (Coll) to Brisbane
If GC have Fraser, where does that leave Minson?
Would they use Fraser as a permanent forward? They also have a kid called Zac Smith who they really rate.
Yeah read this too, if its true, a few things:
1 - Why is Voss dropping down the order in first round picks and giving Brennan away for pick 25??? Doesn't make any sense to me.
2 - Minson could play a role, you'd think Josh has only a year or two left, and they could play them both plus Smith, given they'll struggle for the big seasoned bodies. Minson north still sounds plausible
3 - If he wasn't already, Leon Davis maybe gone if they are recruiting Krak who'd play a similar role you'd think, and
4 - Travis Cloke is staying if the GC are picking up Fraser as their one allowed uncontracted player from the Pies
Yeah had just read below, and misread Sockeye's post...note the reference to Pick 15, Sockeye's version makes more sense and you would imagine below is wrong. Not surprising given the journo..

NEW AFL club Gold Coast has continued a recruiting heist with a historic trade deal to win the highly sought after services of brilliant Brisbane midfielder Jared Brennan.
...
Brennan, 26, who is out of contract and disgruntled with the Lions, is understood to have been traded to Gold Coast in a complicated deal that includes the new club on-trading pick number 25 they secured for swapping Krakouer to the Pies.
Brennan’s move also caused a swap between picks 10 and 15.
Brisbane had been due for pick number 10, while the Gold Coast had 15.
