Bradshaw a Swan

[SthMelbDieHard]

Can't name my source but have it on very good authority that Daniel Bradshaw will be leaving the Lions. He's gutted at being tabled for Fev, is out of contract and is in talks with Swans officials....stay tuned.

[The Boot]

Of course we'll take him ... we'll be needing a good pair of hands up forward in Canberra!

[DST]

Well worth our PSD pick for a couple of years to help with the development of White and Johnstone.

Would suspect that White in particular would learn a lot from playing along side Bradshaw.

He's played plenty of footy down back and if his body is up to it he would be more valuable back there then as a forward, IMO.

I just think this is the most overrated theory in football.

[Bas]

I thought I read that he was offered a 2 year contract.

If he wants to come to Sydney. Yes.

[BSA5]

Wow, that would be a massive loss for Brisbane if true: first Pick 12 and Henderson for Fev and 27, and then losing Bradshaw on top of that! Lions fans will be ROPEABLE!

Even if it is true he is looking to move, there is no guarantee he'd get through to us in the PSD. A few clubs ahead of us probably have some spare salary cap space, and although they're all talking "yoof policy", if there's nothing else much in the PSD they don't have much to lose by taking Bradshaw.

And certainly at Melbourne and Richmond, probably at the Roos and Dockers too, it is hardly as if playing Bradshaw would be keeping some great young forward from getting a game.

[Captain]

Would love to get him and think he would be a fantastic addition to our forward line.

Unlikely though...

whilst all true he was definitely in Sydney Friday last week, and not for pleasure

Bradshaw is one of my favourite footballers from another team. Can understand why he's cheesed off. Love to see him in R&W.

[Primmy]

Goodness me, for the first time I can remember we the people of R&W agree. We like and want Bradshaw. What is wrong with you people!

[Industrial Fan]

Although in principle it is the same scenarop as Fevola that he'd take a spot in the Fwd line, he carries less baggage than the Fevola virus.

Has more value than BBBBBH too.

I'd pick him up at the drop of a hat.

[Cardinal]

I don't want him. He'll not be part of the team when we have our next premiership tilt. We have to play youth. He'll only take up a young eager kid's spot and hamper their development. Also not sure about whether we want his ilk at our club ie someone who is ready to jump ship the moment he is a little unhappy.

[hammo]

Still a very good footballer but is 31 and realistically only has two years left. As with the Fevola rumours, I'm not sure what hole he fills with Goodes, White, Johnson and the spriteley Playfair our recognised forwards, and Seaby and Currie likely to play a role up forward at times as well.

I'm not as concerned though as the Fevola talk. Bradshaw may be more likely to play a role much closer to goal than Fev ever would, and has shown he can function in a forward line with other targets.
