Message: [QUOTE="Sproj, post: 3433157, member: 8423"] Short answer: Mostly wishful thinking though with some very, very loose basis. Long answer: Buddy is coming to the end of his massive Swans contract. He is 35 and there have apparently been a breakdown in negotiations to extend him. Reportedly, they are a long way apart in what they both want. Buddy is on record as saying him and his wife want to move to Queensland. This is the very loose basis there. The Lions coach, Chris Fagan was asked about this and he said it is news to him but if Buddy was open to it, he'd get on the phone to chat for sure but also said he thinks Buddy will retire if going to Queensland. Now is where it gets interesting. The Lions like to play with three talls in the forward line and of those talls, Dan McStay is unsigned heading into the trade period and has been offered a massive deal with Collingwood which he has reportedly taken as it way way above what he is worth. This would free up a tall spot for Buddy. Bear in mind though that the Lions issue is not their forward line, when the ball gets in there, they are lethal, comfortably the number 1 scoring team in the AFL, like it isn't even close. The Lions though have history with taking on old Hawthorn players and **** has a long history with Buddy. This doesn't really make all the much sense unless he is coming very cheap which he won't be. Plus the Swans' list look just as capable, if not more so, of winning the whole thing as the Lions do. [/QUOTE]
