Jamie Charman Signs New Contract
When players like Koschitzke and Jamie Charman sign new contracts to stay at their current teams it shows that the teams down the bottom of the ladder are not really trying to improve. Richmond, Carlton and Melbourne need to be doing everything they can to entice an uncontracted star to their clubs, but the list of available players is getting smaller every week.
Charman's signing will enable Brisbane to have stability with their list and allow them to plan to improve for next season. The Charman and Leuenberger ruck combination should be a great weapon for the Lions in 2008. It also allows the Lions to use Cameron Wood as a trade asset, and he could bring the Lions a very good draft pick.
The Lions may also look to trade Wood to a team that needs a ruckman and also has a young Queenslander on their list. A Wood for Sam Gilbert trade with the Saints would make some sense for both teams. The Bulldogs would not want to trade Tom Williams, but they would have to consider a trade offer if Williams did want to return to Queensland, and Wood would be a welcome addition to the Bulldogs.
From the Herald Sun: Charman agrees to new deal
