Lance acquitted himself superbly in the one on one contests against Tredrea. Lance's game on Tredrea almost won us the game that night. ..................................................................................................It was also interesting watching Lance beat Matthew Pavlich in a number of one on one contests against Freo 2 weeks ago, when they were directly opposed in the last quarter.

Lance as a KP defender??? You cannot be serious?? It will only work as a band-aid, shock tactic.

Of course Whitnall will play on Tredrea this week. With Thornton out injured, we don't have anyone else. And of course last time we played Port
Lance did a fantastic job on Tredrea after he'd given Kouta an awful shellacking.
Yes, Lance could get exposed on the lead if Port's midfield gets on top but last time, when our midfield was competitive, Lance acquitted himself superbly in the one on one contests against Tredrea. Lance's game on Tredrea almost won us the game that night. Now according to mainstream opinion, Warren Tredrea is close to the best footballer in the league and Lance played on him in a way that few, if any key defenders in the league are capable of. Perhaps Tredrea should be traded for a speculative draft pick in a draft with no stand out key position players. After all, it seems that a team's best key position player is expendable.
It was also interesting watching Lance beat Matthew Pavlich in a number of one on one contests against Freo 2 weeks ago, when they were directly opposed in the last quarter. Is Pavlich over-rated or is it possible that Lance is a very good footballer and the only bloke at Carlton who can come close to competing with players like that ?
Maybe Freo should trade Pavlich for a speculative draft pick in a draft with possibly no key position players. Key position players, who needs 'em anyway ? I bet Fitzroy were glad they got rid of Alastair Lynch and Paul Roos because they were compensated with access to the best young players in the country.
So, what did happen to Fitzroy after they got rid of those over-rated key position players and replaced them with compensatory draft picks ?

Agree with the Duke. Keep Lance

Put him on a 1 year deal worth 300 000 - 350 000
Tell him if he plays well next year hell get a two year deal worth a bit more than that.

275 to 300 next year. 1 year deal. If lance was payed on performance week in week out he would finish in the top 6 in the B+F every year.
Lance is the reason long term contracts are not the way to go.

Probably right PJ
But would he accept that if no one else will take him
Despite his recent good form I still reckon a lot of clubs will be wary of an 190cm overweight forward who has only recently gotten rid of his 3 year form slump.

And both you and BV still ignore the fact that Lance was not the sweeper vs Richmond. I'm not using it as an argument to keep him or not keep him, simply pointing out that he had direct opponents in that game.
