Shatting me 2 tears this.

Wells is weighing up an approach from Collingwood which will give him at least a two-year deal. North Melbourne has a two-year deal on the table for Wells but earlier this week was not confident of retaining the midfielder.

The thought of Daniel Wells weighing up between North and Collingwood is a sad one.

 

[Rod Stroker]

Sure, why not.

Because you'd be tying up all that cap space on him for such a risky and injury prone player.
He's obviously not ok with what we've offered him, so you'd have to be offering him more to get him over there. Say at least 1M over 2 years. That's a lot of coin for someone who potentially won't play many games.

 

[kangatragic]

Don't think a two year deal at 500k at his age will net us much compo. End of second round at best but more likely 3rd rounder

 

[giantroo]

Daniel Wells, meanwhile, is set to leave the Kangaroos.

Sam 'Scoop' McClure said Collingwood and Geelong were the frontrunners.

"My understanding is that he's basically decided to leave North Melbourne and has a choice between Collingwood and Geelong," he explained.

Hmm…

 

[Mr Reliable]

You can't have an aggressive reset without some aggravation. Call it collateral damage. There's nothing any of us can say that will change his mind.


WELLSY PLEASE STAY!!!! PLEASE!!! I BEG YOU!!!

[gokangas]

Spoke to a good contact today who is certain Wellsy is gone. Called another similar contact who is convinced he is staying. I give up. Whatever, just do it so we can all get some rest.

Geelongs midfield will be awesome if he ends up there

Maybe Motlop is on the way out for Geelong. If we can get a compo pick that can land Cedric Cox in the draft. I'm ok with that.

Well Well Well$

We have no need for 32 year olds.

 

[Phillyroo]

I'm surprisingly ok about this.

The bloke is cooked.

 

[TwentyNine]

The sight of him in another team's guernsey would make me hurl.

 

[DJ Dupree]

Meh. Good luck to anyone who gets him managing him through his year long pinky fingernail injury absences
