Player is pretty broad. We'll give up Kersten, Vardy and maybe some other squad players like Lang or Murdoch but I doubt we'll give up a best 22 player unless they request a trade. Not overly keen on selling Motlop either, his stock is at an all time low but when he's on he's a fantastic player. I swear Eddie Betts was seen as a finals bottler at one stage. It means little IMO.

Does our Wells compo pick get the job done (~32)?
We'll take his ridiculous salary too, we have no one to spend our cap on.

What about Tigers swap Deledio and 27 for Caddy and Motlop will relieve cap space for the Cats think it's unders but don't know how much the cats want to move on Motlop.
LOL...at how you expect to trade in two good players, but expect to only part with fringe to discarded players.
Motlop is way overpriced and overpaid.

Agree with you but how bad do cats want to off load Motlop given he is a free agent next year? They may take a low second round pick?

Caddy is going to the Tigers for Deledio and a swap of late picks lock it in!
They approached us, we didn't chase them. If we can't find a suitable deal, we will just move on.
I'm not sure what part of this people don't understand

Not when they'll get an end of first compo pick next year, from a player who tends to play well in contract years.
Leave him there. Geelong is the ultimate place for a Cat!

Surprised Melbourne hasn't shown interest in Motlop I reckon he's the kind of player who would complement our list well.
38 goals and 20 touches a game. Nah. Everyone is suffering goldfish syndrome. Top 10 pick or get lost.
Not correct. But richmond wanted to pay him 700,000 plus last year.
On paper he seems a good fit....Dees aren't short on hard nut inside midfielders, but don't have a great deal of outside run and flair.
Of course they did.

North were into him too, before he re-signed with us, so they gave up pick 15 for Jed Anderson...
What does that make Motlop worth, comparatively speaking?

Out of contract at the time. The $ value would have allowed Tigers to force Geelong to take unders in a trade offer as at that money he realistically would have survived in the pre season draft to the Tiges pick. Pay overs at Salary level and minimise draft impact. Once he's contracted the incentive to pay that much for him dries up. Geelong forced to pay more than they would have preferred because the offer was on the table.

Poor finals cost him a bit of cash you'd think. In any case, I'm ok with him sticking around with something to prove to get a big deal next year. At the end of the day he's one of 3 players to average over 19 touches a game whilst kicking 35 for the year in 2016.
