Does the club take into consideration the funny buggers that opposition clubs may play, with respect to restricted free agents? For example, do they discuss, with Melbourne, the type of wage that the Demons won't match for Watts? Or do we try to talk to the player about leaving for the draft, if absolutely necessary? I'm worried that we're a little bit tied up, due to our second round pick being already traded, if we were forced to seek a trade with Melbourne.
It would just mean that we'd have to ship off a player or two first, in order to get what is required to obtain a "matched-offer" Watts, which could be problematic, as e al know that Trade Week doesn't truly start until the last few days....
