Fu** No
I would rather miss out on Motlop than pay overs. He's a talent no question but if Geelong couldn't get him to play consistent footy it would be naive to think we could. So excitement needs to be tempered.
Im not sure we'll miss out in any case, our club is better suited but money does talk.

HOLY SHIT !!!

Melbourne’s Jack Watts will reportedly choose Port Adelaide as his preferred destination this trade period.

Watts, who also met with Geelong last week, was told by the Demons he would be put up for trade during his exit meeting a fortnight ago, despite still having two years to run on his current deal.
First I've heard of it.

Loving Trade Radio this am. Talking Crows are panicking and offering way too much for Motlop.
Then mentioned the GF and Lever debacles.
Delicious.
How amusing would it be if they can't afford Sloane and Crouch in 12 months because they offered overs to Motlop to spite us.
Maybe they now know Sloane is going

With all due respect to Jarman that's a rip off even if they win the flag.
On delivered output, sure. First point in this thread where I recall one of our own even suggesting a 1st rounder for the Imp. Suspect Scottyjr may have been stirring that Hawks poster who claimed we were asking for such.

I'd think Motlop is a 600k first year and 450k a year for 3 years after that. Load him up front, but for mine he isn't worth much more than that 450k mark.

Disappointing though that all signs point to the Crows. I really wanted Motlop. Our biggest concern is our outside link play and he is a genuine linebreaker in that role.
I still think we will get him, but I think a lot of people have been seduced by his 2 finals games. He was pretty poor in the regular season. I agree he is the type we need, but to pay him what is being reported (i.e. the 600k the crows have been said to have offered [which i think is bollocks also]) is way too much.
