Reid also said don't believe what you read about Motlop. I assume that is in reference to the $$ being offered.

I have a feeling Crows are into someone about whom havent heard...

I really hope we attract some pace in this period
gotta be honest, im over selecting players because theyre "fast" like impey, white, johnson etc

give me a slow player with footy smarts that uses the ball well over a player whos primary asset is speed

Bingo! We need to start drafting footballers with a huge footy IQ and know how to use the ball not burn it because they react and then do everything at a million miles and hour.

Should we make a play for Gibbs? Imagine getting Rockliff, Watts, Motlop and Gibbs in the off-season... with Gibbs being purely a big F.U. to that other mob :p

Which could either mean they are getting him and don't want ppl to think it was just $$ or they missed out and they don't want to look like they offered more and still got rejected.

im not sure why Motlop is dragging out his prefered destination, my only reasoning behind it is maybe trying to get a good deal from Geelong so he can stay there, maybe its just due diligence but he's had 3 months to think about his? maybe its more about his manager say there's no rush to announce anything and we might get another 50k by waiting a couple of days. Port have given him a fair offer so if he goes to another club then i wont be worrying about it for a second

Maybe he doesn’t want to rush a decision that will ultimately have a huge impact on his future.. he is assessing his options and seeing which club is best for him.

Geez trade radio makes my work day fly past. From Kano and Lloydo, to Dwayno and Coono, then Bartelo, then Damo and Plougho, it's compulsive listening. Gonna miss it when it's over.
I was going to like this presuming you were being sarcastic but I had enough doubt not to
