Wonder how this effects team morale. Jars and Trengove were both pretty popular by the looks of things.

Positively, most likely. It's not like we kicked up a stink like the crows, or forced them out the door. We understood their situation and did our best to accommodate it.

In terms of popular players leaving, hopefully the list change is the rocket up the arse the player's need. Because all this talk of "hurt to not make/win finals" hasn't been doing the trick.

Definitely a draft selection I'd undo if I could. All that development for zero. All that playing him in games to help the side for zero. We got nothing out of Impey and I guess it does happen.
This bothers me more than anything else. Dude played nearly triple the amount of games for us than Ah Chee. If we'd invested that time into a bloke with Arch's talent, there's no way we'd be in a position where we were stuck trading him and having to haggle to get a ****ing third rounder.

Yeah I am struggling with Arch, it's the only guy I think we could be losing big on, in the trade.

I don't think it will be detrimental. Players are fairly used to other players moving nowadays. I think because the club has made sure that both these guys got to the club of their choice and it was all done respectfully it will be OK.

Yes, very impressed with the club's handling of these matters.

If we get Watts, I reckon Westhoff will play a bit of SANFL next year.
Westhoff still would be chosen before Watts, I would hope he can play a lot more up forward as some of his best games have been forward. Although he can still play the defensive winger. Should we get Watts he would be able to alternate between the two positions.
