Is it just me or are we shedding a lot of players at the moment?

So far we've lost Krakouer, Monfries, Trengove and Impey with Young, Lobbe and Ah Chee heavily rumoured to be following them out the door. That is before any delistings.

In return we've got Rockliff and the possibility of Watts and/or Motlop.

And we've got no first round picks in what is supposedly a shallow draft. I hope Costanza knows what's he's doing here.
Salary dumping mate. Fitting the Big 3 in.

Lobbe could be the final piece.

OK so I think Watts has said, according to Cleary, that he's happy with either Ports or Geelong so is leaving it up to his manager to work out the best deal and is going overseas?
Then we had best move on Motlop now.
Yeah I heard that. It's probably just Cleary hedging his bets but if there's even just a bit of truth to it, that's pretty poor... where's the conviction?

I don't want him coming here with a some crappy half-arsed attitude.

I like Arch the forward and goal kicker but not sold on Arch the midfielder and field kicker. Totally opposite to Butcher.:drunk:
Ah Chee is a half forward in an inside mids body.

He's basically Powell-Pepper without the aggression.

I sorta hope Young and Arch stay another year. I do have to admit we are turnin over the list a fair bit.

Guys like White, Toumpas and Eddy might be a chance to hang around another year due to the amount of guys we are trading.

Would much rather have Young and Arch around as depth.

Ide suggest it will be us if that is true.

I got a feeling his manager want's him with us as he feels that he could fulfill his potential the most.
It feels more like it is Geelong if they can satisfy Melbourne and us if they cannot.

It’s starting to annoy me a bit. I’m generally not the bedwetting type, but we’ve now had 7 days of free agency and 4 days of trade week. I understand that it can take a while to get deals done, but how do you get this far without even nominating a club?

Listening to Paul Connors last week, he mentioned there was a bit of interest out there for Youngy and he seemed pretty positive that he'd get a deal elsewhere for him.

Still a few that may involve us. Whether these are going to go ahead or even are likely to anymore they have all been suggested. There is the Lobbe move to Brisbane, which may just have been put about by someone being hopeful as it has been denied by Brisbane, the Motlop free agent move which is looking less likely by each day, Young's possible move to GCS, AhChee's move to West Coast and Watts move to us. The free agency offer period ends on 5pm on Sunday and the matching period ends on Wednesday. Expect a rush of trades next week as there have only been three trades and two free agents this week.
