I am a bit worried about Motlop

Is he hot and cold like Daniel was ?

Why aren't Geelong clinging on to him like they would a Selwood or we would a Wines?

Is he their Impy?

With Ryder and Dixon I could see the need but ( forgive me) what's the big deal about Motlop

Will he be as good as Polec in traffic
Is he as fast as Peter Burger was?
Is he the Messiah , a naughty boy or a just a Mahoney/ Montgomery punt.

Actually if Wingard is an 8-9 out of 10 when on what number does Motlop get?

I can see the Watts possibilities but am concerned about the Motlop hype

Vickery was a mistake.

Impey won't be. Clarkson knows where the game is headed. It's all about versatility and pressure.
Time will tell I guess but Impey seriously can not kick to save his life.
If he was 5 years old something can be done but at his age I doubt it.

Motlop is still an upgrade in our Forwardline and wing, even if he is a bit hold/cold! I think everyone is just excited because of this years potential trade frenzy- others years have been lean and slow. Like Paddy/Bombers year - so fricken boring

Only 4 players in the last 4 years have averaged 19+ disposals and 1+ goal in 3 of the last 4 years

Dusty
Danger
Robbie gray
Motlop

If motlop kicked 1 more goal this year he'd be the only one to do it 4 years straight.

That's not to say he's in the class of the other 3 or that he's not without his flaws and inconsistencies, but to suggest he's "their impey" is selling him short imo.

He's also a great user of the ball going forward and fills a need for us in a position we've been filling with the proverbial deck chairs all year

This thread is the absolute worst but I can't stop looking.
That refresh button has become an addiction. We're making a car purchase earlier tonight, and I'm like madly refreshing in the hope of seeing a ZW post with a picture of an old guy waving his arms, while trying to sign the bloody contract. I'm checking every ten nanoseconds. I've gone mad and completely anti social thanks to the mega pricktease that is MotWatts.

There is a big game of poker going on with Port trying to deprive Geelong of a compensation pick for Motlop as long as possible so they can’t use it for Watts.

Meanwhile, the Crows are waiting for an answer from Motlop before agreeing to release Cameron.

Watts refusing to nominate a Club because he wants to know if the Cats are an option.

I suspect this will drag into the weekend.

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.
Sounds exactly what this board has been shouting about for the last three months. Everything we've all been baying for has happened and more. Push out the stragglers and bring in some serious FA talent. It could almost be the perfect off season.

Remember, this is everything we'd been asking of our football department. Don't forget that.
