According to 10 news in Adelaide, Daniel Motlop has asked to be traded to Geelong. Over to you.
 
Wow - never saw that coming. Thanks for the news anyway.

Initial reaction is if they are willing to take say Gamble or Djerkurra for him - and he was the right price - why not ?

However I do not know his background re issues outside of playing and this could be a deal breaker if he has had issues in the past off field.
 
Would take him. Seems strange that he would request Geelong, unless we spoke with him. Not looking good for Ablett if we are thinking about bringing players in. Third rounder or a fringe player given injuries and fitness issues.

His only off-field issue appears to be a fractured family unit, where his partner has moved to WA with their child. Most Port supporters expected him to seek a trade to Freo or West Coast, this rumour is a surprise, linked to Steven. Of course, it is early days in silly season.;)

Not that strange. Maybe he wants to play with his brother?

Wouldn't be able to afford him, surely.

You serious?

Offer him a Big Mac a game and he'd almost certainly agree to those terms. If it was looking like he needed more persuading then offer him a Big Mac meal and you'd probably get him to sign for life.

Guys a talent, but professional he is not.
 
**** that, he is a dirty undisciplined dog of a human being.
 
29 Next year.

You wouldn't pay a lot.

28(google is your friend ;))

I doubt cats would take him at that age - unless they do a StKilda and try to build a list of senior citizens.....

They said he wanted to play with his brother. He isnt a team player and more of a show boat.. id rather not have him

Its not like we need another smallish forward... we have them coming out our ears.

Lol, but can you imagine SJ and Motlop in the same forward line though... you'd never know what either of them would do.

Correct weight VC. He can play but at that age - pass for mine.

Age shouldn't be an issue seeing as you're in your premiership window.

What would be more of an issue is his 'professionalism' (or lack there of) in a premiership-winning club culture.

For a relatively cheap trade, you'd be silly not to at least pause and weigh the benefits and risks.

That was my only thinking.
Move Varcoe into the midfield full time.
Give some more tim to develop the kids. But I didn't think he was 29 to be honest.
 
Ahh.... probably should have a look at it, not overly convinced it would be a great idea :confused:
