Rumour GFC 2017 Player Trading, Drafting, FA, Rumours, and Wish lists.

[GeelongFTW]

Illegal to on-trade playera im pretty sure.

 

[Pack Specialist]

Trade radio is such a waste of time really just blokes blabbering on with no substance.

The only people with credibility are the managers and they aren't saying much besides the obvious.

 

[thegerman]

Here's an idea, a bit outside the envelope I admit, get Watts signed and then send him to GC.

No sign and trade in AFL just yet

 

[Turbocat]

More than happy to offer Stringer $600k - essentially Motlop out, Stringer in - as well as pick 20 and steak knives to the Bulldogs.

Thats more than he is worth

 

[Pack Specialist]

He's no dud. He is someone who needs to be managed and pushed, a bit like Motlop, except that he is more versatile. We've seen glimpses of this, but not consistently enough. Let's not forget Melbourne was a basket case for Watts first 5 or 6 seasons. Wherever he goes will be his last chance, and he will be acutely aware of that.

He'll excel at his next club I think.

This will be the motivation he needs.

He's a Mitch Brown/Shane Kersten type who is playing to the limit of his potential,give him a wide berth,perfect hand bag material.

Haha.

You're joking surely.

Thats outside the realms of reality and possability

 

[Spearman]

Watt is a laid back dude, perfect for the laid back Gold Coast

probably should have used a tongue-in-cheek smilie in my original post

A) You often need to pay more than a player is worth to get them, especially if contracted and/or another club also wants them
B) He's an AA mid sized forward. Do not grow on trees.
C) We need more quality forward firepower.

600k and 2018 R1/ 2017 Pick 20. Get it done cats.

This. Do it.

Watts is so laid back he should be rowing for Australia in the Woman's 4's

I'd start a 4/2.4m and the 2018 first.

There is still more to be played out here.

Not sure how the football world and his coach at school, Robert Shaw, got it so wrong with Watts. I'd say he has inconsistently played to his full potential because he was allowed to get away with that. Anyway, Geelong is not in the frame for Watts so we can all relax.

 

[Grimoz]

So still no announcement from Stringer, if its already settled and he has decided then what is the hold up, spit it out.

I am glad that the people doing the wheeling and dealing for the Cats are not Bigfooty members.

Obviously we not willing to give up 2018 round 1, and probably rightly so. Just wish we could find someone to take 20 plus Stanley and gives us back a 10-15 pick..

8's?

There's an oxymoron

and all that is being offered for him by Ess may be P28 ... one has to beat their offer , but not over pay by that much

I really want him.

The salivating over a 9.9 possession, 0.9 goal forward with a dodgy knee is hilarious.

Watts is way better than Smith, much bigger and more skilled.

Unlike Smith, Watts has also proven he has the tank to play midfield.

 

[The rabbi]

I see that Dennis Armfield is leaving Carlton and will be wearing the Blue and white next year.

Too true but they are the only ones who have the real inside info and they aren't sharing!

The rest of trade radio is from the scandals and rumours board, draft and free agency and quite possibly Bay 13.

For all that bluster you seriously think if the Dogs refuse to cave Dodo won't stump up 11 to get him. Ok then.
Who cares about monetary value? We happily paid 600k to Motlop pre-CBA deal and he looks like he's off.

Paying Stringer that much makes more sense than doing it for SM.
Stringer is there for the taking if we want him enough. No use letting him pass if we can get him then just taking a pick in the draft.

We're looking at the now, just because some of the weaklings on here have waved the white flag and given up so soon doesn't mean the club has.
Worrying about 600k and using one of p20 or 2018 R1 is small fry stuff.
