Hooray for Trade Rumors!

[nananana catman]

Anyway, who WOULD you be willing to give up to get him?

First 2 picks and one of moloney enright or spriggs, maybe wojcinski if they become extremely stubborn.

that's a lot of material, prolly wouldn't need to give so much for simmonds, although not same quality.

 

[Sammy D]

Well well well....look who Ottens has stated is his preferred club.

*Cough* I deserve some reputation *Cough*

 

[technicality]

Has Ottens said it's Geelong has he? If so how about we offer pick 16 Spriggs, Rahilly, Sam Newman and Polly Farmer for Ottens and the 67 cup?

All Hail Sammy D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want Ottens you'll have to give up some quality. It is obvious that a top line big man is worth a lot more than a top line small man.

Richmond gave up picks 6 and 20 for Brown last year, so I expect that they would want more than that for Ottens.

We desperately need a CHB... maybe Harley and your 1st round draft pick would do the trick.

As Greg Miller said "anyone who wants him will have to pay the price"

Firstly, if you are comparing Nathan Brown to Brad Ottens you are way off, Brown is far better.

Secondly, ahahahahahahahahaha Harley and first pick for Ottens? more like Harley for Ottens and a first round pick....yes, that should do the Trick.

 

[Fall Out Boy]

maybe Harley and your 1st round draft pick would do the trick.

So we give up one of the best two CHB's in the league AND our first pick, for a ruckman who is injury prone and who's best form came 18-24 months ago?

I rate Ottens, and want him, but he simply doesn't have the value you believe he has because of his form and injury worries.

Besides, if we believed what was written on Richmond boards, he's a dud and you'll be better off without him.

 

[Unwritten_Law]

Don't forget to throw in Coughlan...

With Ottens beig a big man he would be worth more than Brown at the trade table.

Also if he's not worth that much how come you guys are prepared to pay him a rumoured $500k per year?? I doubt that Harley would command that much.

Who cares if hes big, Troy Simmonds is big as well, hes not worth more than Brown, Jolly is big hes not worth more than Brown. There is no substitute for quality. We wont pay Ottens 500k a year, i think youd find its low 400's or somewhere about that.

Exactly 400K is the figure. The club went to lenghts to say that Ottens picked Geelong as a club over more money at Syd

C'mon Simmonds and Jolly aren't in Ottens class! He was a No 2 draft pick, All Australian, played 120 odd games, is still only 24 and coming into his prime. The main reason you need him is because he's BIG and quality. Clubs will be lining up to get him. You'll have to make a good offer to get him.

Injury prone, and if the views of Richmond fans are anything to go by, he lacks heart. Ask anyother club for a first round pick and their best CHB and youll find youll get a similar answer from a lot of them, NO! a few, including us will probably just laugh. We will put across a fair offer, but dont expect the world for a guy who apart from one season 3? years ago has proved little and has injury problems.

Ottens to Lions

thats the rumour from SEN this morning. Apparently for Brennan and McLaren trade.
Word is Ottens wants to go to Geelong or Sydney but Richmond want the Lions deal to happen.

Guess we wait and see if it happens or is just crap?

Have to say if they could work out the money in their cap , this deal would be better than anything we would give

 

[BigCat1]

They won't be able to fit him into the cap. Also the deal isn't as good as it sounds.

McLaren is junk. He is their 4th best ruckman and only looks good because he is in a gun side. Luke Weller and Morrison were better players and look how they've turned out

 

[Catman]

With regards to the Brisbane rumour, Ottens wants to stay in Victoria, so I can't see why he'd go to Brisbane - although playing for the Lions is appealing, but so is playing for Geelong.

Leigh Matthews has stated that Brennan is the most skilful player he has had anything to do with, cannot see them trading him. He'll be a regular for them next year and they will need their youngsters with all the possible retirements.

Half the people going around the VFL reserves are better than Mclaren
