Wow is this guy the best we can do in trade week? I read Scott wanted him to stay!
I wonder if real or just talking up his value?

I think the culture Betts has help to create with out indigenous boys would also help Motlop's footy
A partner not supportive of your career is only going to lead to tears. We also have maccas still working with us. I have no doubts about our culture. Meanwhile the mob down the road are attacking policemen.
I agree that Betts (and the AFC and the AFL) have been excellent in that regard --- wasn't enough to keep CC though.
1) Laziness appears to be the case, doesn't it? JJ would be a fearsome opponent, and could be a real asset for the Crows, if he threw his weight around as in the second Geelong game or the game where he laid 13 tackles (Carlton?). There's gotta be something amiss with his motivation when he goes a-missing.1) Could not be any lazier than Jenkins.
2) Go and watch the prelim and see who was one of Geelongs best.
3) He also doesnt run back to Qld in a premiership window like a little bitch.
1) Jenkins regularly sprints 200 metres to get on the end of goal scoring plays.
2) Call him soft if you like but he's never been lazy.
3) Motlop can be lazy but watch the prelim against Geelong again and you'll see he works as hard as anyone on the ground that night.
4) Reactions here remind me of when we got Eddie in free agency.
bloody funny and mostly true unfortunately.Jenkins regularly skips at half pace as he watches his opponent jog out of the forward 50. Jenkins often heads towards the goalsquare instead of offering a block or Sheppard for the ball carrier.
Jenkins does plenty of things which could be classified as lazy. If he ran with half as much intent toward the opposition as he does to get on the end of a scoring chain I might agree with you.
Sounds good on face value, but it's not up to Eddie to get the best out of Motlop --- it's up to Motlop, if he joins us. Eddie and the club can only do so much.Get him and back in Eddie to get the best out of him. His best (like his brothers) is match winning. He's a good age, free agent and there's a starting 18 spot for him with Cameron leaving.
I'm pretty sure there are 200k of reasons why charlie is leaving. Dont agree witb players leaving in contract especially in a good environment. Manup and play 1 more year, then i dont have a problem in him leaving.1) Laziness appears to be the case, doesn't it?

2) Agree again, mentioned above. He did in the PF what Houli did in the GF.
3) this strikes me as very unfairly harsh on CC.
As I type, I'm a day behind on posting and haven't caught up, but we might never know the real reasons why CC is going. If he misses his family and thinks he'll be a happier man in Brisbane, fair enough.
Did the menzel one come before or after motlop met with the crows
What if it's partner-related? What can the bloke do? Happy wife (partner), happy life.Manup and play 1 more year, then i dont have a problem in him leaving.
Come on dude. Adelaide a bloody great place to live. Look at today, perfect. Sure the winters are s**t here but there are worse places to live in the world. The major drawback of adelade is the job situation but it has great food, weather and beaches.What if it's partner-related? What can the bloke do? Happy wife (partner), happy life.
Sad, but often the case. He has a good grasp of team patterns and knows where to be, but his disposal .... and tackling ... and he's built like a stick-insect but not as tough .David Mackay clocks a lot of GPS kilometres too and we know he's not lazy; he's just ineffective.
A few like that in all teams, really.His best is breathtaking and his worst is infuriating.
It was afterAfter, I think.
Brodie Smith is near-irreplaceable, he's that good. BIG loss for us (I'd like to replay the GF with Smith and Gov fit, but ).... Did you ever run him off half back?
Rather than replace Charlie i wonder if he covers Brodie Smith next year?
Especially this season, really nailed the balance between attack and defence...without him our defence looked impotent on the rebound as his replacement was crap.Brodie Smith is near-irreplaceable, he's that good. BIG loss for us (I'd like to replay the GF with Smith and Gov fit, but ).
Motlop could run off the back of the square at centre bounces, but not do Smith's role, not consistently.
Smith structurally is our best player and was in the form of his career. Losing smith and gov killed us along with then picking the slowest player on our list otten as a replacement. Add in walker and talia playing injured and copping injuries to cc and brown in game and we were dead in the water. But some of the performances from key players was inexcusable.Brodie Smith is near-irreplaceable, he's that good. BIG loss for us (I'd like to replay the GF with Smith and Gov fit, but ).
Motlop could run off the back of the square at centre bounces, but not do Smith's role, not consistently.
I thought about that every time I watched him play. He has resting-unhappy-face.Unfortunately I think Charlie unhappiness has effected his footy.
Friday this week...then there's still a 3 day matching period for RFA's.When does FA officially close?
Good posting.Guys. GUYS!! Do you really think $500k per year will get it done at Adelaide? It won’t. Steven ain’t coming.
I actually hope I’m wrong. Lose Charles and we definitely need a Motlop.
