Well george, was the source motters himself? And is it a straight swap according to your most reputable source?
Rumour Motlop happy at Geelong; unknown sourced speculation he could be traded

As said, I went for Boyd.
I don't think there is a wrong selection out of those who were voted for.
Love the way JJ plays, and reminds me of one of my all-time Cat favourites Wojo, only he gets a lot more of the ball.
Kennedy was amazing, but they lost.
Picken had massive impact.
JJ ran and created havoc for Swans all day, and made Rohan look slow at times.
He didn't kick a goal. It was ruled as touched

I went for Picken...thought he changed the game ...but JJ gained 750 meters, and while his disposal wasn't flash in the GF, he was certainly in the mix.
Boyd was frighteningly good....
Only plays well against Geelong
It is reported clube will not offer a lot for Motlop.
Do we always get screwed by clubs in this situation?
Are we just trying to clear cap space and to do so we loose our second highest goal scorer.
We should NOT do so unless we get a late first rounder.
In exchange do we get a skinny kid who may play after 2 years training?

Wouldn't even trade him for a late 1st rounder if he wanted out. We'll get at least that next year through free agency compensation. Worst case scenario we finish outside the top 8 and it's a top 10 pick. He's contracted, we hold all the power. It's about time the Geelong FC pulled a Dodododododoro.

Are we still taking about Motlop?
Not entirely similar players, but I see a lot of similarities in output and attitude between Jake Stringer and Motlop. You can bet your bottom dollar if you asked most neutrals, and certainly Bulldogs fans, Cam Luke, "the List Manager" and Barrett what Stringer's trade value was, they'd say a top 10 pick. So Mots would have to be worth a late 1st rounder at least. We are silly if we accept less, unless we have cap issues.
Jon Ralph has just stated on HS website that Motlop is worth pick 25, Hanley pick 9 and Deledio pick 15. Can't quite understand the rationale behind these ratings. One is nearing 30 and has come off an injury interrupted year; another is 28, has been a decent player but no star in a lowly team; and the other, whilst often frustrating has still kicked 38 goals for the year and is only mid-20's. Yet the last one is the worst rated

I'm guessing the perceived attitude is a big part of those estimates.

Apparently Motlop's manager Ned Guy has been on Trade Radio in the last half-hour. Anyone hear it?
The perceived attitude of the football industry about Hanley isn't favourable. So what would he be worth if his attitude was perceived as flawless, pick 1?
I guess so. But he's hardly, to my knowledge, been a complete ratbag. On field he could show more consistency of effort but those half forwards with x-factor are invariably a bit flighty by nature. To me it's a case of clubs (and I even include Geelong) looking too much at his downside rather than considering the considerable upside that comes with him in the team.

Was looking at Twitter for Trade Radio & it said Ned Guy was on & there's tweets/quotes by him about other players but nothing on Motlop ? A bit weird considering before he came on they said "Live now on @traderadio Agents hour with @nedguy12. News on Koby Stevens, Motlop, Dev Smith, Ricky Henderson. AFL site or app" yet they didn't ask about Motlop ???

I don't think most care what John Ralph's opinion is. He is less than 0.1 on the Terry Wallace scale.
I caught a bit of it. Ned Guy's colleague handles Motlop so not his direct manager. Didn't really deny he's on the trade table. He thinks that Geelong want to get back into the draft. Said something like Motlop will sit down with his manger this week. Nothing really concrete.
