What are your thoughts?

That website is a rubbish rumour site. No cred.

I would prefer to keep him.

Despite his frustrating stretches of poor form he seems to encounter each season, he can be a match winner on his day and you can never have enough of those type of players. I reckon he's hitting form just in time for September too.

But if the price is right and he wants to move, I'd like close to a first rounder and a decent player in return. He's been borderline All-Australian in the past. If Hawthorn can get a first rounder for a spud like Jed Anderson, then we should have no issue asking for something similar for a much better, proven performer.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He would only be traded if he told the club he is adamant on leaving as an FA next year, which i cant see happening.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Only if he wants out. We willingly trade him and I'll be peeved.

It was mentioned on SEN this morning, not the website making up stories. Im interested to know how the story got legs as its strange timing heading into the finals, is it a story to put the cats off there game..who knows, one thing I do know is that he was very close to leaving last year so maybe the Tigers might take another punt on him, swap for Delidio and picks?

Heard Brett Anderson on SEN today mention that we'd be happy to deal if the offer was right.

Brett Anderson though has some credibility I would have thought. I get the feeling there may be a little more to this than baseless innuendo.

 

[HaroLad]

Straight swap for Freos first rounder?

Maybe Geelong has put it out there themselves to try to put a rocket up him?

After a best on ground performance?

Guess we will never know but its possible.

Good time to do it, might have more currency.

Would not trade, unless he told the club he wanted out and we received in return:

a) a top 10 pick
b) o'meara
c) Prestia + sweatner

Motlop is seriously in our top 5 or 6 players, is unique in his skill set - we don't have anyone else like him. Top 3 on talent.

And.. a bad patch of about 8 or 9 games mid year this year changes ZERO for mine.

Only nuffies with no football IQ would consider throwing one of our best most talented players away who is in their prime and expected to improve further.

NO DEAL

 

[Mr Meow]

We do need to get the best out of him. We shouldn't give up on him though. He'd be bloody hard to replace.

Brett Anderson mentioned on SEN today that we would be happy to deal if the right offer came about.

What are your thoughts?

He did NOT say that.

He said he'd love him at his club.
Said every player is trade able at the right price.

He used Fyfe as an example. If a club put up 3 low 1st round picks then freo would trade him.

It was water cooler talk.

Bullshit.

 

[GFrost]

Hardly surprising. If presented with a great offer we'd look at it. If not, tell him not to turn up fat next January.

 

[Grimoz]

Bullshit.

"My understanding is if an offer comes up (for Motlop) they'd be more than happy to trade him," Brett Anderson told SEN radio on Friday afternoon.

Whats bullshit about that?

I'll pull up the audio.

All Anderson said was he has been surprised motlops name had come up for 2 years now.
He had no clue.

Ok i'll take your word for it

Sen website is now built by a 9 year old. Can't find it.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

There is so much football and sports media these days that most of the trade talk has less merit than what gets said on big footy.

Hahaha, i very much doubt the club would let him leave given he just signed a contract extension but if there is a hint of truth to it I think we would be stupid to not look at any offers considering guys like Fyfe, Prestia and to a lesser extent O'Meara seem to be on the market.

SEN ran with it today.
