glad your on the ball. i know its 99% bs, but we can always hope and speculate . half the fun! the other half is seeing the opposition's supporters go mental when their player is mentioned. the only annoying thing is people who post absolute 100% bs with not even a sceric of logic to it. if every trade went through that was posted here on big footy, not one club would have a player who played with them the last year on their list.

Crows ponder Watts offer

St Kilda has put in a strong offer for key position player Fergus Watts who quit the Adelaide Crows last month because he wants to return to Victoria.

The 20-year-old, picked up with the No.14 selection at the 2003 NAB AFL Draft, has played just five matches in two seasons with the Crows.

It is believed the Saints have offered their first round selection (No.17 overall) for the 196cm player who was drafted from the Sandringham Dragons.

Adelaide football operations John Reid said the Saints had been "quite reasonable" in talks on the opening day of the AFL's five-day trading period at Optus Oval.

"It's not far away. St Kilda has been reasonable about what they're doing. We just let the night pass and we'll make some decisions," Reid said.

Reid denied Adelaide had an interest in Carlton's disgruntled midfielder Scott Camporeale, however he confirmed the Crows wanted to pick up Daniel Motlop, who has quit the Kangaroos.

"That's been there (in discussions) but every man and his dog's there," Reid said of the strong interest in the talented forward from Arden Street.

Reid said he had not been made aware of any South Australians who wanted to return home during this year's exchange period.

"Not that we've been made aware of at this stage of the game, no."

push harder adelaide! its only day one!

Atleast were not interested in Campo!

 

[Stiffy_18]

I would think its more than pick 17. I was under the impression that we got offered pick 17 and rejected it

And we would have - so it is more than that

It is only speculation of course, but I doubt adelaide would be so close to signing on day one with pick 17, after originally chasing pick 6 or so??

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

If Reid is so confident that discussions are progressing well it looks like we will accept pick 17 and pick 33 then. Which in such a weak draft means we are accepting pick 17 and rubbish.

 

[Stiffy_18]

You are probably right.

I just can't see us settling on pick 17 when we drafted Watts with pick 14 in a stronger draft than this years. Watts hasn't gone backwards. In fact its arguable that he is ahead of schedule as far as his development is concerned.

We might accept that five minutes before the trade deadline but not 1st or second day of trading. I think its either their 2 picks or their first pick and a reasonable player.

 

[just maybe]

You have no idea about that. It all comes down to the recruiter and who he picks. It's just your post that's rubbish, really.

Not neccessarily.

Our record with latish picks is pretty good so I would expect us to pick up a pretty reasonable player with pick 33.

On the money with your thinking there

And we still might on trade a second round pick for a player - which also may be a reason for getting the Watts deal done early

 

[Stiffy_18]

True.

If Watts deal gets done tommorrow or the day after, it means that we either got what we wanted or we will on-trade those picks for a player that we are after. Most likely Daniel Motlop.

 

[The Rooch]

Do you think if say Collingwood, Essendon, Richmond, the Bulldogs or the Kangaroos offer the beast deal, that Fergus will accept it, if nothijng can be struck with St Kilda. Is he that stringent?

I dont think he is going to be that nitty gritty. He seemed to enjoy his time at the eagles, and gave his 100% commitment to them for the grand final. I doubt he is that against the AFC and their trade plans.

I think the AFC should be open to all offer's just cause the lil brat has requested St Kilda doesnt mean we only deal with St Kilda and get screwed.

 

[Crow-mosone]

I think this all very reassuring.

1. We don't seem unhappy with how discussions are progressing with St Kilda.
2. We have said clearly we want Motlop, so I would presume if it is possible in a reasonable manner than we might work something out.

I must say the amount of interest in Motlop is making me reconsider my 'meh' on the lad.

and a very good evening to you too psycho.
