why do we want him....a player who has been in the system for 9 years and seemingly never taken any accountability for his performances...imagine he was already a swan with that record....it's not hard to. This is a player who ain't getting any better and if anyone goes for that i50 crap....seriously...Watts is going to bust who ever gets him.....if you are struggling to get games at Melbourne....and they don't want you, what does it tell you. Watts is a really big case of Buyer beware

Didn't we have a "confirmed" thread and a "hypothetical" thread last year?
This is the Hypothetical thread (obviously reading some of what's in here...) - So yeah, a "confirmed" thread would be good.
It's just nothing has been confirmed yet....

As we do every year, we will create a new thread for any signings once they happen.
There is nothing happening beyond hypotheticals at this point, so this thread is all we need

Wonder if watts will come back knocking if port are not offering what he thought they would
If port ain't offering it then there's no chance we would beable to offer it

Maybe but it was his first games of footy in five years, I think he deserves to be cut some slack if he's a bit rusty.

Youngest player to ever play at SANFL level and performed very very well. Was actually a leading contender for a top 3 selection but slid in the draft.

I know this is 100% hypothetical, and it is probably a horrible idea, but is this kind of trade legal:
Geelong In: Ablett
GC In: Tippett
Basically with this trade, we are using Geelong to subsidise Tippets large salary so that we can get rid of him. This is because it has been reported that GC want Geelong to pay some/all of the salary of the player traded in. So essentially, GC will be paying tippet about what he is worth, with Geelong stumping up the rest of the cash to meet Tippets contract obligations.
Note: The reason that it may not be legal is because technically the Swans don't get anything. Maybe, some late pick Swaps and/or if Dew wants one of our fringe players that could be added in.

I honestly don’t think Geelong want anything to do with Tippett, so I can’t see that happening

Geelong need something to get Ablett. GC want $$ of the player they get paid due to the front loading of the Ablett deal. Its logical for them as they get Ablett for free, with a bit of a salary cap hit which will happen regardless.
Edit: It would be more would GC want Tippet???
