Not sure if there has been a thread on Motlop. Just wondering what everyone's thoughts were on picking him up? Will be 29 next year, so could possible provide us with 3 to 4 years of service (atleast) due to the fact his played most of his footy as a permanent forward. I think he would mix in well with our forward line, but the quesiton is would pick 32 be to much to offer bearing in mind our current position.

We do not need anymore crumbing forwards. Petterd, Wonna, Jurrah, alongside Green and Watts. The ideal player we need is a tall that can slot down forward and take a grab like Jamar. That way, the likes of Jurrah and Wonna don't need to go up for the mark, and they crumb. Another crumbing forward would clog up the forward line.

I think we had his brother 4/5 years back whom went ok- don't want this one- would not get a game in our team as it stands IMO..

His best is up there with the very best players, his consistancy is a worry.

I dont wont him and we wont go after him, but he would get a game at ANY club no worries

Agree.

He's better than Wonaeamirri, his best is better than Petterd's best (though I'd prefer Petterd) and he has the skills to match Jurrah.

He'd get a game in most teams.

Do not want though.

Amazing that you could get him on the cheap these days. One of the most talented players in the AFL. I'd take him for a late draft pick. Only prob is the guy has too many issues to be an AFL footballer anymore.

You're setting the bar pretty low if you think Shannon Motlop "went ok". He played a handful of good games but was mostly either rubbish, or playing in the VFL.

Not interested in Daniel either. Fantastic player at his best, but I get the feeling the headache of having him would outweigh the on-field benefit. No d-head rule anyone?

He want's to go home to WA anyway. But it would be no if wanted to come the the way.

Edit: wants not wasn't - I was thinking he wasn't coming to Vic.

Shannon was a punt following the tragic death of Troy Broadridge but was a failure.

Daniel is highly talented, lazy and poor defensively, temperamental and high maintenance off the ground.

At 29, surely there are better options for MFC.

Melbourne were after Hale because he could create a contest deep in our forward 50, bring the ball to ground and let our small crumbing forwards to the goal snapping.

i.e Petterd, Wonna, Jurrah, Bennell, etc

We do not need another small forward

i agreee that his better than Wona and petterd so thats why I reckon if we could get him cheapily it would be worth the punt. Imagine Jurrah,Green,Motlop,Watts,Petterd and Wona down there together. All capable of kicking a bag on their given day

Wasn't even a punt. The AFL gave us a list of "replacements" due to the circumstances, and Shannon was the best of a bad lot.

Daniel is a freak, his consistency is a concern. At best he is unstoppable, but we don't get to see it that often.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date.
