Trade rumours

[CityDee 738]

Reckon if Watts choses to go we go for a young ish player and maybe a shuffling of picks to get it done and land a Zac Jones type . 

We should not trade watts imo but if so it better be a good trade .

Revelation is overstating it.  I don't mind him, but he's a foot soldier, and replaceable.

Ok maybe not a revelation - but he's shown more improvement this year than most on our list. Great asset, shouldn't be anywhere near trade talk at this stage IMO

If the Cats want Watts I would be asking for Jake Kolodjashinij or Pick 20.

Kolodjashnij is a risk. He's got good skills and moves well but is still panicky under pressure and prone to momentum killers. We've got enough of those is Harmes, Bugg etc. would need to be confident that we can work that out of his game

Because he is expendable and to make us better we need to offer up players that clubs may have some interest in.  I think ANB is being mentioned to help the Lever Deal if needed.  Make no mistake the reason why Watts is looking for a new home is he has some trade value.

It would be the absolute heist of the year of Macrae asked to be traded to us.  I can't see it happening though.  If his problem is with "bad eggs" at the Bulldogs, their management would let the lot of them go (Stringer, Biggs and whoever else) before they let Macrae walk.  

It's a nice dream though.

"Whoever else" would be Libba.

Despite his immense value to the team when he's playing well, my Bulldog mates here out west tell me that the clud would be open to moving him on.

And apart from JV, I can't think of any other player who so much epitomises Goody's ideal type. He'd be the closest thing to having two Jack Vineys.

Good to see that you & Jimi are getting used to the fact that he's gone.

Watts for Libba?

Libba back to his best is a machine...

Needs a change of clubs like Jack.

Win/Win

Yep.  It'd be pointless if we traded out Watts for "standards" reasons, then brought in another player who is on the outer of his club for other off-field reasons.

Melbourne is in a development state where culture and standards are still being set.  It's the wrong time to be bringing in players who could negatively influence the culture, so I'd be surprised if we were at all interested in any of the troubled dogs, no matter how good they are at football.

Libba is his own worst enemy. Amazing player when on song, problem is his song of choice is hazy:

 Menzel.  Blicvacs or whatever.  Stanley. 

No  no no

Ffs. Watts is 10x a better player.

of course Dangerfield would welcome a classy tall forward. Cats can get stuffed.

Be ready to be surprised. If we are at all interested - information is gold. The real secondary target is elsewhere.

that's a fair point, but i don't rate libba that much. he's too much a ducker and chucker

Sam Collins from fremantle has been delisted. I'd be keen on him.

Are we still "up to our necks" in the Stringer trade?

Not a good sign being delisted from the dorkers- smacks of being NQR.

Its making me sick thinking about that Im filthy really if it goes south Im considering how I make my feelings felt - we were a dysfunctional club - messiah number 1 pick given games before others when not ready we all know the story every other club wants him what the hell are we doing .

Then look him up on tinder/grinder

[Left Field 313]

Does this work?

We trade pick 10 to Adelaide, Watts to Geelong and Daniel Motlop goes to Adelaide?

Obviously with Lever coming to the Dees.

Or is that big overs?
