Agree, it's a reasonable trade. Although doubt we'd get 20 from Geel. Watts' been seriously damaged in value and that's on the high side of estimates. However Geel have their own issues with Menzel, good player, great skills, could take 33 and Menzel? Balances the deal with Crows better and nets a good player. Ok- Menzel is FA. Ignore the above. Still a good player that could fill a role Watts had. More relevantly- how amazing to be the BIG trade headline. Lever is a big fish. We've arrived.

I'm sure DC heard exactly what he said. The worst case scenario from corporate lawyers is rarely the actual worst case scenario. "Surprised at the outcome" is the most overused phrase and that's what the advice is actually designed for; the official line. All the top end, including PJ, would've made their own private judgements and expectations.

I'm with you O. It's also interesting to hear players and coaches talk more openly about Watts, he must be the biggest unknown of any player on our list. Everyone is tradable etc.. however Roos has a tendency to find players with untapped value rather than giving them away. I like him, especially last week, see how he goes today!
