Cheap Seats

I'm pretty sure (i cbf looking up the articles from his drsft year but from my fleeting memory im pretty sure the hun and age both did articles. The huns article was written by Grant Thomas I'm pretty sure ) but there is no doubt those comparisons were made between NR and JW, fact.

Surely with Watts going to Port we can bring back Toumpas #BBT

5,000 post is more important

Any actual news yet?

I never said they were the same player Fifty 5, All I'm saying is the potential is there. On that principle we should trade Weid for Josh Kennedy if we just want a better player without developing our own

It surprises me no one has asked him to build a tank Maybe that's the problem...Let's be honest the 3rd tall is dead in modern footy (well 2017). It's all about speed and pressure on the flanks and pockets. Watts doesn't have elite speed but he's not slow, and if he had a tank on a wing.... I would be excited

Why are we so excited about a flakey outside mid when we have watts alresdy

Makes more sense then the stuff I've seen in the JW thread. #lionsmegadeal

Technically Balic is a vic mid playing in wa. Hope that excites things for ya @SFebey

Agree but if no one wants to go to GC, my gut feel is picks. I hope GC play hard ball as well but they could also use the picks to chase another player. My assumption is Ablett is no.1 target fot cats. Hence why Wells said it would be hard to see Cats satisfying Dees. I'm just guessing from what I've heard

The Cats compensation will either be start of second round or end of second round, based on the rumoured contract to Motlop. Will be interesting what the cats do. I assume Cats will use that pick on Ablett not Watts

Juddy's Grandma hopefully

It is an interesting and worth ehile debate. In your opinion DS as a hypothetical. Which position this yesr looks better? Hawks or Saints. Hawks 'sold the farm' and Saints banked picks

Rumor only @McQueen Apparently tex and lever got in to a dust uo at half time. Tex got a black eye. Tex denied in his radio bit a couple days ago. Makes me like.lever more regardless of truth

Sorry mate, i misread the comment you replied to. I hope as well there is another little surprise

And u know that how??? Do you reckon that might be a reason he's been put up.for.trade? Or do we continue to just make [censored] up?

Im not sure what you've seen or heard but i heard Mahoney today say we were keen on Balic and they had nothing else in the works

I rekon this will get done. 3rd rd pick for this or next yr

Im happy we've got a known quality on our list for 2018 that is also widely tipped as a future star if not already considered to be. Rumour also is thst he belted tex in the rioms half time on gf day. Im happy to let the 'experts' debate the value of the trade, im hwppy for the following. The mfc have gotten the deal done. It builds a good reputation and the goodwill in thr afl circles and will bring in other wins in negotiations in the future. Draft picks are important but does anyone actually think those players drafted with 10 and say 14 in 2018 will win us games next year? I'm happy to go for the now. We dont need picks, we need players. How nice is it to finally be considered a contender and not a pretender.

Isn't the trend now for players to move to strong clubs via Free Agency? Paying overs for a good player doesn't worry me. Being a stromg club does. It's becoming a trend for players to leave clubs after 2 or 3 years now to chase success etc. Deaft picks are not as valuable anymore if you're good enough to supplement your list. Massive over reaction from a surprising source

Cleary needs more posts

The lever and watts deals will be holdong up.any other moves. Cant trade what you dont have

I might need to re listen to his interview but i think Connors comments were around clubs offering up players and then saying we'll only trade for x. Ie stringer and watts who are both managaes by Paul.

Makes as much sense as most of thr recent rumours getting around

You need to give your comments some context Bobby if the decision to trade Watts was signed off by the leadership group - where's your evidence their peers are upset?
