Cheap Seats

It's a new fad

I heard he was sitting on the dees table

100% Agree Worst kept secret ever - let's hope GC don't just let him go, otherwise it's making a mockery of the "System'"

All good mate. I probs shouldn't have quoted u in the second part re trading watts Ahh wells live and learn

Pass Just let the pies have them all. They can be the new Dees Would readily trade watts and 10 for 6 and 23ish Which we could then package up.for Lever

Must be why there is none this year. Hasn't been solved yet

With the risk of turning this thread in to a JW thread...... I have to disagree... First off i would llke to clarify i am not a Jack basher, im just calling it as i see it. Jack is a super talented outside player. Im also not saying he has to or should be traded. I believe now Jacks problems are jacks alone. I dont buy these excuses anymore. Jack needs to take responsibility for Jack. There is no argument this clus has been a massive basket case. But Jack has now had some of the leagues best development coaches for the last 3 to 4 years. Nathan Joness career didnt dwindle at this club (i acknowledge these are 2 very different players) but i really feel now its a bit of a cop out. You also talk about his finishing, and i strongly agrree, but it takes a team effort.to win a game, not 1 play from.Jack Watts. Let's not sell snake oil here. Fleeting in and out of games is not necessarily a solid.contribution. My understanding is the team philosphy is no passengers, i think jack needs to ask himself if he's a passanger or a contributor under the standards set down by the leadership group. It's really now up to jack. If he feels (or the club feels) he can't meet the requirements, then he shoild go. If he can biy in to the standards set by his peers I'm happy for him to stay. But no more excuses. The current reports in the media dont paint a great picture. Maybe just maybe Jack needs a wake up call

All good mate Im not mad either.... i just dont think it needs to be pointed out in a rumour thread More rumours needed.... In other threads @Wiseblood i 100% agree. But let's just leave it uncomplicated and just good or bad rumours

@Wiseblood haha cmon mate. I like your.contributions but not for this thread. Maybe you need a holiday mate if you're going to get upset by rumors. Fake or not it's just a rumor or movement hypothetical Trade thread needs more.rumors and less people getting upset by said rumors Ps - there's nothijg wrong with cslling out a rumor as bs... but it's just a rumor ffs we donr need truth police

Who needs tv when you jave Demonland drama

Agree @A F I dont know details all i know is criws have cap issues and had to re-sign a few. It's great news for us

Crows have cap issues. They'd be pushing the loyalty and take less play in a good team factor... Probably offered a couple years with the promise of his next contact to be more substantial. We obviously also rate him enough to pay to get him out of adelaide

I agree I didn't mind what I saw from Smith when he played. It's a shame he got so badly injured in rd 5 and we didn't see him again this year. I am not saying he is a saviour but, he's a big boy and looked like he could contribute now

I am assuming everyone is upset because the assumption on here is Jack Watts is being traded against his will.... I am not specifically commenting to anyone @binman - just general conversation

I agree with your point @McQueen What I am saying is they don't really have any assets to trade. It will make a mockery of the system if the manage to land even half of those players mentioned with only - 1 x 2018 1st rd pick and some B Grade players (Motlop, Menzel, Lang etc). And I say it's a joke because they won't trade Danga, Selwood, Hawkins. The rest of their stars are too old and their younger blokes aren't anywhere near as good of quality as the players they are targeting. If those players mentioned were Unrestricted Free Agents (or FAs for short - not being restricted), I would understand. But like I said, Geelong have no trade assets available. It would seriously make a mockery of the system if they were to land them with what they have to offer. But back to your point, I agree totally, if we can land good young players and give up virtually nothing.... I am all for it. But it shouldn't happen like that

Why is there an assumption Watts hasn't agreed to be traded? Edit: I'm not saying any specific trade is agreed to

Jake Lever? But I agree with the sentiment BB

or... There is actually something to it.... There is a lot of water to still pass under the bridge but these decisions are not usually spare of the moment decisions. It's up to the club and Jack/player anyway - there is no point worrying about it

This is the same idiot who was certain Lever was off to Pies for a few weeks..... But in fairness he does get good mail

They'll need to trade some serious assets if the cats expect to land Devon Smith, Rockliff, SOG and Stinger all in this offseason They only have 2018 picks?? 1 2018 first round pick to land all of those players... And Fatlop (who didin't have a bad game last night) and some other B graders won't get 1st round picks It's going to be interesting but what a joke if they pull them all off....

Coniglio. Not sure we need him but he's a gun. Would love to get

Giibs to crows and lever to deed does make a lot of sense though. It all comes down to the blues now...

Is it connolly on sen now? Anyway he's saying Gibbs hasn't requested a trade. Australian saying gibbs has requested a trade.... haha gotta love this time of year.
