I don't want Thomas either!
Mackenzie - Just delisted, agreed GC didn't want him any longer.
Watts - As noted, Melbourne couldn't get him out he door quick enough, maybe they're finally getting their house in order.
Rockliff - I'd say it was him not wanting Brisbane more than Brisbane not wanting him. They're not in a position to lose a two time BnF, 1 x AA, former captain who averages 26 touches and 6 tackles a game.
Any truth to the rumour that Rockliff was a bad influence at Brisbane and was pretty much a massive jerk?

Reasonable punt in my opinion. I think the kid can play a bit and it worth tbe risk especially if its only.a rookie spot.Brodlach wrote:Hearing Sam Collins will be rookied by the Crows if available

Would love for us to pick up Ryan. Massive highlights reel, I reckon he would elevate in a professional system.

Was told earlier in the season that we had committed to picking him up. Hopefully squeezes out the thought of picking up Thomas

LHe has a contract offer from Essendon, but it appears Merrett is more interested in moving to the Power.

Do you have any concerns if you pick up Thomas and MacKenzie that 4 of your 5 recruits have come from very low ranked teams that some of these teams didn’t want these players?
In a word, no.
Both Geelong and Brisbane had the chance to match the offers for Motlop and Rockliff respectively and both were courted, seriously courted, by other clubs so I reckon of the 5 (?) those two are not part of the question you have asked, so to say they "didn't want" them is incorrect, IMO, I'd say they wanted them but weren't prepared to want them more than Port did. I've got no concerns about either of these coming on board. I think they both make us better.
Melbourne finished the season less than 1% outside the 8 so I'm not sure if you consider them a low ranked side, having said that the whole Watts / Goodwin relationship seems to be an interesting one and given the commentary around Watts in the days since in regards to his attitude and application bother me a little. I've got reservations about this deal, I'll have to back Hinkley and the boys to get the best out of him.
Mackenzie I'd take as he'd be cheap and I think we need back up in that area as noted above.
Thomas, I'll be ******* livid if we take him.

Possibly.. However he could also be wearing a Norm Smith medal around his neck. That's what's so exciting - he has so much X Factor and unpredictability personally, I'm wrapt!
