2017 Off-Season

[quote="MW"]If he gets his head right, he could be anything. 17 clubs should be lining up for his services.

9 clubs
Will not leave Victoria, already confirmed by his manager

Which could just as easily mean "if some idiot wants to pay him $1mil per season he'll start packing now"

Won't leave his kids behind no matter the $$$

Judging by how quickly he left his family after his 2nd was born, he has no qualms about leaving his kids behind[/quote]
He still sees his kids almost daily, big difference between that and moving interstate. Moot point anyway as his manager has stated that it's Victoria only and he will get plenty of very good offers from those clubs

Reports that the Crows met with Clayton Oliver today and that he is open to a move to Adelaide as part of any Lever deal

Not a bad deal.

Sounds more like a Facebook rumour.
It would be Melbourne wanting Lever and a first rounder for Oliver!

Turn it up

So do unaccountable third defenders

Clearly not if teams are going to offer $900k

Mayne and Vickery got $500k plus.
Stringer will get $800-900k.
North were offering $1.8m for Dusty
Clubs have plenty of money to splash and will pay overs to get their man

[gadj1976]

JAKE Stringer says he felt "shock" and "upset" at being placed on the trade table by the Western Bulldogs, a decision that blindsided him after an exit interview with club officials he thought had gone well.

Not sure why he would be shocked after an exit interview!

Because all was fine at the exit interview. The Dogs called Jake and his manager a few days later and told him of their decision so it was never face to face

Thats piss weak is Beveridge didn;t speak to him direct, Id like to hear their side of the story.

He didn't with Tahlia either.

Crows would be trying to talk to every half decent young player they have. But this sounds like rubbish to me

[Brodlach]

Gary Ablett officially requests a trade back to Geelong

[stan]

The gold coast have stated that to achieve this certain conditions have to be met.

So what I read is that the gold will ask for plenty for him. Honestly if they get offered a 2nd rounder they should take it. Hes 34 year old, injury prone and his best years are behind him.

[Brodlach]

Problem is that is contract was paid mostly in his first few seasons apparently so some money needs to be paid too. Player will need to go and be paid by the Cats

[Dutchy]

Draft pick wont be the problem, it will be how much cap space Cats have/or want to use up on him, Id say very little.

[Booney]

Ah Chee Port > Gold Coast, Ablett Gold Coast > Geelong, Motlop Geelong > Port.

Gold Coast save some cash by getting Ablett off the books, Geelong pay Ablett what Motlop was getting with Gold Coast adding some on top, Port get Motlop.

Probably late pick thrown in somewhere for good measure.

Easy.

[Brodlach]

So Port give up Ah Chee and get Motlop. Seems equal

Ah Chee wants to get to the Gold Coast, Ablett wants to get to the Cats, Motlop wants to be at Port ( if all the "rumors" are true ), so Port probably throw in a 2nd rounder to GC too.

You didn't say Port would be the team to throw in a late pick but that still is a crap trade and benefits Port way too much

Second rounder maybe but I wouldn't call a pick in the 20's a late pick
