If we could get him via a Richmond/Geelong trade and we sacrifice Williams then yes. |

Give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Given all of the tired, hacks and old players linked to us ... I think the words from the old statue is appropriate. |
I prefer the turn of phrase from Lou Reed:
"Give me your hungry, your tired your poor I'll piss on 'em
that's what the Statue of Bigotry says
Your poor huddled masses, let's club 'em to death
and get it over with and just dump 'em on the Bulletin Board"
Or lyrics to that effect...

If he did a varcoe, he would be a brilliant pick up.
If he stayed a soft, inconsistent flake, not so much.

No, pass, and especially if it'll cost us Williams. |

Are you joking! |
After his last couple of finals games, you couldn't give him away fast enough.

Jack Grimes delisted by Melbourne.
What happened there?
27 years old. Worth a look? Is he an upgrade on Frost? Or is he another Jordan Russell??

Ditto.

Definitely yes! Without a doubt if it only cost us Williams (would surely cost more).
We call for risk taking players with X-factor and skill and then balk at them for being "flaky". If you want a skilled, dangerous, consistent player with X-factor we'd need to give up more than we have in this trade period. Motlop has all of those except consistency and would be a very good pickup. The only slight hesitation would be broad similarity to Fasolo and Elliott.
The club needs to take into account attitude and "culture" fit, but as a player I'd be very happy for us to recruit him.

Ex captain too.
Pick 14 from 2007. The pick we traded to Brisbane to get Cameron Wood and was on traded for Travis Johnstone.
Had heaps of injuries. Not sure what his form has been like this year. Any watchers provide insight? |

Been exiled to Casey this year in the VFL.
Per game averaged 28.5 disposals, 6 tackles, 13.2 handpass recieves, 5.6 marks and 4 Inside 50s from 17 of a possible 21 VFL outings playing predominately as an outside/wing midfielder, where he was named in the bests (such as they are) 10 times. Missed only 1 game with illness, the rest either as a carry-over emergency or through recall to the AFL.
Turns 28 in mid-May next year, with 100 games of AFL experience to his name, to go with his previous co-captaincy at Melbourne. And if looking to add an extra wrinkle or two of age and experience into our list, he would probably come the cheapest as a Delisted Free Agent compared to guys like Mayne and Wells...

Under no circumstances is Steven Motlop worth more than a 4rd rounder.
