Have just looked up his stats. Very poor. There is no way Collingwood will pick him. 32 year old.

That's not really bad... 6x18 clubs = 106... Seems decent for 12th placed club

He had a year left on his contract and was not prepared to be traded.
Yeah, I suppose if you put it that way. Good point!

It's been reported that they can't agree on one, rather than that they won't offer him one.
Correct! This really put a spanner in the works last year methinks...

Would be tough. Any contract with Wells surely you'd make performance based given his injury history.
We could pay top dollar for a guy who comes in and wins the B&F but on the flip side could play just a handful of games for us.

That was a Few Days Ago so as Usual there are about 3-4 Different Rumors about the Same Thing
Stats from when? He played very very good footy this year.

I think Wells is well worth the risk of throwing a few $$'s at.
Looking at the free agency list http://www.afl.com.au/trade/free-agency, he is clearly the best available mid.
No picks required to attain him, just risking salary cap (that we may not have spent anyway).
A fit Wells (its a risk, I know) undoubtably makes us a better team in 2017 IMO.

Agree. Wells at his Best does make us a better team BUT at 31 how many good games has he got left in the Tank? That is my Worry
If he has a 2 year offer from Norf for $1.1m then I guess he won't be coming to us.... We wouldn't be that stupid!

Also, FWIW I think Mayne would be an Ok pick up.
He's arguably the best key(ish) forward on the free agency list. Vickery is the other who has claims.
As long as he isn't on too much cash, and his guaranteed contract length isn't too long.

Are we linked to anyone good/under 30 yet?
Wells is a quality player mind, if his level wasn't to drop next season and he stayed fit he makes us a better team for sure.
But at 31/32, both those questions aren't easy to answer.

That's the million dollar question.
Played 19 games this year and I expect he'll finish reasonably high up in the B&F.
Quick, excellent user of the ball.

Are we trying to rort the FA compo system in reverse? Offer big contracts to Mayne and Wells (which their current teams won't match) to trigger decent compo for them for rebuilds. They then look after us on another deal. Ie: North drop their interest in RFA Brown or pay us overs for a Marley type?

I'd love to hear why? I can't see that he offers anything, and certainly not 500k a season?!?

It also doesn't include the likes of Howe and Reid who are no doubt higher quality than NDS. Given its over a two year rolling period it only paints a portion of the picture for experienced players.
Take Wells for instance he didn't play at all last year so his ranking would have started 2016 in the 300's.
Wells is an absolute star and the best player we've been linked to so far - would be stoked if we got him. The only problem seems to be hit fitness levels and stamina, as he played a ridiculously low % of games this year, most in the mid 70's as well as a 68%, 66% and a 54%.
