Dam right we should be, Just what we are looking for. A gun midfielder.
I wonder if we will make the call?

The call will be made, it just depends on how much we are willing to spend. In my opinion throw just about everything at him! He is exactly what we need! I think who we chose as coach will influence it a little as well. Williams and Martin package deal? Btw anyone know if we still have to trade for him?

From an earlier Facebook quote (if it is to be believed)
Some Random Facebook Quote said:
Unless he walks to psd- not beyond Martin - it would still cost a lot. Minimum pick 6 .

If anything we should be thinking strongly about it. Add him to our midfield and we look a lot better.
Would cost pick 6.

Barra in his chat on the West is saying WCE have met with Martins management...would only like him here if it does not cost us our first round pick. I think he a high risk high reward sort of player..i mean he would the player that could be elite at WCE but being if Perth i have feeling he could much a lot more.
This suggests to me there is some truth to the rumours that were going around in the preseason. Clearly clubs view him as a risk and fair enough.

He isn't a free agent so we would need to trade for him. If he nominated us perhaps a deal could be worked out and we can keep pick 6. Otherwise the teams below us are in a better position.
Definitely makes things interesting.
Not worth the risk IMO.
Would be too high a price both trade and cost wise too.

There is still a lot of red flags about the guy. There was an article on the main board about how Scott Watters told his players not to go on an end of season trip with him.
I was hoping all last week, even posted trade scenarios on the tigers board.
Too scared to go over there now but there were some interesting rumors last week that made it seem possible even though more likely not probable.
Crappy facebook rumors
6PR sightings
Burns shortening on Coach
Ralph Clark stating we were not after Conca
Dusty not signing
Now that we know he won't be returning to tigerland, i truly hope we had something to do with it. Not because i wish misery upon the tigers but because it would show we have been aggressive going after what we need and want regardless of where they grew up.
Get it done West Coast.

Massive upside and that upside would be worth pick 6 IMO.
BUT........ has also proved in the past that he has the ability to be a liability with his off-field antics (something we really don't need)
Therefore his risk added to the upside means pick 6 would be overs. Our 2nd rounder plus a player richmond would be interested in, a Rosa, Shepard, Smith or another 25-75 gamer.
Personally I think if he keeps his sh#$ together he could be the player we are looking for.

From a cost point or off the field point?
If he costs us 600k a year and our first pick + something else he better start playing more than a half of footy. On-field he is exactly the type we need in our midfield, he seems like a time-bomb off field though.

Pick 6 for Martin in a heart beat. He'd be out of his bikie bubble so hopefully that keep hims focused. With all the retirements I think we should throw a big figure his way.
No, don't need another Ben Cousins running around here, more than likely more trouble than he's worth
