He did say "mature ruckman" but yeah, if they need back up for Mummy then Witts makes more sense than Minson. Will be sad to see him go but overall absolutely a fair price and someone we can afford to lose with the sub rule out and Cox emerging

Well next year, Witts will be turning 24 no? So he's basically 1 season (2 at most) from entering his "peak". I'd say he's a perfect fit for GWS and they know it. He's from Sydney so there's no risk of home sickness. They'll have Mummy for one more season which means Witts establishes himself as the number 1 right as he's entering his peak period.

Seems like Pick 7(8) plus Witts should get it done. maybe another lower pick (to satisfy their points requirement) at most. I'm ok with that.

edit. Yep just checked. Witts turns 23 on Sunday. So he'll be 24 when Mummy is finishing up. Timing is perfect for all this imo.

As long as they chuck in Hampton

Starting to get a clearer picture of the Treloar dealings.

Bucks was pretty clear Grundy/Witts was the future and would be persisted with.

Witts dropped all of a sudden.

Doesn't get back into the team.

Treloar announces his intentions, Caro believes a deal was done months before.

We are heavily linked to Kreuzer.

GWS say they require a bigger bodied ruck to support Mumford.

Says to me once we knew Witts would be part of the deal Bucks decided to go Grundy solo and see what our game plan would be without Witts.

Also Explains the large offer to Kreuzer.
 
Why does Picketts name keep coming up? Are we linked with him at all?

It's going to be a lot tougher finding a trade that suits GWS with just Treloar IMO let alone throwing in a player of Picketts quality. Can't see it happening
I think you will find it will be a package of Treloar plus a player such as Hampton who they need to release to free up their list. It is easier for them if they are resigned to losing Treloar, to trade both to us. In fact it might help the trade to go through if we agree to take Hampton. Pickett on the other hand is different unless there is something we don't know about him. Question is why would GWS trade Pickett?
 
Trelor by all reports is a great kid he wanted to move back to Melbourne but a lot had to do with his long time GF who is ready to start a career and wanted to do that back home
 
Pick 7, 3rd Round and Witts for Treloar and Finlayson.

This sounds about right. But maybe with a different player instead of Finlayson or no extra player at all?

Does pick 8 and our 3rd rounder meet their point requirements for academy kids? If so, then that will definitely be the deal.

It doesn't even go close to the points GWS need, they want to pick up 2 academy kids who are rated highly this year.

That's why we may get a second player out of them for relatively cheap, as they want draft picks desperately to build up those points.

Their first round picks (of 2015 and 2016), and our first and second round picks (and/or Witts) might start to get close to what they need.

Is there any truths about the malakies I'm hearing that carlton are interested in treloar and have a reasonable chance of securing his signature?

They are no chance. Why would anyone go there knowing its 3 to 5 years of not much, especially when they have already had 3 to 5 years of not much at GWS. The only way they could do a deal would be if GWS let him go into the PSD and that will not happen as we will offer as close to fair value as we can.

Carlton supporters still seem to think they are a power player, they are a nothing, an old skid mark on the toilet bowl.
 
I think hed consider carlton.. I know I wouldn't mind getting paid $750k a yr for 5 yrs to not do much and cheat my way through it like Murphy and gibbs. Easy money for f.. all work.

Maybe he'd consider Carlton because he was a die hard Carlton supporter before he was drafted and has a relationship with SOS already, but I doubt we could offer him the $$$ that he's been guaranteed by Collingwood.

Isn't the rumour that Treloar GF has landed a job with one of our sponsors? I don't think that is included in the numbers floating around for him . So on a whole 'our package deal ' easily outbids Carltons.
