    More on the Ottens saga

    The last thread was getting a bit long so thoughty I'd start a new one with this link to the latest in the "who will Ottens be playing for in 2005?" saga.

      Hmmmmmmmm

      I honestly smell a conspiracy scoop on this one. I'll let you all work it out for yourselves though.

      But I urge you not to post your ideas until after the trading period
      If u don't believe me, I will knock your bloody teeth out and not pay you a cent.

        If Ottens has nominated Geelong as his preferred club then there is no need for us to be all hot and sweaty over Richmond for a trade. All this will do is pump up the price.

        Just sit back and wait to see if Geelong can come up with the deal, if that does not go through then we put our deal on the table sometime at the end of trade week.

        Faced with losing him for nothing, watch the Tigers fold like a pack of cards.

          Ottens is bloody useless, i can believe we would even consider him.

          Done nothing in the past will do less in the future.

            I'm sorry but I totally disagree with you! Yes he has been injured and not playing to his potential over the past 18 months but heck he has shown that he is a potential champion!

            Remember he is only 24! He is NOT 29 and past it!

            Bring him to Sydney!

              "Potential Champion" my godfather you have to be kidding...my unraced 2 year old is also a potential champion.

              He is one of the reasons that Richmond is up the ****, takes a massive amount of money and doesnt put in.

                At least his stats are better than Saddo.

                  Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't believe Saddo wasn't a no.3 draft pick either.

                    I'm not good with double negatives - what do you mean here...?

                      Is there any point in comparing the Stats of Ottens, a no.3 draft pick who has not lived up to the potential, with Saddo who was not such a high pick and has less expectations placed upon him (apart from RWOers)

                      You can't expect me to be so lucid at this time of the week.

                        Saddington would be trade bait. I would be more than happy to trade Saddington and pick 15 for Ottens.

                        Sadds is great but not in the same league as Ottens.

                        Anycase doubtful he will come here anyway!
