You’re always learning about guys whether they’re signed or not. Using the fact that someone has a contract at the club as a reason to not pick someone is quite a novel one. I only wished they’d used your reasoning and never picked Menzie after re-signing him. That sugar hit tasted more like bin juice.
Tsatas finished the year strongly with good progress on kicking and dominating VFL. I think a strong way to hit 2025 with positive feelings. Worst thing would’ve been he plays seniors, he gets swallowed up with pressure and ends year flat. I’m ok with him not playing.
Re others, he’s gone with experience and clearly wants as competitive a result as possible. Doesn’t want a flogging with kids manhandled. Play experience and hope they play competitively to end year head as high as possible under circumstances.
