Yes.
Yes it isn’t.

I didn’t say he was a geriatric 28yo, I just think Shiel fits the age profile (and longevity) a bit more.

That was Best Defensive Mini Clubman

Scully will easily play to 34 IMO, Similar body type to Kade Simpson.

“Foxfooty.com.au senior reporter Tom Morris said there was ongoing “noise” regarding Scully’s future, with the running midfielder linked to Essendon and Hawthorn.”

‘noise’ = Blitz.

Yep, would not disagree with you there. I’m just saying that 28 isn’t all THAT old either. If his leg is fine, I don’t see why he couldn’t play for another 4 years at least (which will take us to the end of Hooker / Hurley era).

A broken leg is waaaay better than and ACL. Once healed they’re back to full strength.

Continuing the discussion from Trade Targets - We’re gonna need a bigger boat for the wave pool!:

Never in doubt.

Im feeling the best we can hope for is Martin/Scully and Setterfield.

With a very cheap Tyson as a possibility.

Debatable. Depends upon the break. Some broken legs can never be fully recovered from.

I can think of several cases. Nathan Brown was never as good after his break.

The best we can hope for?? I’d take Setterfield and Martin over Shiel.

What you mentioned above would be insane!

Who was the drongo who swore he was coming to us? Did he bet his Blitz account on it?

Haha, oh ■■■■ he did too!

There’s always exceptions yes. But i think if a player had to choose they’d go the break over the knee.

While I would be a little nervous I would prefer S and M rather than the D as well…

Jamie Lawson for Sydney was a shocker.
