Fair call…
Stringer I can live without although if he stays its 12 months only. But rather have him about but prioritise and progress a different forwardline setup without him week to week.
Lav is depth but forced to play week in week out this season gone. And yes he was poor in some games but don’t ignore the lack of team defending in front of him as the season wore on. As long as Ridley and Reid stay on the park he’s ideally only a seasoned experienced 3rd tall replacement next year. But if he goes we need backup as Hayes will need a bit of time … so if no defensive trades incoming we’re too light on up back.
If it’s true, we have told him to look elsewhere. You take what you can get in that situation. You don’t push players out if the club and then play hardball.
Everyone is so gullible lol. These ‘rumours’ come from his player manager who is trying to get his player the best deal possible. As simple as that, its quite literally their job to ink out as much money as possible and one way to do that is by putting pressure on their current workplace by giving out rumours of interest from other clubs through the media.
Yeah
He’s a victim of Scott’s crazy‘game plan’ that puts our defence under undue pressure
In another team with a proper coach and a workable game plan he’ll thrive
And you’ll all be asking who was responsible for letting him go
Scott’s the AFL plant to drag our club into irrelevance he’s the one we should be getting rid of before he does any more damage
I don’t follow the draft close enough to know what the quality is like in the 3rd or 4th round. I think we should just try and make smart deals full stop. The “just sign them” or “just trade them away” approach adds up. Small mistakes or concessions can end up hurting down the line particularly if we do it multiple times over. Always get the best value you can.
That’s what i was answering. Pick 24 might be used by the bid, then we’d get to use our pick 28 in the draft. Say he gets bid on at around 18 (he’s injured and not playing footy before the draft, so it’s likely he slides a few spots), then 24 would basically cover Kako with the 20% point discount.
