Massively talented, but massively injury prone.

To be asking for a pay rise with his body is a bit rich imo. Maybe he's trying to force a move to the GC where they'd pay him 2 mil a year to sit up in the stands twiddling his thumbs all season.

I like the look of a few kids at pick 12 that could play the role he does..

Too early for us to be doin this sort of trade. Next year or the year after would be better for us to do a major trade.

If you saw Tim Harringtons whiteboard Wednesday a few weeks back you'd understand why. For the next year or two we are creating a massive gap in our salary cap that we can use to net a big fish. The longer we wait, the more we'll have to throw at said fish.

The other bonus of waiting is we'll have a better understanding of the gaps on our list that need filling after the kids have matured a bit.

I agree. I think we can address our need for a creative defender through the draft...

Drummond is just too injury prone and too expensive imo.

Pretty spot on. Although its always exciting getting a 'big fish', we are probably 1 or 2 seasons too early for this.

We are probably better off making finals once of twice, then see a gap in our list that we need to take us to a premiership and go hard.

This is what Collingwood did with Darren Jolly and Luke Ball, and it has been a huge success for them. At this point in time, we are still speculating a lot of what positions are set and who will make it and who won't. In 2 years time the picture will be much clearer
