That's all well and good, but why slag off a young player who's just making his way in the game. Would you have made the same comment if he chose Melbourne?

 

 

yep, sure would have.

 

he's unproven, has had severe injury issues, is not the ideal size for a modern key defender, and the blues are going to be giving up pick 5 and getting marchbank and something else back (such as a later pick of another player, such as palmer).

 

i don't think marchbank is worth anything like that.

 

it's an opinion. i didn't "slag him off" i stated something "in my view".

You compared him to Jaksch. That's not a compliment.

The talk is that Carlton will trade next years' 1st rounder for him because GWS don't need more picks this year.

yes, because he's an unproven key defender who has proved zip thus far due to injury and not being a good size match-up for talls and smalls.

 

that's not what multiple reports are saying, which is that gw$ want pick 5 and they give marchbank 'plus something else'.

But that is the thing with picks too, is that you get more unproven players.......
