If melbourne was so bad at picking talent, then how bad must GWS be, and paying $6M to boot
GWS had a lot more opportunity to gauge T$'s ability than melbourne had
And don't forget they made their offer at the end of his first season, not his second, so he would be a bit tuned off with melbourne's development in his second year
This is not to defend melbourne's development record, but in T$'s case i don't think it is very relevant
