also...with any exchange of whatever...you might get change..there might be additional players or picks.. So many permutations.
and yet some see it as just this for that. Its about the big picture....also called the list.
if hes going...best he be gone...so to speak. Then you can concentrate on your new line ups and structures...NOW..why wait...a Premiership awaits laddy !!
At the same time pragmatism must surely enter this fray. There is much to do during the circus visit and you dont want to finesse it tooo much for fear of missing a bus or two. I have every faith we'll get whats reasonable.. More the point I have faith we'll get the players we're targeting. Thats all that really matters...the numbers attached to picks is all but irrelevant to us
Thought Jones handled himself quite well. Between a rock and a hard place as to how to answer that but he played a deft bat imho.
Really...what else was he going to say.
Well done Chunk.
Love it when the last train to Clarkesville suddenly becomes the 5.15 to Upfield !!
I commend that discussion has embraced the wotif factor but surely the only scenario that holds any water is that he goes back to the western coast . Otherwise...why is he leaving ? Granted ....you can be mercenary anywhere but I truly dont think thats his motive so much as the icing on an idea he's harboured for some time.
meanwhile...Flinders St !!! all change
The trick is to be in the Big Dance...they are ...we aint.
In reality it's irrelevant to us who THEY played..or beat to get there. We just need to beat who WE play
The "Bell" factor is actually quite interesting. It will change things a bit. How ? who knows ,only he will bring a different agenda most likely to his clubs's table.
One year contract yells "cant let everyone go in one season"...need someone to play in the VFL and provide options ( some depth )
If he has anything more to show...nows the time.
Or maybe they don't. That's just pizzing money against a wall surely. We're going to have enough lockers to fill surely .
He's probably been told to have a good look around.
A 3rd will probably do it.
There's the trap of many always referencing that draft # . Means nothing after they're on a list.
Only as good as last season/ last game etc.
He must be seen as a bit of a punt/project. If he comes good and improves and garners consistency. Bargain.
If not...no biggee . I thought at the time ( years back ) he had a bit of verve. Maybe club wants to tap into that.
A roll of the dice.
