I know there was considerable frustration on this site that we did not land some "big fish" over the trade period. Clearly for various reason, particularly the unfortunate Trengove revelation no one wanted to trade with us. I think the club showed sensible balance by say "ok we will get what we can by drafting the most mature elite players from the draft". This I believe will stand us in very good stead in future. Indeed from all that we read this year's draft elite, they are in fact elite hard heads and stand every chance of developing into A-graders, and in a short space of time. Let's say more Ollie Wines than jack Watts or Luke Molan.. Let's hope so.
The only sign of panic was in the last ten minutes when in my mind stupidly we spent 23 on Frost. Frost is no Bernie Vince. I think we could have done a lot better than that.
Overall though. I suspect we will look back on the 2014 trade period as the foundation of our next premiership......we are starting to see the team that Roosy built. I for one am impressed
