On Laird himself... out of all the mid-career players on our list he's the least likely to become a liability later in his career I guess. But the thing is that it's difficult for any player to live up to a five year deal.
Seems to be a bit of an attitude of just get it done. Once we're swimming in premierships no one will care about a too-long deal or two. And if we don't win any flags then in five years someone else will be list manager/head of football and they can worry about it.
Need to look at each decision in isolation though. Is this a good idea for our club?
Not be swayed by 'noise':
Will he walk?
Can we afford another senior player to leave?
