If we all agreed with this and hailed you a trading genius would you shut up and never post a trade suggestion again?
90% of our problems are in the midfield, I've merely suggesting ways to fix this without hurting our overall structure.
I'd like you to get on board. You keep arguing what happens if Goldy or H goes down,suggesting we are screwed.... well guess what, it happened this year and we were the best we've been this milenium.
Hamish is sooooo overrated on these boards by some pretty reasonable North people, it's not funny. He is a terrible mark, terrible centre square ruckman with minimal presence and lets face it, one decent injury away from retirement.
This isn't a new hobby horse for me, check back to this time last year and I was all over him being moved on then.
I'm sorry that you can't see the silver lining of getting in a Caddy or a Wellingham or even a Goddard but I can, 1. Essendon doesn't get them 2. We get to sort out the very same issue you have been banging on about for 12 months. EXPERIENCED BIGGER BODIES in the midfield. People capable of being defensive at stoppages with an ability to hurt going the other way. I'm staggered that you can't see where i'm coming from nor the reason's behind such a radical recruitment strategy.
I also don't want to overpay, and would be just as happy to go back to the draft where we've had recent success. But this is our last chance to trade Hamish before he goes for
nothing as a FA next year.
Just go with it HTB, 9th, 9th, 8th & smacked in a final is improvement but i'm looking for a little bit more whilst Petrie, Harvey & Wells are still a factor.
