I don't get it, why trade for something we likely don't need? What would you trade for McCarthy?
Trade picks in 3 way deal for a player that GWS needs i.e a ruckman from another club perhaps.
You can't pigeonhole a player and say because he is currently a forward, well we dont need another key forward. Probably not a great list management strategy especially when McCarthy has had reasonable success at fullback also last season as a skinny kid.
How many of our other KPP can play both back and forward with reasonable success aside from GOV?
Our midfield creamed the Hawks only 3 weeks ago, minus 2 starting midfielders so there is an argument for the fact that it may have been a midfield dynamic issue also on Saturday...
We drafted 3 or 4 midfielders and recruited Yeo just in the last couple of years, but not really any genuine KP players.
I know I sound like a broken record and agree wholeheartedly that midfielders win games but there are other considerations to take into account.
