You might be right... I really wish we didn't have to lose Lyons for it though.
CEY has currency? No way, he is not worth diddly-squat at the trade table ... he just has not proven himself at AFL level like Lyons now has. Could he? Sure, but that is the difference between the two ... the amount of risk. Lyons is the one who actually offers something, which is why we all would prefer not to lose him AND why others would want him.
Let's pretend that it is Rockliff. What would be his equivalent in our team as of right now? Brad Crouch? I reckon that is a fair comparison in 2016 (not potential ... actual performance). We aren't saying anything close to that sort of swap are we ... I mean Lyons is a good player but we are talking about a significant increase in performance ceiling if the change to our midfield is Rockliff in and Lyons out.
