He's relatively old, has only ever played one season at his peak, and had lots of little injuries. Doesn't strike me that he'll be playing his best footy - or maybe playing much at all - after 30, and that's only a couple of years away. Surely we'd trade him for the right offer. Pick 25 or better and we'd have to think about it, pick 15 or better and we'd take it.
Looking at the highlights of Roo put up by by Fox when the team run through the banner, he has a special moment with Armo. I am probably making FAR too much out of this but was that: "lets enjoy our last game together" or was it "Lets enjoy my last game of captain before you take the Reins"???????

"Gee whiz I hope SAINTOS from Bigfooty is watching today Armo". "Me too Rooey, what a thrill to think he is".

Nobody, even the specialist, knows shit until that knee is smashed into the turf in a tackle....
That's the plan for the medical Rors. We're going to hire some random to sneak up on him when he enters Linen House Centre. As soon as he steps onto the turf, the hired goon will smash him into the ground repeatedly knee first and then run away. If O'Meara gets up and chases after him, we'll offer him a 9 year contract on the spot. If he stays on the ground, crying and screaming, too bad. North can have him.

lets be honest with hugh here, he'll be out for 12 months from the point he had his injury, which means he returns midway through next year. its going to take him time to work back to the senior side. he will need to show VFL form. for him to be an established defender he will need considerable AFL games, probably a full season atleast

the idea he's back in 2018 and holds his spot as well as being considered effective is a long shot and pretty unfair on hugh tbh

So you're happy to pick him up then & he'd be a great get?

You have no concerns at all?

No I don't think I have ever said that. Whoever we pick up could get injured or not be any good. We know this guy is good. Its the injury that is the risk. He would be a fantastic get if he recovers. If he doesn't he could be like Brooks, Watts, Winmar, etc.
