With a few clear differences... First of all the motives are different. The Suns motives would be to get some experience in to aid in the rebuild of the club and support the younger players whereas Vossy's motives were to top up for a premiership which came at the expense of youth. All of the recruits I suggested are either free agents or old and would come at a very cheap price at the trade table so aren't going to cost you high draft picks like Fevola did. They are also good off field leaders/role models with the exception I suppose of Josh Thomas who you may want to steer clear of for that reason. I fail to see how recruiting the players I suggested you guys recruit in addition to bringing in high draft picks could even remotely set your club back 10 years and how it is even remotely comparable to Vossy's money ball approach where he gave up high draft picks for mature aged players and played average players at the expense of youth.
I was sort of half trolling / half serious in my comment - your above comment does have some validity. It all depends on what your assessment of the list is and to what level of rebuild you need / are prepared to endure.
I feel like from what I've seen you need a deeper rebuild that what you are proposing.
The problem I have with bringing in 4-6 senior players is more around taking up list spots as opposed to what they can contribute to the team in the short-term. Unfortunately the club in it's wisdom have been handing out 3 year deals to players that are not currently best 22 (players like Schoenfeld and Lemmens, Nicholls), which has created an issue into available list spots.
I think they need to adopt a GWS type rebuild:
Senior Leaders: Swallow, May, Lyons, Thompson, Harbrow, Hanley, Witts
The young developing players with experience (Davis, Scully, Ward types): Martin, Miller, 2MP, Fiorini, Bowes, Ainsworth, (keep Weller, Crossley and Joyce as they can be local soldiers)
Everyone else then becomes expendable and you just hit up the draft as hard as possible and bring everyone through together
