You’d get him to the club just to lift standards on the training track & start giving some proper feedback to a few of the lazy campaigners around the club. Knowing our luck, he’ll see us as topping up his super & give two shits about footy.
Yeah, you'd reckon that's the thinking behind it with the leadership he'd bring etc. If he re-discovers his form then it could look a great move and we'd be getting from him what we would have from Sloane. He would obviously not want to cost much either but hard to see them demanding too much considering his recent injuries, we'd be "buying low" for sure.
There are a couple of concerns with him though:
1. He's a pretty big ball-butcher. Ideally we wouldn't be adding anymore of those
2. His body. Having him and "Dave" on the list with suspect bodies is far from ideal, that's a couple of list places right there potentially not used for a lot of the season going by their past couple of years.
Lethlean will no doubt know him and his dad well with the Old Xavs connection so will know what he can bring to the table. If he thinks he is what we need we'll just have to back him in and keep our fingers crossed because, while there is risk to it, if it works the trade does have some upside for sure.
