Seriously though sad to see him go, but really happy with the clubs strong stance here, assuming we get a good deal. I'm hoping they can work it into a three way with Brisbane. Picks 25 and 28 (whatever it works out to be) or 25 and Merrett would be great for us.
Definitely agree with the Merret trade. We were definitely monstered by the big boys this year and desperately need our own gorilla.
I recall the following "monstering the little guy" events this year:
Buddy / Tippet / Goodes in Pre-lim
Tom Hawkins (as usual) in the semi final
Skinny Daniher vs Firrito in the Elim final (give me a break!)
Cloke (another "as usual") in Round 5
Waite/ Henderson / Casbolt in the Carlton game
Gold Coast game (Lynch and mates)
We are simply too short and puney in the backline. I'm predicting Tarrant at full back or CHB in 2015.
I think Sauce Merret is a no brainer.
