We arent paying for him this year.
Scull isnt on a million this year. Highly front loaded and when you have nuttin but kids its got to go to someone
Judging on the OP's combustion we must be doing something right
I was just saying GWS could easily have been even stronger, we are probably a bit fortunate that they don't have stronger top-end talent.
My philosophy is that it is too difficult to nail who is going to be an exceptional KPF, dominating in the juniors doesn't translate to AFL level at a rate I would risk a top 10 pick on a KPP or Ruckman. Patton went #1, take him out and push everyone else up and you still have room for Wingard. Plowman went #3, could have been a Macrae or Wines. Boyd went #1, could have been a Bontempelli or Billings.
It is not that I think Patton, Boyd or Plowman are bad players but I think GWS would have been INSANELY strong if you added Wingard, Wines and Bontempelli into the side. I don't really care if you are a few KPP short, KPP normally take years to recruit and develop and most KPP come from much later in the draft.
GWS have very good talent but if they focused on developing the most powerful midfield group then the team would have been a complete nightmare.
Had Carlton done the same thing then they too had an opportunity to be a significantly stronger side than the one that is going around atm.
