So tell me how many goals has Laird had kicked on him vs Brown?
Hard to compare really, seeing as Laird spends time further up the ground.

Is anyone concerned that all of our signings are happening at once? And that something larger may have happened in the background?

I reckon it's more likely that we just decided to hold off on progressing contract talks until the bye, and now they're working their way through the system.
One of the big problems our team has is lack of run from the backline. Brown, Talia, Hartigan and Kelly all lack the ability to attack. We are relying on Lever and Smith to provide that. Laird is also an attacking option which is sorely needed.This is an opinion based on simply watching the last 3 years. Brown is very very good in a 1 on 1 contest even against the best small forwards. Rarely loses them.
I think Laird is good, but have seen him struggle 1 on 1 more often.
If Laird played the amount of time on the best small forward like Brown does, then we could compare goals against.
Good signing
My thinking around 2 years is that it may be a result of staggering the contracts

Browns opposition never has to worry about him hurting him on the rebound, whereas Lairds opponant almost has to tag him.
I like the thinking but it's a pretty poor player manager who would cop that as the reason for only giving 2 years if others of his ilk are getting 3 years.

A great deal more if he played as a deep small defender on guys like Ballantyne, Breust, Thomas, Wingard etc.So tell me how many goals has Laird had kicked on him vs Brown?
My guess, it just comes down to money. With 2 years of good footy he can push for more with a new contract in year three this way.
