This talk that getting Rockliff in would mean we are too overpowered or stacked in the midfield seems a bit silly.
Have you seen our injury list each of the last 5 years?
The more quality players we can get, in any position, the better.
We can't really get any quality KPP's this trade period due to not having a first round pick, and the free agent pool is small (literally) so we get what we can this year, and then target KPP's in next years' trade and FA period.
I love our approach at the moment, it started at last year's trade/FA period with Howe, Treloar, Aish, Smith and Wills coming in.
If we do something similar this year, with Wells, WHE, Mayne and another (Rockliff or STewart) then we are back on track, all be it a year off the target of 2017 to challenge for a flag. 2018 is a realistic chance of being a top 4 team if we make the right moves.
