I don't understand this. I actually think the Saints got Longer cheaply.
Pick 8 ruckman who looks like he may live up to that pick, swapped with pick 48 for picks 25 and 41. How is that way over the odds HJ?
It seems more to me that we were keen on Longer and am sure would have provided our Buddy compo pick, which was better than what the Saints offered, but when McEvoy became free, we preferred him and left Longer hanging, having already nominated us.
Is that right?
Sounds about right to me. I reckon Hawthorn would have mentioned big boys name and expected the same reaction the Saints would have got had they mentioned someone like Cyril. When the Saints were keen I doubt Wright could sign the papers quick enough.
