Trade will get done this year. And I personally can't wait for the epic meltdowns that will ensue. Then the deafening silence when he comes out and kicks 6 in his first game as a pseudo full forward.
The new Leigh Matthews.
I hope it gets done TBH. I'm sure it will.
I am not at all
sure that it will get done, but if Jr played in the forward pocket and was in good nick then it may help our forward line for a season or two.
The other issue is the cost of his transfer to Geelong. I would not want to part with a first round pick (or a second rounder for that matter) for a bloke that will be hitting 34 years old at his arrival. I had no trouble with the choice of Dangerfield, Smith, Henderson and Scooter as we had a hole in that age demographic.
I think that we do not get enough out of our small forwards.
We lack a genuine small with good crumbing abilities.
I like McCarthy and he has shown us glimpses of a good small forward, and hope that this year he improves again. I think that this
may be his first full pre-season without some sort of hindrance through injury.
But in the end, I would not be upset if Jr never got back to Geelong. I do not believe that he will be Geelong's Premiership Messiah any more than Judd was for Carlton.
