Past Rhys Palmer

Is it just someone has to carry the colours competently while you develop youth, I do think he's a good option for that?

Yup, and if he just happens to play to his best he still has some years left. Gibbs may still leave next year and we definitely have a problem with mids kicking enough goals.

If he is on around $450k then we are only taking that amount on for 1 year before his contract expires in 2017 at which point he's 28 and wouldn't have too many suitors. We have plenty of cap space and GWS needed to make some for Deledio. Should he play well he could earn a decent lengthed contract but he will have to accept decidedly less money. Another astute trade by SOS.

Reckon there is a bit of a look alike thing going on here. Just a little.

Tigers are paying a decent chunk of Lids contract and I would hope if Palmer is on 450k GWS have passed a hat around to pitch in there.
