No need to overreact, this is not a big signing nor an expensive one and I can't see why it would interfere with the fixing of the midfield. What is the worst that can happen...He can just sit in the front pocket and score a few goals and it's not like we have a huge list of quality forwards that should sooner take his place. Talking about Didak btw..

I don't see Tird returning.
I wonder if in more than 2000 years there will still be people attending joint rituals talking about Hird's imminent return and seeing his silent hand in everything going on around them. People seem willing to wait a long time for some things.

Just got a bit of info today gang.

Bell is looking at options elsewhere again. Same as last year. Nothing really happening yet at this stage.

Also Robbo is also looking at other options.

Both are not very happy with MM.

Nothing might come of it, but they are weighing up their options.

Would be comfortable with getting rid of one of them for the right price.....probably would like to keep one for that hardness at the contest.

Love Robbo but think Bell has a little more upside so probably prefer to keep him.

However, given the position we are in in terms of our list and rebuilding I'd be happy to look at what we can get for both of them.

Like them both for different reasons. Robbo has more experience and knows when to bump vs tackle....Bell isnt quite there yet and has gone for the bump instead of the tackle (and not connected properly.....allowing that player to run on). Bell however probably has marginally cleaner disposal and smarts....actually looks around at options (however has been caught HTB a few times for taking too long).

I have no. 12 on my jumper (Matty Lappin fan), so i've grown to like Robbo over time.

In terms of a trade....wouldnt be surprised to see Robbo sent to Melbourne in a deal for Watts.
