We know so little about what is going on there's no point slinging shit at either (or both) side right now. Although I guess that's what we do best here.
I fully trust Bevo to make the right call here 100%, but I hope he knows what he's doing. Forgetting about his on field ability (which I suspect to be top 5 in the league for at least a few good years) off field hes just as important, a team favourite in the change rooms, huge favourite with the kids and just all round marketing ability.
The club 100% needs to be seen as a clear winner in this trade, or it will hurt us big time, there's no two ways about it. Don't have a lot of confidence in Jmac but ffs if he can't get value out of a situation like this then he needs to go. This is where you earn your money, not signing happy players to 2 year extensions!
I just feel like if the club were genuinely serious about trading him they would have done it a lot differently, all we've done here is **** our strong position.
I still have hope this will all be mended but geez if it's not we absolutely cant be taking a late first rounder + fringe player ffs. Top 5 pick + player minimum. That's easily what he's worth and no other team would take less. Essendon or Geelong dont have that? Too bad better find it.
Not sure how we fix our forward line but **** surely we've got something in mind
