Whilst I'm drunk and ranting - yes, I have now drank everything in the house since Thursday, thanks for asking - I find the hesitation on picking up Wells simply staggering.
What, do we have a bunch of up-and-comers who will be demanding a significant payrise soon after a breakout year, should we save any remaining TPP for this? It might be the scotch talking, but can't imagine any of our players are underpaid right now. Apart from Nicnat, JK, Gaff, Shue, gov, wtf else are we spending our coin on? If we can't afford to splash out on a free agent, it's not because it's a poor investment: it's because our list managment team have invested so heavily in potato that they should potato-sacked. If we can afford Wells we have to go for it.
Is it dangerous to take the free hit on taking a free agent going to fill the main-list spot with an injury-ridden player, a move that deprives some young hopeful the chance of fulfilling their AFL career? Putting aside the empty spot on the main list we had with 2016, that promissory spot open for any of our exciting rookie crew *cough*, it is hard to see how an entire 2017-2018 seasons of a fourth or fifth round draft pick this year will be worth more than what Wells could bring if he's fit enough to play 50% of games in that time.
Roll the ******* dice Vozzo, give me something better than another dropped Darling mark to jack off to plz
