Willing to trade Ian Perrie?

Too conservative .

If we took that line of thought we would never have landed McLeod.

Sometimes you have to take a risk. I think you would be kidding yourself that Melbourne will let go Pick 15 of the 2002 draft for a fringe player or a mid draft pick. Think whether you would draft Watts for a fringe player or a mid-draft pick?????? I would assume your answer would be no.

Groom wasn't a regular starter for the Crows, but a fringe player.

Nothing to do with conservatism, but it gets back to our needs to balance our side. Do we need Bell more than what we are willing to give up & Dees are willing to accept?
