That point is clear...

I guess i'm zeroing in on trying to figure out what you think we should do rather than not do... And in that sense perhaps reading too much into what you've been saying.
Con is arguing that Armo is the most dispensable... And bringing JOM in, Well it would suggest that it would cost us Armo + whatever more.

I thought you were saying we should get him, but not sacrifice Armo but a better/more valuable player and was struggling to follow the logic but that's not what you're saying. Just that you want to keep Armo. Correct?
Correct.


I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Cos he wasn't good enough until 2-3 years later and a bit one dimensional with his lack of versatility.

Unlike Robert Eddy, Andrew McQualter?

He was BOG in Rd 19 against Hawthorn 2009.

It was a massive mis-judgement not to include Armitage and Steven (on the back of v. Hawthorn in Tasmania where Ball also performed) in place of the likes of McQualter, Eddy et al.

I agree but every time I think about it it makes me a mixture of angry and depressed.
