Agree or disagree on McEvoy trade

Post: # 1401173Post maverick »

Be interesting to gather yes or no thoughts.

I agree, worth the risk for mine.

I agree but sad to see the big fella go. It's a risk but you don't win priemiership without taking risks and making hard decisions.

Change is never easy but change is constant and inevidable. How we deal with the change is what defines us.

Disagree. Apart from Steven, the only under 25 with any currency in the market.

Should have been building a team around him.

Wholeheartedly agree.

The age dynamic of Hickey and Mcevoy was all wrong. You can't have two genuine ruckmen coming into their primes at the same time.

Agree, now either trade for Billy Longer or play Stanley in the ruck, sometimes pushing forward,
for the ENTIRE season rather than all over the place,
or do both.

Agree.

The biggest positive for me is Rhys Stanley getting more time in the ruck.

Well one good thing about it is that we will no longer be preservering with Stanley as a defender, which he most definitely is not. So it is second ruck or nothing for Stanley.

Oh my god I am so strongly against this.

If we lost McEvoy for 18 and Savage but keep Dal Santo over Pick 26 and Deleney there are some serious issues at our club.

I don't understand the logic of overpaying for Tom Hickey (Who I don't think will be as good as McEvoy anyway) and then having to undersell McEvoy to make room for him...

I was expecting to come on here and see the biggest shitstorm over this, shocked I'm the only one who seems to feel this way.
