delisted free agent costs nothing and cheaper and more upside than say a Lonie or Kent surely.
He does cost something. A place on the list.
Clearly our insurance tactic failed miserably this year.
Do you see any of the powerful clubs recruiting insurance (Geelong the exception, and how is that going for them)
Get young players you can develop and groom into your team.

So your saying he can't be groomed to improve and have a roll in a best 28 playing group ( need that depth minimal to win as injuries , suspensions always happen)?
IF not then no dont get
If maybe then surely better than Lonie or Kent, neither of which I see in the next top 4 side of ours.
Need to look at who else would be in that list place .

Why do you think he is soft?
He is 183cm is that small??
Of course it is small.
Barely 6 foot.
Only 12cm taller than me.

When I was a young child, I knew that I knew so much about so much.
Now that I am old and know so much more, I know that I know so much about so little, and so little about so much.

LOL - but we got someone at 3,000 points as well - once drafted the position and point value of that player means nought - if they develop great - if not cast them aside and start again.
I am reminded of a Cost accounting exercise.
If you produce 10,000 widgets per day and have just bought a machine that produces widgets for $0.05 but get offered one that will do the same widget for $0.03 (all other costs are the same) for $20,000 do you scrap your brand new machine and buy another??
Naish at Richmond is not worth pick 34 anymore - he is worth what someone will pay for him - historical 'cost' is irrelevant

Tinker with the 5c machine for a number of years, thinking you'll make it better and start producing at 3c. Stuff it up so much that it's now producing at 8c, so sell it to Essendon who tighten one screw and make it work at 2c.

Seriously I cannot believe we would be interested in Naish
When the Tigers could barely field a mid field through all the injuries he could still hardly get a game.
We don’t need another smallish lightly built player, did anyone from our club watch the grand final. It is all about big explosive players, if you were going to take a player cheaply then Hamish Hartlett (probably too old but ..) or Powell Pepper (could be available)
Spot on Terry
Small
Can’t win his own ball
Will be another Lonie
Not what we need
Astounds me

Will be another Lonie. And you know this how? You don't, but never mind.
