Adding SOS to a club that has tried to trade their way into a rebuild is a dangerous move.
It's not fringe GWS guys he'll seek out, it's fringe Carlton guys. Some of them are decent footballers who I like watching (Fisher, Cuningham) but not the types you build a club around.
I listened to a lot of trade radio last year and SOS was on there a fair bit and while I think he did a good job when he was at Carlton and got plenty of deals done in terms of trades etc I was really surprised that he was so far off the mark on his knowledge of how deals might be struck last year. The way he valued picks vs players was way off. Clearly he hadn't stayed on top on the changes in the footy world during his time away from the list management.
He will get back up to speed quickly enough.
