    This is from 2016, but his highlight reel looks good.

    Nothing lost and strengthens our depth. He'll be best 22 with us and be a walk up start in Round 1.

    It also doesn't matter if he is not best 22 immediately. We're not going to be giving up much, you wouldn't think he's getting paid more than the average (likely less) and he starts in front of at least 15 on our list.

    I'm not sure who people expect us to fill the remaining spots on the list with? We are already one of the youngest lists in the league, and we'll be adding several 18 year olds. We can ABSOLUTELY afford to be adding in a 28/29 year old into the mix, while still targeting a top liner like Wingard also.

    Couldn't agree more Ozza. Sam has his limitations but i see the addition of midfield time this year and his obvious forward talent as a great acquisition to the squad. I reckon he would feel like he has a point to prove, which is never a bad thing.

    Worth a go - natural forward who is good one on one - has been a popular clubman so hopefully is a good guy with a work ethic

    Love the thread title!

    If he can do this, I’ll cope with him ....

    What's happened to him the last two years. He has only played 6 and 5 games, and that is my concern.

    Martin got mega consistent as a mid that goes forward, Rioli has bloomed in a similar forward role, Prestia & Caddy came in as mid/forwards, Higgins surprised up forward first year up and their other high pressure forwards were fighting for spots in the team. Combined with the fact they had next to no injuries. If they had our injury list and has fit, he would've played at least 30 games. In the VFL the reports were that he was close to dominant over the last two years. Contending teams often lose players on the fringe wanting more game time, we lost some, Hawthorn lost a fair few etc.

    I reckon Daniel Rioli happened, that's what.

    That and the advent of Higgins, Martin & Caddy eating up more forward time.

    He's been passed by the likes of Rioli, Butler, Castangna, Higgins & Bolton.

    So he is not a best 22 player

    I am not sold, but will remain open minded.

    Of Richmond in Premiership year, then a preliminary final year. Sure.

    Of our squad. He's probably best 22.

    Not every acquisition can be a big exciting one. Sometimes a Hamling or a Biggs wins you a premiership.

    Don't be so reasonable BT.
    Its trade time. Which means you have to get players into the club who are all guns, but also not pay them too much and not definitely not give away draft picks on them - which of course you would have used only on the stars and steals of this years draft.
    Got it?

    My bad Mr Ozza. I promise it won't happen again.
