    We could afford Boyd, paying Griffs salary this year would've been a sticking point.

        Apparently the facility to pay Griff's wage was the idea that turned GWS around though. So if we couldn't have offered that we may not have got our man.
        They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

            Lonergan would have made our back line stand up for 2 years. In hindsight we don't need him now, who cares what he's thinking. Glad he baulked otherwise Talia may very well be elsewhere at the end of this year.

                I'm personally very happy that Lonergan on 500k a season for 4 years from 31-34 is not at our club. I'm also glad Dawes is not at our club and Hrovat is instead. And I'm very glad that Talia is at our club instead of Matthew Bate.

                                        same applies to Vezspremi. One of the worst trades

                                            It simply proves that you are better off drafting your own good young talent such as Stringer, Macrae, Bonti, Talia,Jong, JJ, Hrovat, etc, with Tom Boyd being a bonus as part of this quality talented group of players.

                                                Does it?

                                                Clubs such as Hawthorn & Sydney have traded successfully in the past 5-10 years which has led them to having sustained success.

                                                    trading or drafting good players is good.

                                                    trading or drafting bad players is bad

                                                        Wanting to go to successful clubs like Hawthorn and Sydney has been the major reason for the majority of these trades plus the added AFL financial support to Sydney which has been well documented. Our equivalent trades in recent years have been Aker and Barry Hall, who at their stages of their careers, were probably past their best. Given our current financial state, the approach being taken on recruiting, would be the most logical one.

                                                            Add Scott Gumbleton and Levi Casboult ( at 500large)
                                                            The Talia improvement is just absolutely massive, and I particular it probably means we don't have to overpay in a trade or F/A
