While "he's worth something" seems to conflict with "no big loss", if  it was to get us a ready made, or close to it, ruckman then i would agree you. not for draft picks though. A bird in the hand is still better than two in the bush.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways my ways,” says the Lord.
 
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are my ways higher than your ways,
And my thoughts than your thoughts."

Have another look at the names on the list, have any of them played better than Barlow or Silvani this year.... no. I am not saying trade them for older players, but trade them for better players or draft picks. Borlow and Silvani type players will be out there and I am sure a few clubs would be interested in some of my list for draft picks.

You are comparing our 18-19 year olds to mature age recruits.

You don't care much about truth.
Of that list White, Nahas, Graham, Thomson, McMahon, Morton and King (also Polo) are older than Barlow and all except Nahas are older than Silvagni.
Edwards, Connors, Collins, Farmer and Hislop are about a year younger ie about 21-22.

Only Post and Rance are significantly younger.

With where the club is now on field and for the next two years I feel that the paradox of he's worth something to no big loss is scarily apt even if it means it's contradictory for some.

He has developed a kicking habit and a habit to crack under pressure but i think we would get a good pick or player for him

Crack habit - don't tell Ben

No chance!

It would be good to get him but if he leaves he'll be going to GC probably.

as long as you're not thinking about her box or she might beat you up!
It's that simple Spud
