Dan Richo had everyone thinking that we were going after a broken down Lada in Jason Winderlich, even went on radio an lied about it to the masses making them think we were going to pick up that drug addicted spud,,, WRONG, while Richo has been playing the media on a break, FJ has been panning for gold deep in the cesspool that is Melbourne Fc getting his man,,,, pretty shrewd pickup by the tigers, i like it,,,, a lott ,, AGAIN
hhhhaaarrggh or if we are gunna spin stories. maybe he got so desperate to do a trade he threw up pick 12 for a bloke with a serious foot injury that could be career threatening and the same bloke has a 5 yr career record to date that is not worthy of giving up pick 12. oh i love how the blind follow the flute of the rfc piper.
never thinking just following.
Will bump when deal pays off
oh you think im against the deal. im undecided and instead of going geez its jack trengove he was a number two pick 6 yrs ago its worth doing the deal. i look and try to see the negatives as well.
do you remember a bloke called shaun hampson, we gave up pick 28 for him. well its not just trnngoves injury that is a concern his performances are not that great overall decent is how i would put it.
. im seriously asking and weighing up if hes worth pick 12 based on performances to date, just like i asked the same thing about hampson. im asking myself what kid could possibly be there that will maybe serve us better and is worth pick 12.
then i look at our recent past and the lack of nd picks on juniors and ask is it wise to trade out of the first rnd of the nd after so many yrs of compromised drafts and taking so few kids.
its a tough decision weighing up risk v reward.
usually with a pick around 12 your asking yourself which kid is better than good and could be hopefully vry good to elite. failure with this pick should not come into it though it does happen now and again.
with trengove we are weighing up a boom or bust scenario with injury, plus we have a 5 yr afl window to judge if he will become very good to elite.nothing in his performances suggests that. to me solid citizen is what i see and stats and kpis over the last 5 yrs back it up.he is talented though and the teaser is its possible this could get better.
all im suggesting is rather than jumping in and going wowee trengove was a pick 2 we have to get him, weigh everything up instead. once a player is drafted where he was taken is irrelevant, they live or die on the backs of their performances. im just not sure his performances coupled with his foot warrants pick 12. and i worry about our participation in the nd to top this off.
