Contracted = not going anywhere
agree and certainly not to a club that has nothing to offer but mainly mediocrity, and what quality we do have we can ill afford to lose a bit like robbing peter to pay paul.
He is contracted for 2015. After that he can walk for nothing if he wants. Clubs know this and are willing to trade before their contracts are up knowing that they could get nothing if the kid is willing to go back into the draft.
Also GWS have some real talent up forward but down back they need some size and experience. I don't rate Astbury but some on here do. Stephen Gilham and Tim Mohr are hardly stars down back.
plowman, tomlinson, davis, even jaksch all say hello as tall defenders tony.mohr while unfashionable is more than servicable solid sound defender.
imo i really dont think they have a need for another tall defender and especially one that has struggled to establish himself and only played 35 odd games.
i reckon if they were after a kpd they would trade for frawley. geez shiel in a swap for frawley with some sugar coating going on. its just too easy for other clubs to trump us in these things atm.
imo i reckon they are far enough along to persevere with the talent they have.
