I dont think is a high impact player like Dangerfield, Martin etc and I also dont think he would give us that extra physical edge on the ball we need..

I agree, but he's young. I would not pay too much for him as he may not prove durable.

Kelly would be ranked up there with Cripps, Merret and Bontampelli as the best youngsters in the comp and putting Kelly with Cripps in middle for next 10 years is drool material

Merrett is a great ball user who delivers 60% worthless and unaccountable possessions, if Gibbs played like that and our supporters would want him kiboshed.

But the fact those teams are scrapping over the line in recent games shows you how worthless the disposals of Kelly and Merrett really are.

Bontempelli is a different type of player altogether and not relevant to the likes of Kelly or Merrett.

Yeah Nah, I get it.

He's a fast running midfielder in a team that largely allows the opposition to stream out of defence to a turnover zone so that space opens up and they can counter-attack using superior foot speed and disposal skills. But reality is in that GWS team with those players around them everybody looks better than they are probably going to be at any other club, go ask Boyd. As for a shed load of stoppage clearances, a bloke called Mumford has a fair bit to say about who stands tall and gets the ball.

Despite having all those dominant stats collectors, they limped over the line against the busted ar5e lolly smashing CheatsFC in what was effectively a shoot-out with neither team making it to 60 tackles, the AFL season low average is 59 tackles to Freo! Not even 1 tackle for every two minutes of football, was it touch footy?

I'm a little with LP on this one....no more putting all the eggs in 1 basket please.  If Norf want to squander all of their salary cap on a bloke like this.....good on 'em.

Champion team will always etc etc.

cheers

Its really simple.

North throw big dollars at players, go after their younguns, who need a bit more of their fair share of the pie, and bring them here.

Not the older types, but the ones that we can oust out of there easily enough.

Get us a Trent Dumont, or a Mason Wood whilst they are off chasing other blokes.

$1.2 mln over 7 years is not really putting eggs in one basket with 3rd party deals etc

Salary cap moving from $10.8 mil to $12 mil and will need a couple of $1 mln p.a rated players in the midfield.

You would offer that deal to a future multi All Australian.
