Our midfielders have different but complementary skill sets and it’s their collective abilities that overcome the opposition midfield.  That collective is not as effective without Hewett.

I disagree.  Hewett is an accomplished run with player who can nullify an opponent while still getting plenty of the ball.

$1.5 Million as his first year sign on fee - five year deal $5.25 million which takes him to 33 yrs of age. Would he get us across the line for two premierships in that time, I think, yes he would. We would have to cough up at least two first rounders to the Dogs and probably sweeteners and pick swaps. You would first put it to his manager, then if he was open to it, table it with the Dogs. They are on the way down potentially with a new coach, and which of these clubs in most likely to grab two cups in his remaining playing career? That would probably now be Carlton.

Then WTF are we chasing Gresham on serious coin?  No more massive deals for less than top shelf players, we've carried such types for a long time already.

I was warming to picking up Gresham, but certainly not on big coin and quite frankly, he's not durable and he's another who doesn't do enough often enough.

Are we chasing Gresham or is it just idle speculation by football commentators with time on their hands and audiences to titillate?

Nothing I saw of Gresham on Sunday impressed me. In fact didn't he miss a relatively easy shot on goal from directly in front? We already have Owies and Fogarty doing that for us. Do we really need another?

The only thing i'd say is I, and quite a few on here, thought the same when we played against Freo and Cerra before he came across to us. That turned out alright.

Bit of a difference.

Cerra was a gun at Freo, Gresham makes up the numbers at The Aints.

What has Gresham shown us that makes us confident he's going to be an upgrade, he has to be an upgrade on someone like Owies, SoJ, Motlop, etc. etc., because nobody will displace Harry and Charlie as our 1st choice forwards so it's 3rd wheel at best, unless of course there is a swap deal going on between us the Aints.

I don't disagree with you at all.
