So you think Hine and Co have no F**King idea with Trades and Free Agency?
Not quite. But I don't think their track record with recycled and 2nd string players has been crash hot, let me put it that way.

Even Leigh Brown wasn't all that good, but he was really a case of the right guy at the right time with the right role in the right place...

I agree, haven't been a fan of recruiting some of these blokes but club has indicated it was more a short term strategy to fill the void left be so many recently departed senior players. I can understand the strategy but personally would have opted for more kids. You do run the risk of setting up an age/experience profile similar to GCS and GWS, and we know how well they've gone over the last few seasons, but there is greater risk-reward potential.

I can't see Hawkins leaving as Stui explained earlier but I can see Dangerfield and possibly Rory Sloane leaving the Crows to return back to Victoria especially if Adelaide have a poor year next year and don't pay them bigger salaries than they are on currently.

I think if Dangerfield did return to Victoria he'd go to Geelong because he's from the area, used to barrack for them as a kid and with potentially more retirements Geelong could have more cap space to obtain him.

Jolly, Ball, Tarrant weren't bad. Jesse might still come good and Levi we haven't seen to judge.
