Yes, it's possible.

Yes. Apparently the Pies are willing to pay 300k of his salary a year. Think we need to think seriously about it.

I both read 5 min ago and saw on the new 2 days ago that they are willing to pay 300k. Doesn't mean it's right, just what I saw. Doubt our cap could take his full salary.

I think it is very much a case of caveat emptor..he seems a different kind of cat and I'm not convinced that footy is, or will stay, his 100% focus. It's a very long, very big coin contract.

Alex Mirkov still 22 years old - Oscar McInerney who was also a rookie is 28 and started to get his game together 2-3 years ago,
210cm ruckman don't grow on trees just needs 2-3 big pre seasons.
TDK just turned 23 and hit alot of personal bests this year. Just need to give our current ruckmen room to grow. Pitto is an honest solid contributor and will need to be first ruck next couple of years just turned 26 and was very solid before his injuries.

Probably a credit to our mids we did so well as they had no support from Pittonet.
Jack was more value imho...

Walsh, Curnow & Weitering were poor last nite, had they played better it may have been a different result.
However, this was the loss we needed to have.
None of the players were smiling and patting backs last nite, it hurt and for good reason.
This was our 'line in the sand' moment and the players now know the level of intensity you have to play at every week across a season if you want to win a premiership.
A handful of players really rose to the occassion, others were found wanting when it really mattered, it will all go towards the end of season reviews and list managment decisions.
