2018 - What do you expect from the club?

[DJC]

You're missing the point.

We certainly could have got Smith and Rockliff if we had paid significant overs.... the GWS blokes that chose to stay, for the moment, well no one else snared them either, did they?

Stringer, Smith and Saad are hardly world beaters.

Bit like the blokes that Port picked up - lots of meh, maybe, no thanks imo.

Garlett, Lang and Kennedy are a better trio any day.

And although obviously too early to call re the recent draftees but name a Club that has done better thsn the Blues in the last 3 national drafts?

I tend to agree FB and I like that the club won't throw the bank at blokes who aren't worth it.  Rockliff sounded like a good mature replacement for Gibbs but he's no world beater and Kennedy is a better bet for many reasons.

Smith? Wouldn't have made much difference ... except to our bank balance!  Saad is an ordinary player and Stringer could be good, or a disaster.  Did we really have an interest in Stringer or was it his manager trying to drive up his price?

Silvagni is really focused on good character when deciding who he wants and I'm not sure that greed is one of character attributes he's looking for
