Those types you want to pick up in the third round or as rookies like Ed Curnow, you don't want to be trading good draft picks for them.
Why we were interested in Lang I have no idea.
Agree on Kennedy, blue collar worker but you have to be careful who you play him on and if to make him a offensive or defensive player....
Also agree on the 3rd/4th rounder or VFL rookie type value.......
Lang was pushed out of Geelong by their midfield riches/salary cap but was never really trialled as a mid much.......you look at Tim Kelly who they brought from the WAFL and you think
wow how good was that drafting but would he be any better than Lang in our team?..probably not.
We recruit supporting actors and then try and turn them into lead actors...doesnt work.
