TDK was an influence at important moments and overall was a great contributor and give him 2-3 years and he will very much be in the Gawn mold of footballer.Shawny...Im not as sold on TDK like everyone else and certainly not prepared to pay big dollars based on down the track promise.
Will be a loss if we cant retain him but unfortunately the market dictates his worth which for the moment is skewed towards what he is very likely to become in a few years time.
Pit is a back up ruckman at best IMO and not a first ruck and as i said i would prefer to play 2 mobile part time rucks then Pit as we look so much slower when Pit in rucking and lose a player around the ground as well.
I see Melb and Freo with Grundy and Jackson and then look at Geelong last year and Collingwood this season and think why does any club need to be paying ruckman a fortune
I will watch the game probably tomorrow and check out the ruck battles but I just see ruckman as minor pieces on the chess board and would prefer we spent our money elsewhere.
