The only thing i'd say is I, and quite a few on here, thought the same when we played against Freo and Cerra before he came across to us. That turned out alright.
As I recall, many people were concerned that we'd pay overs for Cerra and lots complained that pick 6 was too much (I think I was among them). I don't think there was much opposition to adding Cerra to our list; he was already a genuine and developing talent.
I was among those who wasn't particularly pleased about adding Adam Saad to our list. I thought that he was a smaller, faster version of the Emu and always running himself into trouble. I'm more than happy that I was proved wrong about Saad but I do think that he fits into our team and gameplan(s) better than he did at Essendon.
Gresham's best footy is behind him, his disposal is poor, he doesn't provide much defensive pressure inside 50 and he hasn't been able to command a spot the saints 22. In fact, he would be a downgrade on all of the blokes who have played small forward for us this season.
I really can't see why we'd entertain adding him to our list apart from the fact that he's a free agent and won't cost us a draft pick ... unless we get compensation for a free agent leaving.
I'm convinced that there's nothing to this but media speculation.
