Now there’s a great player badly out of form. In a struggling team.
28yrs old.
Perhaps a little too old but would provided ample coverage for 2-3 seasons

There's your midfield bull. Up there with Cripps. I'm interested. Change is as good as a holiday, could do a Burgoyne and play another 10 seasons.

I wouldn't call him a junior footballer though

Geez, chronic groin and OP. Hasn't played consistent footy since 2019 and age counts against him.

You'd want to have the strictest of medicals, even then a ? mark for Leysy.

Turned up in bad shape, injury prone and IMO never as good as the media made out.

Huge pass.

29 in October, played 12 games in 2020, 10 games in 2021 and only 2 this year, not a pressing need, not much football left in him.

No.

Stop gap only. That’s if he can get on the park. Would he really be invested in the club or just picking up his pay? He can do that where he is. I’d imagine he’d be on a fairly decent salary.

Invest for the future.

Stock up on kids and get Griggs back to the club.

First half agree, but can be fixed. Second half nope, very wrong IMO. A genuine unstoppable gun, up there with Fyfe and Cripps when fit and firing, thats what he is. Did you see the second half v us 2021? A midfield clinic, unstoppable. Thats what he does. In terms of capacity, he's a top 10 mid in the comp.

Has had problems with consistency and injuries, and recently application. Thats why any play would have to be at the right price as always. Obviously you wouldn't pay Cripps money because of the downsides, but he can do what Cripps does.

Correct.
May just need a change of environment. And a new medical team.
Would have to pass all the checks and balances but those who think he can’t play when fit or was overrated obviously never watched him play. Gun.
And would provide Cotchin cover whilst younger players develop.
Reckon he’d come cheap too

He wouldn't come cheap
A 2nd rounder isn't cheap.
Hasn't played well since 2018.
Around the same time Stack was best 22.

Gun at his best and exactly what we need but contracted until 2024, injury-prone and 29. Pass unless cheap in both trade and salary. Which he won't be. And of course would need thorough medical. Highly unlikely all conditions meet.

Broad and our second (will go to the Norf pick at a pinch) for Yeo and Petrucelle. Best offer.
