If the AFL wanted to make up to us for the salary cap stuff up, and offered us a choice of Carey, Hird, Buckly and Lloyd for free who would everyone take?
I can't see a place in our team for any actually.
I was glad we didn't get Carey. I admire his leadership and his ability to win a game, but I think that was developed with a certain group of players and wouldn't work at Richmond. Injury prone and past his best. (Hopefully ;D)
Hird could be valuable if he wasn't so injury prone now. I don't think we need him in our forward structure.
I can't see anything Buckley would add to our team at all, but maybe that's because I haven't really seen him play many good games against us. He gets votes sometimes and that annoys me. 15 posessions out wide that don't benefit the team isn't worth votes imo. Wouldn't want him if we were paid to take him, ha.
If we had to take one of the above 4, I would vote for Lloyd. I like his leading, and he is a very reliable kick.
Still now we have our new midfield it might be more worthwhile for our own forwards to lead now too, knowing there is a chance they'll have it delivered to their advantage.
Am I suffering from tall poppy syndrome? I think I'd rather back the guys we already have.
Go Tiges.
