You seem to focus on players and trade value etc - at some stage you'll need to get back on topic - SOY, ALMOND, TOFU etc - these are brain foods needed to tackle mundane sh#te like football and clearances etc etcOh, don't I know it!
What make me like this thread though is the selective memory.
Isn't it right that when the idea of trading Grundy was on the table, Mitchell deal was nowhere to be seen. This was basically the situation:
Grundy or McStay?
I personally didn't see how getting rid of Grundy was going to help our clearance problem since I rated him a much better ruck than Cameron. McStay I saw as a b-grade, 3rd string, forward, not good enough to displace Hipwood or Daniher, who are themselves not elite.
Suddenly everyone is acting as if we all knew Mitchell was coming to us, when he was a consequence of the great betrayal by Henry right at the death of the trade period.
Things turned out well, but a good result isn't always the consequence of great decisions. Just some good luck.
PS - Apparently Tom Mitchell drinks Kopi Luwak
