If we had a 20 year old forward (at the time) put up four goals in a final, he'd be the 2nd highest rated kid on this board by orders of magnitude. He's a stocky young prospect whose shown the ability to chop out ruck which is vital to our set-up. Short-term, he is competition for Cox and a likely successor, and long-term he may develop into being a McStay replacement as a proper forward. Cost wise, he won't cost the world and we're shortcutting through the development stage that comes with taking a young forward.I can't believe you think lord is a better option than Wright and Membrey.
Membrey is also a good target, but the cost is we don't play Cox which might sound alright but we lose height and a chop-out ruck. Requires a lot of change in structure, the end result being unknown.
Wright trade rumours have been shut down.
