While the Josh Hill move worked very much in our favour, I don't want to be trying that too many times.
JON, Morton and Bennell are recent spuds we've taken a punt on - so 1 from 4 ain't bad, but I think the focus should be more on the players who will genuinely improve our list.
Betts or Rhys Palmer?
A chance we are choosing between the two in all reality so who would we want?
This is my thinking.Wouldn't hurt to renegotiate a couple of those and front load them next year
What's this about Waterman?Someone talking about Waterman. Who is it?
What's this about Waterman?
Did he get any response?Just a caller suggesting he's a top three pick next year and then goes on to say Yeo wants out of Brisbane that much that he'd risk the PSD.
Can we start this thread over with no talk of Betts? Terrible idea, even before considering the money involved.
On Ellis, he's a good player (almost BOG in 08 grand final), just injured alot.... wouldn't be against it if it was on small coin.
Coledhino - I don't think you've thought enough about the long term opportunity cost of Betts. Even if he just cost $300k/year for 2015-2017, that's nearly a million dollars over three years which could have been spent on attracting (or keeping!) other players. What happens if one of our midfield prospects comes good next year but wants to leave for a more attractive contract?
This year - sure. Next year onwards - I don't think that's accurate, and even if it seems that way now I don't believe it's worth the risk given that we don't really need Betts.
He will be on the slighly above average AFL base wage in those years. Providing he is in the best 22 whch he will be (he is 100 times the footballer Josh Hill is) then he will be a welcome addition. Im confident he will snag 30-40 goals for us and most importantly apply the defensive pressure Hill wont.

Luckily i read this before posting the link from the AFL website. Sounds like we are into him and I'm not against it. At the right price of course
