You arent going to get those developing young mids unless you hit the draft though and we dont have many picks. When you look at needs, with SPP coming back, Barrett joining us via NGA, it makes way more sense for us to have Parfitt over McEntee or FEvans.
Edit: And maybe Richards potentially joining.
Hes not replacing mcintee tho, he’s contracted (stupidly) he would be taking a spot of a rookie we could be drafting. There’s a real danger if we don’t cut enough players that we only take 1 live pick in the draft and then our f/s and ngas.
If we cut really heavy and draft 2/3 players before taking those ngas I would have no issue with picking up parfitt as a dfa to be a sanfl mid helping the kids.
