My cousin is 25 and plays a bit of footy. Why don't you have a look at him too?
What I said was, is there ANY upside to Skipworth at all? Already proven he is not good enough at the level, what makes you say he is now?
Fair enough getting players in that age group, but it's another thing if they can play or not.
This is a bit silly, Skipworth IS good enough. He should of found a new home instead of being delisted by Adelaide. At the time Adelaide had a number of consistent solid midfielders, too many in fact. More senior players were chosen to stay at the time of the 2006 super draft over Skipworth. Now Skipworth will be a good depth player, and do a good job if played in the right way.
Do you understand list management, where you need to balance a team not just by types of players but age and experience as well? Well that is what Essendon need to do, and a 25 year old is just right.
Oh and Skipworth is a better footy player than your cousin, he is in fact a very good footy player, he is just a bit short. If he was taller he would be a very good AFL player.
