Sorry to intrude, just interested in your thoughts on Duursma and his role in your team 2024 and beyond?
IMO, Duursma for Rata makes sense. Duursma is surplus to Ports needs, Rata is surplus to Geelong's needs. Rata was incredible for us during the year. He was only pushed out of the team when Jack Henry and Sam de Koning were healthy.
I can see Rata slotting straight into your best 22 in 2024 and playing a significant role. Believe it or not, he was best few players for many of the early rounds when he was our sole big defender.
If we didn't have SDK on our list, Rata would have been offered a long-term deal on generous money.
I can see why you would be hesitant to trade Duursma, but seems like a win-win for both parties.
