Do you have any concerns if you pick up Thomas and MacKenzie that 4 of your 5 recruits have come from very low ranked teams that some of these teams didn’t want these players?
In a word, no.
Both Geelong and Brisbane had the chance to match the offers for Motlop and Rockliff respectively and both were courted, seriously courted, by other clubs so I reckon of the 5 (?) those two are not part of the question you have asked, so to say they "didn't want" them is incorrect, IMO, I'd say they wanted them but weren't prepared to want them
more than Port did. I've got no concerns about either of these coming on board. I think they both make us better.
Melbourne finished the season less than 1% outside the 8 so I'm not sure if you consider them a low ranked side, having said that the whole Watts / Goodwin relationship seems to be an interesting one and given the commentary around Watts in the days since in regards to his attitude and application bother me a little. I've got reservations about this deal, I'll have to back Hinkley and the boys to get the best out of him.
Mackenzie I'd take as he'd be cheap and I think we need back up in that area as noted above.
Thomas, I'll be ******* livid if we take him.
PAFC. Forever.
LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!
