Well we've spent $7 million on the one position that doesn't win you premierships so why not spend some on an actual match winning player?Rosolino_Leone wrote:eddiesmith wrote:Would be elite, despite what a certain troll would have you believe.mattdally wrote:He makes us so much better.
Unlikely he would come to our rabble at the moment, but JDG and Petracca playing forward / mid roles is a lot better than JDG / Thomas or JDG / WHE
Then again, maybe the troll is actually Ned Guy? Might explain the overrating of certain players and not interested in quality players at other clubs!!!
But why would it be elite eddie
Petracca is overrated and full of Calabrese Salami, convince me otherwise? If JDG is not an elite mid, and Petracca is not an elite fwd or mid, then how does that make us better?
Ill give you until midnight to present some stats or make some convincing statements as to why you would spend 1 million dollars on Christian Petracca...
Whether he's worth a million a year, who knows? Depends on performances this year to back up last years brilliant season. But he's definitely worth more than a ruckman that taps to his own feet.
But obviously you're of the dreamteam generation where stats are everything, so a ruckman winning 50 hitouts is elite, even if it doesn't equate to clearances or his team actually winning games. So you'll deride a player like Petracca on his stats alone, when anyone who watches footy knows he will be one of the elite players of the comp.
Players like Petracca and JDG can turn a game with a handful of touches, yet you prefer players who can get 25+ possessions and be useless with them.
Let's not forget last game the opposition didn't even bother competing in the ruck, they realised just how useless the position is, and they still beat us! That was a team that was struggling and are long odds to even play finals.
