I do accept that Walter...but whilst I'd love to see him in Purple, and he has had good reason for a few ups and downs, I'm not certain he's the a fellow we should be "giving everything & the kitchen sink" for. Yes, he may well be a player that eventually kicks 4 or 5 every week, and yes, he's probably the only proven/potential tall forward that we've got a chance of of recruiting back here at the moment, ....all those are extremely good reasons for chasing him....
But giving up a main part of the engine room, is a step too far. IMHO....
But, then again, you'll probably counter that with the Judd/Kennedy trade, and yep, I can see the merit in the concept....
Though, at the time, I'm not sure The Slime saw JK as 'their saviour', and yet he certainly has been. Where as, at this moment, we might think of Hogan as "our saviour" - get the deal done! And, ...well...I'm not entirely convinced he's the "be-all & end-all"!
That's all I am saying...
We've had a bit of experience with "hyped" up players before....and it hasn't ended too well!
