This is just the strangest, most bizarre development in a year becoming famous for 'bizarre'.
We chase McCarthy over several years, pay more than we should have, don't use him to his full advantage and then delist him half way through a season.
We spend years chasing Jesse Hogan, gave up draft picks and then in the same season that we dump McCarthy, we send him off to a rival club for the equivalent of a bag of cheese twisties.
We chased Lobb for a few seasons and successfully turned a pretty decent goal kicker into a sewing machine will all of the accuracy of Mr Magoo (Google that you millenials)
Now we are looking for a goal kicking tall to partner a bloke that most supporters spent years saying 'trade him, he's useless'.
So we flick the blokes we spent years chasing and seemingly leave it all up to the bloke that most spent years abusing. You have to hope that somebody down at Dooker Central knows what he is doing because I have no idea what they're doing. What I am sure of though is this is exactly the best way to look disfunctional. I just hope that McCarthy, Hogan etc don't turn into 2021's De Boer or Menegola.
Once again, I have to fall back on hope and ignore the worrying bouncing around the back of the brain.
