Agree Bizkit and Polly. It’s easy to overthink things, but if you put a bunch of the fastest, most skilled footballers on the park, you can figure out the rest. If you plugged him into the role currently played by Sutcliffe / Sheridan, we’d be a 3% better team instantly. In an era of teams ‘chasing that 1%’, you’d be crazy not to look at that upgrade.
I’d prefer Yarran to Jetta, only because in the games I’ve seen Sydney play Jetta doesn’t seem to have the same zip at the moment. Yarran looks pretty disinterested, but I couldn’t really blame him. Years of your team sucking, pretty unfair scrutiny and then having Mick as a coach and using you as a whipping boy would get anyone down. It’s an interesting case study of how Stephen Hill’s career might have gone had he not found himself in a good team (think back to that Leigh Matthews lazy article calling Hill lazy because he couldn’t shake the Brady Rawlings tag).
The Carlton fans I know reckon he’s definitely leaving Carlton, but wants to stay in Melbourne. If I was North, I’d have a look as a replacement for Wells (they lack some leg speed on the outside since Wells was injured). I reckon it would be a really good fit, but they'll probably be spooked by people like Hutchy whacking them with the 'topping up' hammer if they don't win a premiership.
