Reminds me of someone I know ... Swan ring a bell?
Some players take time to develop, and when they do, go on with it. Looked the part this September. Big game player? Looking forward to a big body on our list for once.

Sounds scarily similar to Jesse White. Let's hope not.
Jesse didn;t finish equal 2nd in a B&F in a prelim finals year.

really curious as to why he would want to leave a prelim finalist to go to a club that seemingly (according to some) has no hope.

The reported $400,0000 X 4 years is a lot to pay for a player with one good season of football behind him.
Just hope this season was a sign of things to come and he doesn't end up being another matured aged flop for us.
Just hope also he doesn't cost us anymore than one pick in the low 20's and an exchange of later draft picks.

Money.
Our deal probably guarantees he'll be at least half a million better off in 4 years time.

If beams can choose the Brions of all places then I guess anything is possible jw. But yes It is interesting. Perhaps we are mildly attractive after all.

We didn't offer any more than North from what I have read. Dogs offered more than us.
There is less of his type at the Pies.
