Yeah I dunno. I was initially rapt that we were in the hunt to get him, but I now have mixed feelings. He is well past his best, and he aint get younger or better. His attitude is questionable at times and going on previous departures, he comes across as a traitor. Not sure he's the "messiah" that everyone is expecting him to be.

If we get nothing else out of him, I do expect him to depart some of his knowledge and experince on to our ruckmen.

Don't think he does not want a Premiership medallion. I imagine he will give us more than you think.

The fact he will be playing most of his footy on the small SCG should not be overlooked.

He will play in short bursts and be very effective I think.

It looks like it happened - literally at the last minute. And now it has happened I'm feeling pretty good about it. Spida has been an excellent player though he didn't really look like he was trying this year. We have a way of bringing out the best in a player so he could add a lot to the team for maybe two years.

The weakness we have had since Goodes stopped rucking has now gone. We are a team that thrives on stoppages and now we have one of the best tap ruckmen in the competition.

Also Spida going forward is going to cause massive match up problems for other teams.

It should be fun. Bring it on!

i think cause of his injury and the fact he came out last year and said he wanted to leave made it a bit uncomfortable for him there but injury held him back i think

i think he will do that for you if anything happens and he retires
