As i said a month or two ago, cant believe the medical people had him running the 3km trial day 1 and then allowed to him to complete a somewhat non modified program with his injury history to both calf and achilles...

Same here. They call it player and load management don't they!?
 
If he is right in September and playing well Finals, that's all they need. It's not a disaster for them.

But Brett being out that long for us at this age would've meant he had zero trade currency.

It's a masterstroke of a trade for us. Timed to perfection. We win whatever happens from this point.

In your premise i agree with you Scooper the right trade at the right time for the right result for the Tigers.

The only caveat will be how the Tigers utilise the currency we got for him.
 
Deledio was just a cherry for the top of the cake for GWS.

Scooper is bang on they dont need him to play 16 - 18 games if they get 8-10 games from him in the final third of the season with him ready for Finals they will take it.
