I hate to say this but if there is a player on the trading block who is made available for an established player and/or a pick I wouldn't be in the least surprised to see the Blues dangle Setanta. I believe his value is as high as it is ever going to be, people are starting to recognise his talent levels yet he may not have a regular spot on our team as soon as next year.
If we move MK to the CHF position and give the ruck to the combo of Hampson and Warnock (which I have no doubt is the plan right now) then what happens to Setanta? We already have Jamo, TBird and Bower as the talls down back, we'd be carrying Kreuzer, Fevola, Hampson and Warnock as the other talls... We also have Jarrad Waite who can play a key position, Walker can if he has to slide into one...
Setanta's the man who in my opinion is worth the most who could be available.
I love the guy though and I pray he's not traded. I loved the way he took it to Cornflakes at AAMI last week, he's done nothing but impress me.
If all your hopes for Jamo, TBird, Bower, Kreuzer, Fevola, Hampson and Warnock come to pass we still need depth in the event that one or more of that seven is down on form or injury. As Hads injury shows anything can happen in AFL injury wise. Our present we have three of the seven unavailable for the seniors due to injury/form. We should realistically plan for two or three being unavailable at any given time - including Fevola. Our depth will be tested and due to the foresight of MC and Hughes we also have Austin continuing to develop.
Setanta appears to have the capability to further develop into an awesome player.
