So the word is out that he wants to come to us.

Two questions:
1. True? Or Melbourne beat up?
2. Would we want him?

My answers:
1. I reckon it has merit. Like Buddy, he craves success. And you have to think he is thinking "I've had a few injuries, no protection at all from my current midfield. I need to find a tough (still young) midfield group, to ensure I dont get smashed around" Not really that different from how I'm sure Nat Fyfe is thinking (although he likes way too much glory to get out of the "bubble" and be anonymous in Sydney). Plus he would like the reduced pressure of having to come through at Sydney, and who wouldnt want to play alongside some of the stars we have today.
2. I would. Especially if we lost Tom or Sam Reid. I see a hard working and tough player, already savaged by being a target in a weak and under-sized team. Should have been a No. 1 in the draft, and would fit in beautifully in a midfield that works as a team. If nothing else, pursuing him is not an option if Tom really is looking elsewhere, as he is a 200-300 player as it is - I think JO'M has more skill, Tom is more resilient.

Thoughts?
