Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3661636, member: 1899"] The difference is Melbourne are generally smarter about which players they put 'overs' into and they don't get carried away. For instance, Piakura's deal came about because the Broncos had just lost Reece Walsh, they believed they couldn't afford to lose another player so they ended up matching the Bulldogs offer to sign him at the 11th hour. As a result, the only time they got any value out of the deal was during the second half of 2023. Then they immediately upgraded him before he had really proved himself as anything more than a bench player. Herbie if anything was under-valued by the club. Was one of the first players to sign on when everyone else was steering clear of the Broncos. Then only offered a modest deal, so he only signed on for a year to see if the Broncos could come closer to the Dolphins deal and when they couldn't he moved on. Granted, the Melbourne team on paper isn't anything special. What makes them special is Bellamy, how he wants his team to play, being able to put that team together and getting them to play it consistently. It still remains to be seen whether this team he has currently will be able to play that way in September. [/QUOTE]
