I think we should pick him up in the mid season draft.
Would be an upgrade on Mayne across half back if no younger players are ready.

We don't need more Old Players

I can't fathom the reasoning behind this. Even in a mentoring role, you have someone scarred by 2 decades of losing culture. Admired him as a player but he's way past it

| Only a good idea for a club with specific backline injuries contending for the flag. |

He said he’d only play for a team contending for a flag. That ain’t us.

Hang your head in shame
He played 342 games for a team that won 5 wooden spoons. FIVE
No contender would ever consider him
Couldn't get a game at North

Would prefer Ablett. But we'll have to wait until next year for that one.

I thought that he still had a little bit left in him.
Mayne is finished and IF the younger players are not ready then I think that we should at least consider him in a mentoring, experience and back up role.
Basically, if they want to persist with an experienced player across HB, I’d prefer him over Mayne.

Always liked Simpson as a player and would be happy to see him in Pies colours. As a short-term option it might not hurt to have him down back to hold things together and mentor some of the younger players coming through, but, as several have mentioned above, his own qualifications rule us out. Otherwise I'd consider it.
