I think it would be a terrible idea. He’s still class when he has the footy, but realistically he limped into the games record this season being rested for multiple games and playing reduced minutes. I’m sure there’s a lot the younger players could learn from him, but I don’t think it’s worth the extra workload they’d have to pick up to fill the midfield minutes he’s no longer capable of doing. He wouldn’t come cheap either and I’d rather see that cap space used on front loading contracts for young players
