My risk side said yes, he may turn into a Bellamy or Bennett' and be here for many successful years, my long suffering Bulldog supporting risk averse side says Flanagan is the only candidate with the experience we need. I still lean towards Flanagan, but it's clear Ciraldo is held in incredibly high regard and I have to say I have been extremely impressed with how good a job Craig Fitzgibbon has already done. Fitzgibbon is definitely the real deal.
Another school of thought, do we continue to use Potter as an interim for as long as it takes to get Fitzgibbon. Gus has a great relationship with him and Sharks may be open to getting Flanagan back.
