I must admit, I definitely got this one wrong….i had him on the easy delist pile.
Besides locking down players, his ground ball gets and distribution have been great. He’s such a little nugget that he doesn’t get pushed off the ball or tackled easily.
I’ve watched 2/3 of the SANFL games...
Bond in the listed best players the last couple of weeks with average looking stats.
Anyone at the games able to offer any insights? Did he do a decent shutdown job on someone?
Close, but I reckon switch Berry and Nank. Depends on matchups, but Curtin would have to be a long shot to debut from here…Borlase/Keane would have to be more likely at this point.
How the hell has this nonsense just been ignored by the media? Impressive even for the AFL.
Most absurd thing I’ve heard since Steele accidentally opened the wrong door…
Keane for me.
I think he has huge upside and will get a clear run at best 22 until Murray is ready to go.
He is looking much fitter from some of the preseason footage too.
Yep, it’s difficult for a few on the crows thread to accept, but Adelaide is pretty much at the bottom of the desirability list for the vast majority of Australians. I’ve never really heard anyone in the corporate world say they want to move to Adelaide without some strong connection. Whereas...
Arlo Draper delisted by Collingwood.
He hasn’t done much since being drafted, but looked good in his junior years.
Will be interesting from a list management perspective how they compare taking a pick in the 20s in a weak draft vs someone like Arlo on a 1x year rookie deal.
Yep…I literally haven’t seen any discussion in the media about his worth like crouch. Only…’if the formula say so’ and ‘what kinda deal would trigger band 1’. It was clear the AFL were never going to give us pick 2 regardless of what the formula said.
All very quiet on the Bailey front.
Out of interest, do dogs fans think he can play inside mid at AFL level like his junior years?
His stats as a defender/outside mid aren’t that inspiring, so not that excited as an FA for for the crows unless there is a role change play.
As in you think he is more midfielder than defender?
From what I could tell, he seems to be be playing HBF but isn’t really a running HBF or skillful set-up play type HBF.
What’s going on with Bond?
I know he’s only recently back from injury, but his recent stats are terrible.
I watched the first quarter of the SANFL game on the weekend and I thought he looked pretty good and had 5 or 6 possessions…didn’t watch the rest and he somehow finished with only 7! Less...
Really hope the crows don’t overpay here…feels like the classic role player.
We’ve already got his role covered with soldiers like Hinge who is probably just as good and cheaper.
Plus we have Nank and Cook in the wings who are unproven but have have huge upside.
Unless the crows think he can...
