I dunno bout crouch, to be fair I haven't seen much of him at all because who in their right mind would want to watch adelaide this year, but his stats don't seem that crash hot.. for a slowish player you'd think he'd get more contested touches, but he gets the same as spook, and luke actually gets more clearances.... someone tell me why im wrong!
It's probably more about the cost to get him.
Better off swapping Stuv for Constable and keeping Luke.
The difference is Brad Crouch can actually run and open up play - reason for more uncontested possessions - basically what we need.
We get Crouch it's a improvement , not huge but a improvement.
We need to change something and the midfield been our problem.
Hill’s trade request is as little as three weeks away, while Ed Langdon has parked discussions over a new deal until the end of the year and appears increasingly likely to seek a move back to his native Victoria.
Crucially, both are free-wheeling wingers, which is precisely the type of player the Demons know they desperately need. Following years of recruiting inside competitive bulls and key position players, Melbourne was in the market for Andrew Gaff in 2018 but couldn’t entice the left-footer to the club he supported as a kid.
Now they want one (or both) of Hill and Langdon, Brayshaw’s name has been mentioned in dispatches as a player who could be traded to the Dockers and join brothers Andrew (Fremantle) and Hamish (West Coast) in Perth.
But the Melbourne-based Brayshaw is not going anywhere, according to the Demons, and it would take some backflip to accept a trade request after giving those assurances last week.

A broken hearted, skeptical sainter. His Dad, Des, ran the social club successfully for years. Not for the benefit of the club, either. Loves the saints.

We’ve gone from wanting a first rounder or Hill in a three way to wanting Constable.
Suddenly there’s talk about the Crouch’s and all of a sudden offering Brad $900k is a good idea?
Dunstan on his money & with his output compared to Crouch on his money and output is not worth it.
We don’t need Crouch or Constable. We need people like Brad Hill. Classy, quick wingers who can deliver it lace out.
The supporters on here are the worst. They pot who we have relentlessly and fall in love with anyone that is rumoured to be coming to us.

That was the knock on Josh Kennedy. Constable is a big game player clearance specialist.

I saw his 30 possession game and got pretty hyped by him. Made me depressed that they got another kid who looked like Joel Selwood's replacement who was up to standard after 3 games. He obviously didn't keep it up but still seems to have got handy stats in other games.

They wouldn't give up both. I think they wouldn't want to give up a second for the trade. I think you could get their steak knives ruckman as an extra though.
Because Crouch can work hard and spread from a stoppage to win the uncontested footy as well as the contested. Something Luke struggles to do.
Yeah I can't see us getting much on top of Constable for Jack
Forgive my language but **** on that. Constable can hardly get a game at Geelong and Jack is our best player. Geelong can argue age and risk all they want but at the end of the day if you want a clubs best player you give more than leftovers.
Yeah, Constable is a promising young kid playing in his second year of footy. It's hardly a surprise he can't keep a spot in a midfied of the top team.
Wasn't that long ago Hunter Clark and Nick Coffield were stuck in the VFL too.
Not sure what you think Jack is worth but unfortunately I don't think we'd get a lot more.
If we can turn him into a promising young mid that will likely play 10 years of footy than that might be a win.
He's played 7 games and collected at least 21 touches in 5 of those.

In Constable’a draft year I always thought he’ll be a damn good footballer but slide due to clubs going for the more athletic blokes over natural footballers. I was spewing when we overlooked him for Clavarino.
He hasn’t had a lot of exposed form at the top level but across 7 matches this year he is averaging 21.4 disposals suggests he’s a player. 191cm tall midfielder, good hands & a ball winner. A bit of Jobe Watson about him.
He has 10+ years ahead of him whereas Stuv probably has 2. A direct swap probably fair. The Cats would be mad to let him go.

Listening to Richo on SEN about what he thinks the Saints need with recruiting.
He mentioned he thinks things have changed and Marshall has well and truly exceeded expectations. He still thinks we need to find a back up for Marshall, but I'd be surprised if we were still in the hunt for a Goldstein type and I'd be even more surprised if we still planned on playing Marshall as a forward.
