He's about a year younger, negligible difference.

Also, I thought Billy showed enough in his games to keep is spot.

Closer to two years but not a huge difference in age- I didn't see Frampton do much at all in his games this year, at least EH has started to take some grabs and is providing his runners with more opportunities.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

McDonald kicked 2 goals on DGB in a League practise match this year. DGB is still far too light to play as a proper key defender.

Has beautiful hands .....one grab mark, and crisp decision making .....DGB is going to be a great get for a club

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Sadly Frampton seems a band aid fix which I suspected when we traded him in -has shown absolutely nothing in the games he was given this year, whereas at least the younger Himmelberg has definitely shown some signs that he could be quite good, but still I wouldn't draft thinking he is the answer - if we can grab a high quality tall then we need to grab them.

Could Frampton play as a KPD ?

Is he related to the Barrass playing for WC? Cousin perhaps?

Really don't know, they look completely different nationalities

In fairness tony lockett woukd struggle to make an impact in our team with the lack of quality supply and f50 entries in general coming in

He might not kick a lot of goals but he'd still make a bloody big impact believe me.

Interestingly I was looking forward to seeing his nephew Jye Lockett (2021 draft) suit up for the GWV Rebels this season, shifted down to Ballarat from Queensland to further his footy last year on a sports scholarship at St. Pats. Bit of growing to do to match Tony yet but he's a forward like his Uncle....

Another player the Suns will have 1st dibs on through their Academy.

 

[Sack Chapman]

Or we take the best midfielder at #1 ......and get a KPP with later picks, where you should draft for need

All or KPP in the past have come from pick 12 and into the 2nd rounds

We need everything, except for half back flankers.

With the "aggressive" side to his game I think he could be a nightmare for forwards - it's worth a try - he may benefit with less pressure to take a grab but still bust a pack and spoil - I like it.

We certainly need to grab a Ruckman in this Draft .......

Worked for Stevens ......worth a trial in PS games next season IMO

I think Riley Thilthorpe would more than hold his own on those I've seen, to my knowledge he's the only 2020 draftee rucking at League level.

 

[Golumless]

I'd argue its not a need, ROB is only 24. Unless you're talking about grabbing a long term prospect as a rookie draft pick (if it still exists).

Otherwise, I'm content just DFA diving for one or just using Frampton as a break glass in case of emergency ruck.

 

[Crowstar]

Might get another 2nd rounder if rumours are true Gooch is leaving

Share the rumour .. please

 

[spenze]

Where did pick 5 come from?

Bit of a long bow here but Pick 2 draft compo Brouch, trade 2 for Freo 5 so they can get McDonald ...and somehow give us a first rounder for next year for the priviledge...and we take Thilthorpe...who probably won't be there after the pick swap anyways. It sounds like true Crows "McDonald or Thilthorpe?"...why not neither and have a pick for next year

Doubt we would get that much for him.

ROB is not a great Ruckman ......he came as a CHB

I reckon like McEvoy, ROB could play FF or CHB as a pinch hitter ......but we must get another ruckman, a leaper ....it'll be a 3-4 year development program

Just take McDonald who is a better prospect.
I think Thilthorpe might not go top 5 at this rate so could position ourselves with GWS pick along with currency we get for a few other trades to move up and get all 3 (Thilthorpe, McDonald and Hollands).

2nd rounder, you have got to be joking?

CCJ could be the one.

 

[1990crow]

Would be lucky to get a third. The most value we could get would be keeping him on and hoping 2021 he pulls his finger out.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

CCJ could be the one.

Yes I agree, but at what cost ? .....he's under contract til 2022

But he's now 4th in line at MELB

At Melbourne? He's at Richmond.
I would look at offering GC third rounder.
Or whatever we get for Seedsman, Kelly etc.

It was mentioned on Crowcast chat about 6 weeks ago he was gone so not surprising if true.
