Should we trade Sloane? Might be a good fit for Saints.
Would get another first rounder.

 

[SaltPeter]

I posted an interview with him early this afternoon, this thread .....listen carefully, and you'll be in no doubt he'd love to go to the Crows IF nominated by the club

Hang on, was that the interview with the young fella? I have listened to that before.

How does the nomination work. I thought a F/S had to elect if he wanted to be drafted to a specific club, not the other way round?

 

[Tex200]

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

We’d pay a 2nd for a player like him, have done in the past.

But lol, we’d never get paid anything like that.

no ones giving up a first for sloane.. maybe a second, not a first.

With the Edwards it'll be a bit of cat & mouse .....Luke won't nominate Adelaide till he knows Adelaide will nominate him .....won't want to be publicly embarrassed

Yeah, that interview all but said he'd nominate. Especially if you were a 2nd round onwards type, you'd be mad not to take an easy path onto a list.

 

[Mutineer]

Any idea how he's looking .....last year he looked a bit uncordinated, like a baby Giraffe

Bugger all coverage of the SANFL reserves this year, not even making the stats available, if indeed they're doing stats.

I've seen on the Sturt website he's made the bests a couple of times...that's it.

Fair enough too

Would do it purely for salary cap relief. Target a top line KPP or elite mid around the 22 -23 age bracket. A Talia replacement with speed, athleticism and elite kicking is greatly needed. But then again so is a top line mid with some experience to guide the young lads.

I can't see us not taking him if he and his family are OK with it. He's by far the best father/son we've had come through and I doubt we'd have to use a pick inside our 1st 3 to secure him even if a bid comes for him.

Yep, a no brainer .....they'll want him to fall after the first 4 ideally ....after #28 might be stretching it though

Maybe that #28

Thoughts on the Academy player .... Tariek Newchurch

Do we take a risk on Kane Baldwin ??

 

[feenix67]

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

You don't draft ruckman as a back up. Take a ready made out of the State leagues.

 

[Mutineer]

What level is Borlaise playing at the moment ?

Looks to have put on a bit of size. Long arms...

Doubt we'll take that path in a rebuild

Yes, he's got the broad shoulders .....looking for to seeing how his agility is now, or whether he's going to be a Talia type

I'm sure of it. We just need a break glass for RoB right now. Too many other spots to fill, unless a Grundy type jumped out of nowhere (and there aren't any).

I last read he is 194cm. Good size for a FB.
I see him as a strong bodied lock down type to complement aerial intercepting McAsey.

Newchurch is a very flashy player but from my observations this year hangs off the contest too much for my liking. I can see why his highlight reel looks so impressive because it's rare for him to not have a couple of moments every game that make you take notice but I want more across a whole game from him than I've seen thus far to get me really excited.

I've not seen enough of Baldwin to pass any sort of fair judgement...can't see him going 1st round now with his injury history, at least Aiden Bonar who was in a similar boat re the knee recos was back playing footy to a high level whereas Baldwin is completely an unknown and it will all be down to club medicos assessments.

Yep, that's a good read .....hope he's quicker off the mark than Talia.

He's certainly got the family genes to be athletically gifted .....really hard to judge a 17 YO tall last year

Aaron Hall type player ??

Can see Baldwin dropping to the 3rd round now

Only watched him in U17 match last year and he looked plenty agile enough.
It was his kicking which was the main knock which I'm not too fussed if he works on it at AFL level because we have good ball users around him (assume Brown, Kelly, Hartigan and co gone by the time he comes through)

Geelong are going to finish up following Hawthorns path if they aren't careful. Though they do have 3 first round picks atm this year
