List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part II

[stavro#4]

Crouch isnt any more versatile than Dunstan. Only starts in the middle or the bench.

He is also Dunstan with a V8 engine that allows him to get the pill a hell of a lot more.

compared to the Fred Flintstone style push engine that Dunstan has that conks out at 60% game time.

is a bloody good bloke, a bloody good footballer & no worse off field than 95% of our list.

The only difference between him and the rest of the competition is that he got caught.

Move on & embrace him. He’s a jet and he’s the perfect player for our midfield.

 

[Lightsxo]

If the 650k is accurate that's bargain basent

Happy to give him 50k more so the Crows get pick 2 and we can see Norf fans melt on their board.

 

[NarklesHelmet]

Interstingly my Richmond mate was adamant Dan would be best 22 (i messaged him after the trade sort of like "... this is weird and im not sold" he replied "youve got a player there, trust me, hes good")

Same here; my older brother is as mad a Tigers supporter as they come, goes to most 2nds games etc. loved Butler (still does) and was adamant he’d be a gun for us..... was very sad to see him go.

 

[Kingofthehill]

we also got rid of 4 pretty higher paid players aswell.

and we did have heaps of cap room before that.

Thanks. I thought you might you might have gone a bit harder at Crouch because you'd heard you weren't getting Caldwell - hoping. Time will tell. Well done on Crouch.

 

[Captain Paddy]

JDG could seriously be on the cards.

Steele & Crouch as the two main stays.
JDG, Jones, Gresh, Billings, Ross, Clark and Hannebery rotating through.

With a combo of Billings, Gresh and JDG rotating through the forward line.

Jesus Christ we’d be ready for a 5+ year tilt

 

[BrutThough]

If the 650k is accurate that's bargain basent

I hope its not more than 650k.

Isn't that what Steele re signed for?

 

[phantom13]

Ryder/Marshall

Steele, Clark, Jones, Hanners, Ross, Gresh, Hill, Billings, Lonie, Sinclair, Hill... Crouch

Modern teams need midfield depth, Steele, Crouch and Clark are all (or could be) top liners the rest are solid backups.

 

[Captain Paddy]

 

[phantom13]

I hope its not more than 650k.

Isn't that what Steele re signed for?

Open market hes worth 750+. If we get him for $650 thats cheap. Steele was ours, loves the club doesnt wanna leave etc. Its not a fair comparison.

 

[Ducky Tie]

It was pretty clear this year that Ryder lifted our midfield up a notch or two. He improved our clearance work signficantly and it was an area we struggled with when he didn't play. We can't rely on Ryder too much with his age and the likelihood that he will miss games at times. Crouch is a strong clearance player so he definitely gives us a boost in that area.

 

[triggering bro]

From our finals side:

Out: Lonie, Savage, Geary, Marsh, Sinclair, Kent

In: *Gresham, Long, Ryder, Carlisle, Caldwell, Crouch

*Gresham to play predominantly forward.

 

[St Neil]

They should match you would imagine

Doubt it. He wouldn’t have announced it unless he knew Adelaide would let it slide. He’s outta there.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Excuse me. Just curious. Have you got 1M + for Crouch and Caldwell. I have no idea about your salary cap but you did bring in 5 players last year.

We don't have a heap of oldies on big bucks.
We have the likes of Geary, Hannebery, Hill who are probably on decent coin.
Compare to a team like Essendon with a normal amount of older players, Zharakis , Hurley, Heppel, Stringer , Hooker,. Players like these work their way up the pay scales over the years.

 

[Yawkey way]

Well GWS at this stage will still have the same Midfield next year as this year,which he wasn't Best 22.
So he must be off to Bombers

Still plenty of room in the saints midfield as I’m sure has been pointed out to him.

 

[Grav]

JDG could seriously be on the cards.

Steele & Crouch as the two main stays.
JDG, Jones, Gresh, Billings, Ross, Clark and Hannebery rotating through.

With a combo of Billings, Gresh and JDG rotating through the forward line.

Jesus Christ we’d be ready for a 5+ year tilt

And then we add in Narkle, Caldwell & @gringo2011’s Crossley, with all those players & St Kilda, it’s like a match made in heaven.

 

[Stewart66]

Crouch in
Gresh fwd(?)
Kent out(?)
Caldwell fits where?

Kent / Lonie ..........out that’s pretty easy .

 

[Ducky Tie]

Mitch Cleary reporting that it is five years. Surely that will push it close to band one.

 

[bird_man]

My Richmond mate told me last year Dan can go any club

Make of that what you will campaigners

 

[Ducky Tie]

Can't accuse the club of not aiming to bolster the midfield. Quite possible that our entire starting midfield could be from other clubs (Ryder, Steele, Crouch and Jones. Hanners and Hill on wings).

 

[XhazzafootyX]

 

[triggering bro]

Crouch in
Gresh fwd(?)
Kent out(?)
Caldwell fits where?

Lonie, Kent & Sinclair come out for Gresh, Crouch & Caldwell. Billings & Gresh shift forward.

 

[Mowman]

Well done Saints
Inside mid

 

[Stewart66]

Crouch & Steele on the inside, Jones & Clark outside and Gresham pinch hitting both. Not to mention Ross who had a great end to the year (hoping form continues, he did mention he is playing to his ability now instead of previous years where he would try pull off kicks that he wasn't capable of).

What this also will do is push goal threats like Billings into the forward line where he belongs.

It's a great move for us structurally, still think we need another mid who can win inside and outside but positive we will land a couple more.

Exciting stuff!

Think we have more coming mate , lots of Irons in fires .
