List Mgmt. 2020 Trade Thread - Part II

[L_W_P]

No Ryder?

I think that, as amazing as he was in 2020, he is depth next year with Brown possibly coming in.

No way. Our most important player this year with Steele

IMO opinion, it is still too soon for most of that.

For me this is an upgrade on quality on the inside. Crouch takes Ross's center square role and rides shotgun with Steele feeding Gesh, Z.Jones, Hill, Billings etc. Ross moves into the Sincs role. Sincs out

If we want to move Billings to a permanent wing / HFF and Gresh to a more 50 / 50 split, (and even play Steele more forward) we are still AT LEAST one mid short.

For me, that is either Clark (and we find a replacement HBF), Bytel or Caldwell. Open to any of the above.

But even with Crouch, IMO we are still AT LEAST one mid short. Probably 2

the only reason i have ross on ball still is because he is used as the stopper and lock down mid. which allows steele to become the guy inside.

 

[Joffaboy]

I was thinking of a situation like that or is that considered draft tampering. I don't know

Separate deals, call something like "if we get you a Band 1 i.e. pick 2 for Brad, can we deal say Dunstan for a second? We will hold off a week or so on the seconf deal? Sweet, done.

Ricciuto says they didn’t expect him to come to us. Good discussion. Skip to 4:30mins in.

Way too much under appreciation here for Sinclair - he’s been one of our best and CLEANEST ball users this year.

Opportunities went missing thanks to Hill fumbling in the middle of the ground instead of being able to pick up the ball... however Sinclair has been a first touch player ALL year.
His speed/link through the middle and creative kicking has set up so many goals this season. Literally every time the ball went to ground he didn’t fumble, he just scooped it up first touch.

If the Caldwell deal gets across I’d fight any idiot that thinks he slots in to Sinclair’s spot straight away. Play our own kids like Bytel before we start sucking off another unproven talent

And **** it... bring some more mongrel players to the club. I wanna be a feared team come finals time instead of a bunch of soft ***** lucky to be there.

Rant over. Can go any club

You're forgetting the man in my avatar

 

[bird_man]

sounds a bit like steele when we first started with us. he was played forward and really didnt make much impact. then he got his tackle game going and he found more and more time in the middle.

Steele was pretty handy at the Giants playing forward, but yeah he took a little time once he came over.

That real high half forward role might suit him as he'll be around the footy quite a bit.

 

[Joffaboy]

Great get by us re. Crouch as long as keep our first. Finally a big deal trade where we win!

You missed 2019 trade period?

 

[George]

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

Think you are right mate

 

[HarryZLA]

I’m absolutely amazed at the amount of negativity surrounding this Crouch news.

Should we rewind to when nobody wanted to come here at all? Now all of a sudden we are too good for a guy who won a B&F a year ago.

Stop acting like we’re choosing Crouch over prime GAJ and be happy that this instantly makes our team better. Especially considering how little of the ball Hill was able to get this year, he and Billings are going to have a field day with Crouch and Steele in the middle.

would be our second best midfielder.

We don’t need him to be Lenny.
None of us wanted Zac Jones but when we say him, he was actually a gun when he wasn’t tagged. The biggest benefit of Crouch is that he gets a lot of the pill in contests (which we lack) and if opposition put time into him then a player like Jones can get free abs play like he did in the first half of the season.

Crouch isn’t the sexiest player for sure but kidding yourselves if he doesn’t make us a better player.

Agree. Reminds me a bit of when Tigers got Prestia. Everyone laughed at how much they paid and how they missed on Treloar, etc, but he just adds to the midfield mix and lets others get off the chain.

Remember when our chain just had Steven?

If you are trying to bring up the hill trade as a victory it's falling on deaf ears. Now move along.

 

[Xxxx66]

thats absolutely perfect. so we could have gresham take lonies role. caldwell plays kents. billings HFF. hanners to the wing. crouch inside. steele resting fwd.

B Paton Carlisle Wilkie
HB Long Howard Coffield
C Hill Steele Hanners
R Ryder Ross Crouch
HF Billings Membrey Caldwell
F Gresham King Membrey
I/C Jones Battle Clark Geary?

Sinclair missing out....

Kent Hind Lonie all back behind a couple....

Savage, Dunstan, McKenzie all trade bait...

Young Marshall a bit stiff?

Crows statement. Hartigan leaving too.

Crouch, Hartigan to pursue free agency

Restricted free agent Brad Crouch has decided to explore his options

www.afc.com.au

I'm probably reading too much into this, but interesting that Adelaide's statement made note of Hartigan's contribution and wished him well, while saying pretty much nothing about Crouch.

 

[Winmar2Lockett]

Pretty similar to the McEvoy to the Hawks deal.

When the deal went through their compo pick for Buddy couldn't yet be traded... so we did a deal that we'd get that pick for a few later picks when it was available to trade.

Two trades but the same deal.

If we've got the space to front load Crouch's contract that allows the Crows to get pick 2 then sweet. Not that I'd want to help those pri1cks.

Caldwell shits on Sinclair. If I had a choice of the two on the list, Sinclair is gone.
