I work with a relative of Josh Battle. Was telling me the other day that he wants to go to Hawthorn. Apparently he was a Hawks supporter growing up, had hoped to be drafted by them.Hawks interested in him as well. I’d back them in given the trajectories of our two clubs.
Decent player but surely we drafted Curtin to play that role?I work with a relative of Josh Battle. Was telling me the other day that he wants to go to Hawthorn. Apparently he was a Hawks supporter growing up, had hoped to be drafted by them.
Good for him, did some hard yards to get where he is now. Gets to play years of likely finals with his boyhood club.I work with a relative of Josh Battle. Was telling me the other day that he wants to go to Hawthorn. Apparently he was a Hawks supporter growing up, had hoped to be drafted by them.
Battle has experience though, so leapfrog he'd go above Curtin.Decent player but surely we drafted Curtin to play that role?
I don't think it will be "cheap".I would hope that we would only be looking to bring Luko in this year if Suns are looking to offload him for for salary cap relief and we get him for cheap. But I'm thinking that is unlikely as he seems like a required player there.
Yeah, but it's still sitting here at the top of a thread started 48 hours ago, so I assume we're still into him in the absence of any reports that our interest has cooled. It's a sad state of affairs that we may be relying on North outbidding us in order to save us from ourselves.
Happy to take a forward at any size who has a long term record of kicking lots of goalsAwkward height for an AFL forward prospect. If he was 196cm he’d be top 15 on this list.
He’ll end up anywhere in the pick 12-35 range when it’s all said and done. Have a great carnival and grow a few cm before the combine and it’ll be more like 12. Have a poor carnival and still measure around 192cm at the combine and it’ll be more like 35.
You mean not drafting a midfielder with our 1st round pick, as we have drafted mids - Dowling, Soligo, Taylor in that timeWho would have thought not drafting a midfielder for 6 years running would cause us issues.
Any chance we can have another crack at Oliver at a cheaper cost given Melbourne might be starting to replenish their list?
Last year the stars could have aligned for Crows to get Oliver, Melbourne Reid with pick 1, and West Coast Curtin with a bunch of other picks to kickstart their rebuild.
Not sure who said no but West Coast wouldn’t be trading Reid now.
Crows not really interested in battle.Where would we even play Josh Battle? Would be a bizarre pickup for our list
Why would anyone?We can talk all we want about trading for Luko, but you also gotta consider if he wants to play for us, which most rumours indicate he has no interest in doing.
Well we could play him as high half forward which was the role that got him drafted i.e. the connector role Tom Lynch style, has the tank to match that role too, tested amazingly well at the Combine for endurance. Drafted as a tall forward but was always going to be a 3rd tall IMO.Where would we even play Josh Battle? Would be a bizarre pickup for our list
We have drafted plenty of midfielders, I just made a post in the thread comparing our drafting to Sydney. We have gone with the scattergun approach of bringing in as many mids as we can, but just not in pointy end of the draft.Who would have thought not drafting a midfielder for 6 years running would cause us issues.

Collingwood also linked to him now tooYeah, but it's still sitting here at the top of a thread started 48 hours ago, so I assume we're still into him in the absence of any reports that our interest has cooled.

Rankine was saying the same things too until August of that year, but he was OOC. Luko is gettable for the right price, that is the best info I've got on him.We can talk all we want about trading for Luko, but you also gotta consider if he wants to play for us, which most rumours indicate he has no interest in doing.
He may be "gettable" from the Suns perspective, the info I was told was that is not currently the perspective from his camp and that was largely because of people still involved with our list management team.Rankine was saying the same things too until August of that year, but he was OOC.

Why would Port go for Stengle when they have Rioli. I don't mind the impact Rioli has had at Port. Think he's probably their most dangerous forward.My intel/rumours so far:
Our targets: Moyle, Luko, Leek Alir, Josh Battle, Perryman.
The Pear heavily into our old mate Tyson Stengle, Perryman and Shai Bolton. Port confident of a ‘coup’ signing. Butters will return to Victoria at some point.
That’s all I got for now.
Besides Willie, they are clearly short on small forwards. Feels like astute list management to meWhy would Port go for Stengle when they have Rioli. I don't mind the impact Rioli has had at Port. Think he's probably their most dangerous forward.
I don't think players care about this type of stuff as much as supporters do. Why on earth would Luko give two shits about Reid or Roo? I could barely name the equivalent at any other club.He may be "gettable" from the Suns perspective, the info I was told was that is not currently the perspective from his camp and that was largely because of people still involved with our list management team.
That can change, but it'll take some work and may not be possible with Reid/Roo leading the way.
I think they'd be better off concentrating on their big forwardsBesides Willie, they are clearly short on small forwards. Feels like astute list management to me
Have heard differently, I know somebody who has a relationship with him and talked directly to him.We can talk all we want about trading for Luko, but you also gotta consider if he wants to play for us, which most rumours indicate he has no interest in doing.
I have two contacts who say otherwise.Have heard differently, I know somebody who has a relationship with him and talked directly to him.
They drafted 2 last year Tom Anastopoulos and Lachie Charleson though, surely one of them makes the big time. Both were amongst the best small forwards in the Coates Talent League and at the Nationals.Besides Willie, they are clearly short on small forwards. Feels like astute list management to me
