News Brad Crouch to Saints (STK make offer; Band 3, ADL to match?)

[WaynesWorld19]

Good point, better ask for a priority pick too!

 

[WeeBlake]

Interesting that Sam Edmund - who actually broke the news of Crouch to St Kilda - doubled down today on his 800k per year information, and stated it was after triple checking.

The ones saying it's "nowhere near Band 1" are all associated with Croc Media.

[Crow till I die]

Was going to be starved of midfield opportunities and consigned to a HFF .....returned to Freo, shown some love and absolutely flourished in the midfield late season

Will be a starting midfielder for Freo in 2021 .....great win/win story

that is what I mean, players can be coerced into moving and maybe Dunstan might come here and flourish?

We're ridding ourselves of slow players .....Saints speeded their game up, hence why Dunstan couldn't get a game

We have one slow player in Matt Crouch

I haven't heard the interview, but of course there's still dialogue. It might involve other aspects in trade period.

LOL, as suggested by others on here, Rowie now been spoken to.


Gone from "pick 2 or he stays", literally arguing with Bicks yesterday, to "crows fans need to temper their expectations around pick 2 and crows will have to trade".

I think he tempered his argument when he heard Winter say Brad's contract "Should be around thr mark".

The club could care less what Rowey says.

Are you a Port supporter, or a Russian bot? Fill in this Captcha please

Are you a ********?

Because he knows it’s not happening, he said a trade is likely

 

[KPWorld]

Because he also said it is at the discretion of the afl, so they would be discussing a plan B and C.

He also said Crows and Saints were talking, both professionals and expects it to go through smoothly. Why would we be talking if it was pick 2?

He spent a lot of time dancing but, I thought he let it slip it was close to the mark,

I missed the first bit of the interview, so it may have been then.

Would a priority pick trump the bulldogs' right to their academy player or whatever he is?

If anything the club cares far too much about what Rowey says, or for that matter, anyone in SA media that relies on them for ‘access’.

Clearly they don't care, or they'd be slapping down CrocMedia hard every day.

 

[conVINCEd]

Is Brad’s manager a complete muppet or just playing dumb?

He suggests to FiveAA that our compensation could be a ‘mid first rounder’. Does he not even know the basics of free agency?

He also reckons he’s currently having zero conversations with the Crows or Saints; gee, way to facilitate getting your client to their desired destination.

Not sure why any of his clients bother paying him.

In fairness to Dunstan he badly tore his pectoral muscle and wasn't fit for selection for most of 2020.

Dunstan sidelined with pectoral injury

Midfielder Luke Dunstan is set for an extended period on the sidelines after suffering a torn pectoral muscle in Saturday’s practice match at Punt Road.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the solution the AFL comes up with if we receive a band one offer. They seem rather shit scared to give us pick 2 in this case, and they do have the ambiguity in the rules (being able to alter the results when they want) that they could pull that off.

TBH I'd be happy enough with a mid first rounder. Or they'll make it a pick after our 2nd first rounder.

They'll make up some jerk response like "we've averaged their finishing positions over the last 5 years"

 

[BunjiMac]

Summary please?!

Sticking to his story.

He acknowledges the conflicting numbers in the media but is doubling down and reckons hes double and triple checked the numbers.

3.5 - 4M total and north of 700k a year.

Bombers are reported to have offered Caldwell 550K over 5 years, so Sam's numbers make more sense.

He's not normally one to make outlandish statements but who really knows

 

[Mego Red]

No, they're talking so they can MAKE it pick two.

They're getting a win-win outcome together. Having to trade for Brad is a bad result for both teams.
