Confirmed Mark Keane - Signs 3 Year Extension [OOC 2028]

[Cleric]

The jungle drums are beating alot louder now that he is looking for a trade at the end of the year to Collingwood.
He is actually an extremely good player, one of the best Irish boys in awhile. He is one of our best performing backs, and has been trusted with the kick ins.

If I'm the club, I'm not letting him go. He's only 24 years of age and is going to be an excellent player for nearly a decade.
Collingwood would want to offer something rich to get him I think.

It's almost that time of the year! Silly season is upon us

 

[Pleasedontfail11]

Don't really want him. He is okay. But im not paying the price. Hopefully the club agrees.

You haven't watched many of his games have you? You should get a good one this weekend.

He's a damm good player, and I also hope your club agrees with you.

I watch Adelaide games, Joel Amartey kicked 9 on him. He's a serviceable defender. "Extremely good player" is taking the piss.

24 year old, new to the game, and getting better every one.
He is an extremely good defender, as his his stats show.

 

[Cleric]

Let's come compare him to one of your players.
So, a fair bit better than Rat

Ratugolea is a shit defender, i would never call him an "extremely good defender"

I don't overrate players on my team unlike you

what are you expecting collingwood to offer

 

[AFDogs]

Very good player. I rate him. Clean user and makes smart decisions. Great pick up by Adelaide.

 

[A1fromDay1]

Would think the pies 2nd rounder would do the trick then on-trade that to Gold Coast for Lukosius.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Keane’s a solid defender. Much more an interceptor than a 1v1 guy. Has a good amount of value to us, given Butts seems to be injured more often than not, and Borlase is bang average

Remains to be seen whether we let him go this year to get premium value for him, or retain him and take the risk on convincing him to stay

Either way, Ratugolea got pick 25, and Keane is better

 

[Cleric]

Ratugolea is a shit defender, i would never call him an "extremely good defender"

So we agree Keane is better than Rat. Port gave up pick 25 and change for him out of contract. Keane in contract is worth more.

If you don't see the upside for Keane, when he has been playing AFL for a couple of years, then that's your defect.

 

[Cleric]

what are you expecting collingwood to offer

I am expecting a stink average second rounder, that's the issue.
He's only 24, is playing excellent football, and has scope for more improvement as he gets games into him.
He really fits a need for us.
That's the issue, we won't get what he is worth to us, so I just hope the club say, nah, you can stay.
The problem that may arise is he could just head off back to Ireland if things don't go his way.

 

[Cleric]

Very good player. I rate him. Clean user and makes smart decisions. Great pick up by Adelaide.

I think he has snuck up on people. Played way better than I thought he would, and obviously Collingwood have been impressed as well.
Add to that it would make me vomit in my mouth thinking of him going back to the Pies.
Like having a chubby GF who's ex didn't want her, but she lost weight and now he wants her back, and she goes back to him.

We got held over the coals by Geelong who have form in that area. Adelaide do not have the same killer instinct to do that.

Besides, they are different types KPD, Keane is more of an intercepting/rebounding defender, Ratugolea is more like a Murray 1v1 defender. I don't think Ratugolea would have Amartey kick 9 goals on him, if that's what you're asking.

Based on your shallow comparison of players (just posting the default stats that the AFL website spews up to you) Murray is statistically similar to Ratugolea, which makes him worse than Keane too. Thoughts?.

Would think the pies 2nd rounder would do the trick then on-trade that to Gold Coast for Lukosius.

Is Lukosius the same value as Keane?
Both 24yo
Similar height
Both contracted
but Lukos has played 115 games where as Keane has played 30

I would have thought that Lukos would have a higher value?

 

[Robroy22]

A "late" second rounder and Jacob Ryan (nice clean cut Adelaide lad)

 

[ABAB]

Ratugolea is a shit defender, i would never call him an "extremely good defender"

I don't overrate players on my team unlike you

What's your thought of Houston's worth?

 

[BEEG]

Hoping we look elsewhere, goes OK think we need someone with more size.

 

[Danger in Texas]

A "late" second rounder and Jacob Ryan (nice clean cut Adelaide lad)

How’s Ryan progressing? Hoped we’d somehow snag him back in his draft year

Luko is on a contract worth 3-4x more per year

 

[Robroy22]

He's going so well I'm suggesting you might like to trade for him

 

[Danger in Texas]

Can i get a genuine answer please

You’re obviously not a fan but what about him is not looking good?
