He's not super quick, not a brilliant interceptor and his kicking whilst long isn't all that penetrative. Hows that?
Plus we have other half back options, he's not a need in 2025 and beyond.

Damn, considered him one of the better 18yo HBFs back in 2022, unfortunate for him that he hasn’t come on
He got concussed in his first game, dunno if that's had any lasting effects? Just seems vanilla now.

Just odd that Collingwood would want him. Frampton is better

Thanks for proving my point. Keane is playing better than both Rat and Murray, which goes to show he is an excellent player now.
Adelaide under Reid has absolutely shown they are hard ball traders.
We got a pick for CC everyone said he wasn't worth, which again goes to show the lack of talent identification on BF, as he was always worth that pick.
We got a good return for Mitch McGovern, Jake Lever, and Sydney cried that they got bent over by us with Dawson as GWS thought with Heatly.
I actually have faith in Reid to get maximum value at this point.

Normally Luko would, but as GC are pushing him out, and his is on big coin, it does drop his value somewhat.
GC isn't going to be able to tell anyone that a player that isn't good enough to be in there best 22, is still worth a top first round pick.

Pity this got derailed by a measuring contest between Port and Crows.
I have rated him since I first watched him play in a practice match.
Couple of slight knocks on him.
1/ he’s prone to a few brain fades, (might fix that with more experience)
2/ lacks the innate stuff that comes with playing the game your whole life, (not his fault).
Remarkably composed at times considering the above too.
My opinion on trade value means SFA so I won’t bother.

When I heard we had got him this year, I was like, meh. I dont rate the Irish guys, as they are coming from a long way back, and the majority are busts.
So he's making me swallow a little pride at the moment.
This sounds definite, is it from a source?

Why? Just because he’s played more games?
Luko has been a disappointment for where he was drafted.
Keane has played less because he didn’t grow up with the game. Which player has more room for improvement?

Surely you are trolling. Frampton is not half the player Keane is and could be.

Media have alluded (might have been Cal) that he is likely to stay

Imo, this has all been about money & security with a longer contract... as he is happy at Adelaide.
At 24 years old they are both unlikely to have much improvement left.
Keane? A player with less than 30 games experience who didn't grow up playing AFL?
Rubbish.

Rumour that he's quit the club.
Tonight named as an out for the Sydney game "Family reasons"

Did basically the same to us when covid came. Who knows what the real story is with him.
There’s always a suitcase at his door. Trading for him is fraught with danger.
Coming from a Gaelic football background which as I understand is amateur at all levels in Ireland, is it possible Keane does not understand/respect the concept of professional sport in Australia and believes his contract is worth nothing?
He left Collingwood in dire straits in early 2022. Full-back in the side was all his before he packed up and left for home, leaving Collingwood with a cooked Jordan Roughead and Jack Madgen to play key defence. Fortunately Nathan Murphy returned from injury after 10 or so rounds and saved our asses.
Hard to get around him at all
