Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[Bicks]

I think you'll find he has a prize of some sorts named after him...possibly in recognition of the Davis and first rounder for the GWS mini pick and Brown trade...the Swiss were ever so impressed by it

And doesn't it give you the irits when even some of our own supporters keep calling him "Nobel" instead of Noble.....it's not as though he's a newcomer...

 

[betterthanu]

pure speculation looking at list of upcoming free agents with the car room and potential "godfather" offer.
Dan Hannebery anyone?

Just signed a long term deal at Sydney

 

[Viva la Mattner]

Scrap that then.
next on the list for me would be Sidebottom

 

[Red mist]

Big fish Jake Carlisle?

 

[JP Sauce]

We need to go after Kade Kolodjashnij

We should give out the Noble Prize for the worst speller on the board

If we can't get Noble and Mackay right how they hell would we ever spell Kolo...etc?

It was only 6 months ago so many people were poo pooing over getting Toumpas. Now the Power want him and suddenly he's good enough to get in.

Don't want, has been found wanting many many times, can't polish a turd.
Just because he was a high draft pick... anyone remember Beau Dowler? Mitch Thorp? Kane Tenace

 

[baldandbroke]

Those scoop passes he does off the ground are just ridiculous.

I want him! We'll even free up the number 11 guernsey for him if he likes.

I said it earlier in this thread, I get that he has baggage - I understand that it all might end in tears ... but whichever team lands him will have one hell of an upside. He is the target worth risking it for.

Question with Menzel is: will he request us as his preferred destination

 

[Draft Bored]

Would like Johnathan Thurston as a category B rookie. What a superstar!

 

[SNIPER_]

Redhorse is just blue balling everyone.

 

[Elite Crow]

Seriously some of you need to come down. One mention of a big fish and its meltdown. Even if we are talking to one there is a big difference to landing one.

In the history of our club we have landed one big fish and his name was D Jarman. Chances of us landing one that's not even been mentioned is remote.

We are going to get 2-3 players and none of them will be guns.

That he is, but so was/is Israel Folau

Yeah I'm kidding.

I've wanted him back for years.

I think for what he has delivered - he will be over-priced and a fair risk. What have you seen that makes you think he is elite in anything at AFL level? I'm genuinely asking because I have only seen someone who looks out of their depth.

Getting a player after he has not panned out from a top draft pick very rarely works out. Getting players that show what you want in the field of battle is a much safer and more reliable bet than using the draft position as some sort of measure. Use the draft to go for speculative talent - for sure - but use trades to improve your list.

He's been injured, he's still very young, and he's struggled to settle in Melbourne. Melbourne have been deplorable at developing young talent, which has to be taken into account.

There are numerous examples of young stars battling in poor teams, and thriving in good ones (and I know the reverse applies). Look at Polec.

He's a young, lightly built (has improved) outside player in a team that never wins the inside ball, rarely gets it into open space, and has generally had terrible on field structuring and ball movement.

He was incredibly good at SANFL level, as a kid, and if they want a second round, it's a low cost for a potentially huge return.

If we can indeed lure Menzel and he stays on the park he has all the earmarks of a gun even if it is only currently based on potential.

 

[Pugsley]

Just send the tinnies.

Staying on the park will be the issue.

His talent is massive, but so are his injury risks.

Agree what I meant by that is a current gun.

More than happy to bring in quality kids who can kick.

Nathan Jones and Bernie Vince both get plenty of inside ball, it's blokes like Toumpas on the outside that are the problem....soft!!

See Toumpas, his hips are shot, already had multiple ops.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

If Toumpas was available for a 3rd rounder than I would be open for him to come to us

Just read on the Richmond board that the club described Bennell as the " king of bad boys"... Sounds like he just can't pull his head in..

Maybe they're just annoyed he's not joining the Tigers
