Agreed. I would rather look at state league players then any DFA.

I wouldn't be against leaving one spot open for a player to train or mid season pick though.

I don't know who this is but I'd also prefer him to any of the mentioned DFAs

Kamdyn McIntosh would be a great cheap pick up for us

He would if we needed a plug and play for one season type. He'll be 31 by round 1 next year and I'm not sure that's the direction we should take.

190cm HF type. He looks good at the level. Still pretty young too IIRC

FRM is generally a good indicator of talent too

I'd be surprised if we weren't interested in the winner of the award. Nearly every single one in the 21st century has subsequently been good enough to be a cemented best 22 AFL player

Also, he looks old enough to be a Dad about ready to turn up to his kid's uni graduation.

Didn't stop us drafting Kieran Collins...

Lachie Smith not far off either

 

[Here we go dogs]

Crossley’s actions just don’t align with his words. Has indicated he’s interested in playing AFL again and has even nominated for MSD’s, but he’s either unwilling or incapable of getting himself even remotely fit enough.

Maybe being in a full time professional environment would do the trick but a club can’t really take that punt when he’s so far behind the pack, you’d write off an entire year getting him up to scratch. Maybe a preseason sign on spot would work to at least see what his work ethic is like over an AFL preseason

I get his not cut from stone but is he really that unfit? Seems to run out games very well to my eye.

I can’t believe his not a back up ruck on an afl list.

In saying that, have you seen how fat Sean Darcy is from Freo? Really fat and quite a good ruckman.

Jayden Davey worth a rookie spot? Anyone got info on him? I know bugger all about him

Two ACLs before the age of 18. Never did much in the VFL, averaged something like two marks, one tackle, and one goal.

, North Melbourne has now delisted 2 more small forwards in Charlie Lazzaro and Blake Drury. I know picking up a DFA from a cellar dweller can be dangerous, but let's face it - North forwards have not had a huge amount of scoring opportunity over the last few years.

The Mick Nolan era ended in the 70s

I reckon there would be 3-5 games per season I’d pencil in Crossley to play instead of English.

Any wet contested style game I would pick him over English. Far too often we have seen uncompetitive performances when conditions don’t suit him.

Maybe someone to invite to try the VFL side. His luck could turn around and we do have a need there but on current output doesn’t look near it.

nice skills with good leg speed. Hasn’t got a great tank. Also has some injuries. I doubt we go there.

What about when we play Obrien?

Who cares what he looks like if he can run out games. His body shape doesn’t seem to be causing injuries etc.

Plus it’s pretty hard for a 25 odd year old bloke that’s not in a professional environment and probably has to work a day job to look as chiseled as a league footballer. Being in a professional environment will help.

Given he was at gc when they were close to there lowest some would say he has never been in a professional environment.

Crossley would be an automatic inclusion against him

He played a very good game against us in the VFL kicked 3 or 4 goals. His pace seemed pretty good too from memory. Could he be a HHF that is a goal threat?
