Any chance Dylan Shiel?
He was in Adelaide during their bye week.

I'm in this boat.
Look at what happened to Menzel, he was kicking goals at AFL level and still turned to sh!t. Yet they want us to pony up something decent for a guy who is playing in the magoos? GTFO, we're taking on all the risk here.
To be clear I would still be keen on Francis but only for free (third round pick or higher).

We would have to listen to BT say ‘Lllllllloyyyd’ every time he gets the pill would sour that for me!They reckon Jake Lloyd and Nic Newman getting crap offers at the Swans (could you even say they're lowballing them?

Heading to port thenPretty sure his missus is Chocco Williams' daughter, so that'd be why.
Is this public knowledge or something you heard?He requested a trade last year however, so if he does the same then that should favour the SA clubs massively.

Menzel had a whole bunch of off field issues, that he had no one to blame but himself for. Combine that with poor work rate/attitude and you get what you deserve.
Francis is in a completely different boat, it's apples and oranges. Poor comparison.
Francis would be a huge upgrade over Kelly. He's always had the talent and a level head, he's just struggled for well publicised reasons. A late 2nd/3rd is where he probably sits at this stage having played no AFL. If he gets back to playing AFL level and showing something, then expect that price to rise slightly.

So Francis doesn't have off field issues? Francis doesn't have work rate concerns?
It's an apt comparison.
I'm sure he would easily be an upgrade on Kelly if he lived up to his potential. But it's just that, potential. It's easy to get in trouble paying players based on potential.
If a club needs to trade in Mitch to get Jeremy via FA, they will want a quick trade deal... so we should be going for a premium if he wants out under contract. They potentially lose 2 players if no deal is done.And they want Mitch to try and convince Jeremy to go there.
Jake Lloyd is worth going after with a decent deal.They reckon Jake Lloyd and Nic Newman getting crap offers at the Swans (could you even say they're lowballing them? Surely not! Thought only the Crows did that). Lloyd would be a big get if we could nab him.
Yep, chocco was even saying the other day that he was reminding silk who he was playing for his 350th (us obv) as if that was meant to inspire him more.... he's been at the hawks for **** knows how long now, surely couldn't give 2 shits about the pear crows rivalry. The hate is still strong with ol chocmister. Shiel would be out of the will quicker than you can say 119!Heading to port then

Newman’s turning circle isn’t great. Vulnerable defensively.I wouldnt be opposed to Nic Newman either.
Lloyd is the cream of the crop obviously, but Newman could be a very handy HBF/winger squad player to add to the mix if we can get him cheap-ish
His kicking is very inconsistent for a player with decent skills, my biggest concern. But a tough player who at least runs hard and can kick 60m. Could maybe slot onto a wing for us in place of Atkins and provide small defender depth at the same time.
Unsure of why Horse doesn't rate him though. He looked great least year when he was consistently getting selected. Looks completely shot of confidence this year after they refuse to keep him in the side.

His kicking looks good but it’s not amazing, just decent.
Handy depth but not an A grade at all. Don’t see a heap of improvement in him either.
Lloyd on the other hand would fit in perfectly for us. Another two-way player to slot in.
With Smith Milera Lloyd running out of defence we would be a heck of a lot more dangerous on the rebound.
Tbf Menzel's work rate and effort were excellent. Just didn't fit in to the group dynamic. Never seen a player in space ignored so much to bomb it on Eddie's head in a 3 on 1.Menzel had a whole bunch of off field issues, that he had no one to blame but himself for.

Malcolm Blight could do it and would not be afraid to make tough calls. Did a similar job at gc i think or was maybe just on the board. Not sure.
