if he learns to kick and select the right option when disposing of it then he will be close to our best midfielder
until then he will just be another Mattner/Connell
He has showed glimpses of getting this right. I felt he was well on his way to having this sorted out but seemed to go backwards a little after having his season interupted by injury.
I also have news for Crow supporters like me wh are fans of Knighter he said to my cousin who is one of his best friends that after his current contract with the crows expires he is coming back home to Melbourne and playing for one of the teams down here.
I just got tired about hearing stories about how bad he is and how many supporters he has so i just wanted to find out if he has any supporters
Knights reinvents himself as a sharpshooter
June 4, 2009
ACROSS his young career, Adelaide ball-getter Chris Knights has often picked up 30 disposals without being damaging.
But over the past four weeks, Knights has emerged as one of the Crows' most effective players while averaging little more than half that number of disposals.
A switch from midfield to half-forward on return from a facial fracture appears to have been the making of Knights, turning him from a prolific ball-winner with suspect disposal to a near-elite flanker with a marksman's eye for goal.
In this years draft he'd fetch your first rounder.CHRIS KNIGHTS
I was wondering what the chances are of him leaving sa. I think he would play the HFF exeptionally in our team. What would he be worth to the adelaide crows??
Not sure if he would be worth our first pick...8-9-10
i would enertain:
Monfries sa boy + 3rd round = knights
2nd round = knights
although i think we would be more inclined to give you our FRP which im noy convinced he is worth
He is not a goal kicking midfielder and along with his effeciency of his kicking that is the main area where he must continue to improve for the 2009 season
My reading on Rendell's thoughts about the 2009 draft is that the 2nd round this year is equivalent in standard to the rookie draft last year. In other words, draft picks outside the first round are almost completely worthless.
From that perspective, we'd take your 1st rounder or a decent player (NOT Monfries) plus a 2nd or 3rd rounder. We're certainly not interested in 2nd/3rd rounders alone and we have no interest in 4th/5th round picks at all as we won't be going that deep into the draft ourselves.
So.. he's not good enough to play in your midfield - but he should slot straight into ours? Right.....why not monfries? he was pick 12 or so as a gun midfielder but just cant crack into our mids. With 3 of your mids (goodwin, dewards,mcleod) retiring potentially if not this year the next one monfries would slot straight in.
i would think monfries(who else) + 3rd rounder pick 40 or so would be more than fair.
To the other arguments..the top 8-10 picks will be VERY good players
scully,butcher,lucas,morabito,stevens,panos,martin, cunnington,etc etc will all be very good players POTENTIALLY better than the one dymensional knights so im still not convinced his worth that pick unless his kicing improves drastically
