What's he worth?

Third rounder for mine. Given that holds no value to Adelaide at this point (more draft picks than spots on the list), wouldn't surprise me to see this deal get done with a pick swap/upgrade of picks of some sort.

Unless
a) it somehow forms part of the Bell trade to Brisbane (Mayes coming home?).
b) Blues third rounder gets used by Crows on Hampton

Do Blues fans want him?

 

[MaddAdam]

We should get him and put him the 2s to guarantee he can never hurt us again.

What are his selling points?

Seems like a solid defensive mid who can also go forward and kick a few goals? Similar to Taylor Hunt?

A third rounder sounds right and given how thin the draft is this year, and how many second round picks we'll have we should take it.

 

[La Dispute]

IIRC we were pretty keen on him in his draft year too.

From all accounts his endurance is elite - he actually beat out Van Berlo in some of the time trails during the pre-season.

I would see him as a big bodied defensive midfielder who could become a pretty good tagger. Wins a fair bit of the football, skills are neat without being amazing. Would be a good pick up for Carlton and would fit into the best 22 straight away I would suspect.

NO

Round 4 pick or walk

 

[hippyhippy]

He will guarantee wins against the kangas... so possibly 2 free wins a year. Don't know why Richmond aren't interested since they're Norths bitches.

If we can't get better than second rounder. .id rather keep... he had a s**t 2015 due to injury. .injured all year

 

[MaddAdam]

He's kicked something like 10 of his 25 career goals against us, the little s**t.

Given we're now on the rebuild we'd be looking to add a few harder bodies rather than turning to flaky outsiders like Tutt.

Sounds like he fits a need.

 

[hippyhippy]

He already is s good tagger. . Had done the job on many big names. Will easily be in carltons best 22... should be in the crows best 22 if he wasn't injured

 

[Extortion Threat]

I've never understood why Kerridge can't get a game in front of guys like Van Berlo, Wright or Mackay. Would be an decent pick up for a team like Carlton.

 

[Bic]

I would take him for a 3rd rounder. Would help replace Tom Bell's void, and I daresay would play the same position Tom did this year for Carlton.

Injury...

 

[philthy05]

Carlton have something like pick 38 for their third rounder .... So if he is gonna nominate anywhere it's probably not a bad result for the crows if he nominates the blues

 

[rocket18]

I'd wish him well, he has been poorly treated by the club and I reckon he would do alright given a chance.

What about a straight swap for Menzal?

 

[Croweater23]

Yeah, I'm never dissatisfied when a player attracts interest from a bottom two-three finishing club.

As above, if we don't get a reasonable pick for him I would like to keep him (granted he is willing to stay). He's a better contributor than Wright IMO. Elite endurance.

Not entirely convinced that his only role is a defensive one, though we haven't really had the opportunity to see him flourish in any other role (combination of injuries and opportunity).

Think a Carlton trade would be a decent result for all parties if AFC play their cards right.

 

[JPetro83]

NO

Kerridge would be in your top 10 best players if he went to Carlton. he would easily make your best 22..

Come to grips with Menzel , not Menzal ...
Then get back to us with your player ratings ...

 

[JADED]

I don't think we'll see any first round compos so Carltons 2nd rounder should stay around 20.
Their 3rd pick, currently 38 seems slightly under but its what they have.
I rate him at at least a pick 35.
Don't shoot him down blues fans. He's worthy of someone's best 22.

He'd probably push out Dale Thomas

Their 38 is too low, and useless to the Crows since they won't be going that deep into the draft, but 20 is probably too high. Maybe bundle him up with the 28 we got from the cats and get Carlton's 20 and maybe their 3rd? Or just take the 38 and bundle it with the 28 and get a higher pick from one of the northern clubs who need points for an academy pick?
