Pretty sure he hated being on the other side of the country to his family which would go a long way to explaining his indifferent form/attitude when he was at Richmond.

I reckon his present form corellates to being back where he is happiest.

 

[Mr Reliable]

Is he playing onball or mainly in the forward line?

IIRC he spent a lot of time at Richmond playing up forward, due to question marks over his stamina and (in)ability to be accountable in defence.

Does anyone else know where he mostly played at the Tigers?

Forward pocket I think.

SANDOVER medallist Andrew Krakouer could become a West Coast player as early as trade week, which begins in a fortnight.

The Gold Coast has also flagged its interest in Krakouer, and the 27-year-old could become an Eagle after a trade week deal between the two clubs.

Bizzare article. What pick could West Coast possibly offer to the Suns that would be of interest to them? Surely, if Krakouer is drafted, it would be with a low pick. The Eagles won't offer a top 40 pick for him. And what use is pick 50 to the Gold Coast?

I'd say the logic says that the Gold Coast will either ignore him, or pick him up for themselves.

The GC have first dibs on 10 (I think) ex AFL players, who they can then trade to another club. I dunno why they'd do it but they can, and no doubt will.

It was trully one of the best displays of a person on a footy field ive seen in amazing 10 goal last qtr Clarmeont came back from 18points down at then end of the 3rd to go ahead by 8 but who should kick the winning goal kraks IMO we should get him his just wat we need fast skilled outside player with great disposal

 

[Twinkletoes]

Geez I miss the FoxFooty channel, which used to show all individual states' grand finals.

 

[pantskyle]

the fact that GC can pick him just to trade him is ridiculous. Saying that i think he is WCE bound and am happy with that as long as it doesn't involve picks 4,26,28...
heard that you guys were interested is Q.Lynch so you can have him and i'll buy all Kanga members a ham and cheese sandwich to sweeten the deal.

 

[davo99]

oh please no

 

[Long Live the King]

No thanks. I think the game is littered with champion VFL, WAFL etc players who arent any good in the AFL. Maybe it was homesickness but I dont care. Let the eagles have him.

 

[desie]

Can't we just select him under the Father/Son rule?

 

[WesternRoo]

The WAFL is garbage, he is 28 next year and wasn't that good in the AFL when he was there.

No Thanks.

No desie, as mentioned somewhere above. The F/S rule applies to when players are first drafted only.

Thanks mate.

Seems a bit silly though, he qualifies and he's not currently on an AFL list.

GF's aren't up yet but I presume they will be.

We don't want Andrew Krakouer. We have his type covered tenfold.
