Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[hendo8888]

The Trade Period preview on the AFL site has our man Curtly coming for 'most likely' a third round pick, if it means much of anything ...

Would be great if true. But the AFL site is about as accurate as a blind person with a dart board at this point. If we manage to get him across with our third, that gives us a lot of flexibility to pursue some other players and hopefully score another couple players before the period is over.

Hey everyone, check this out!

Very handy link for almost every Bigfooty poster on the Adelaide board.

My pet cat is better than Henderson.


I don't even own a cat.

A hypothetical cat could beat our whole team though.

It's getting pretty tiresome, isn't it?

Ended a sentence with a question mark. Are you Bruce McAveney?

This board is ridiculous when it comes to young talent. Every time there's some young player with a bit of talent that might be on the market, everyone goes nuts and then when he decides to go to a club not named Adelaide it's all "wasn't that great anyways" sort of responses. Bet the same thing happens if Anderson doesn't come to the Crows - although I do hope that's not the case.


Also think the calls that a second round pick for him would be a 'steal' are way off as well. It would be a good valued get to grab someone from a top club who was unable to work his way into the side this year, but he still needs to play at the next level which he's yet to show, we shouldn't be paying anymore than a second rounder imo. Much like Jacobs, he was a great value get but he wasn't a steal - he was a 4th string ruck at Carlton who wasn't getting games and we paid them correctly with a late 30's and 60's picks.

They also threw in the '8 years service' line.

 

[dylan123]

just top 5, not only #5. there is a lot of shite

Do wonder how much is down to the development of the clubs rather then the preserved poor quality of top picks of those drafts. I'm sure a lot of those guys have been Carlton/Richmond/Melbourne'd.

 

[Crouch#44]

Catching up on anything decent on this thread is draining

7 years and a couple games when we were in Victoria, anyway.

 

[Danger in Texas]

So let's get our heads around this. Everyone has their own opinions - Alex is not an exception. He's allowed to have them. If you think he's being an aggressor/annoying, just ignore him. It will make everyone's experience happier.

Oh shit, I forgot what this thread was about...

 

[Golumless]

Where does he fit?

FF: Betts - Jenkins - Cameron
HF: Lynch - Walker - Douglas
C: Crouch jn - Sn - Knight
HB: Smith - Hartigan - Lever
FB: Laird - Talia - Brown
Ruck: Jacobs - Thompson - Sloane

Interchange: Henderson - CEY - O'Brien - Lyons

Guess he could find a spot in the interchange bench but thats no guarantee he will play 22 games as we have a few other trades in the pipeline.

He'd be in front of all of our interchange, so would Hampton.

We need another 1-2 outside runners in that side as we are way to heavy with inside midfielders in that lineup.

I don't disagree. Hence why I feel his value would only be about pick 40.

 

[RePete]

Jaensch still has six months rehab to go and is no certainty to slot straight back in and Crouch will be eased back in very carefully as well. IMO.

VB is keeping Jaench's spot warm.

 

[Crouch#44]

The fact we Will get close to 1000 pages before trade week starts is an effort

Mainly filled with
Bennell
Menzel
Seedsman
Anderson
Hampton

Won't surprise me if we only get one of those names

 

[LaserMonkey]

Just found BF and am finding it interesting

My thoughts on a trade would be a:

Gold Coast. In. Pick 20, Out Smith, Gorridge

Hawthorn. In. Pick 29, Gorridge. Out. Anderson

Carlton. In Geelong. FY16 Pick 1, Kerridge, Walker
Out. Herderson. Menzel, P20

Geelong. In. Danger, Henderson, Smith
Out. P9. P29, FY16 Pick1, Walker

Adelaide. In. P9, Anderson, Menzel
Out. Danger, Kerriidge

Just interested on others thoughts

Crows dont get enough, Hawthorn make out like bandits and Geelong win in a HUGE way.

Was excited to read trade updates in sunday mail till i saw "keepers"....mckay, van berlo, henderson, wright....why did i bother?

I saw the same article, and was thinking who wrote this shit. VB and Kerridge keepers, are u serious. People keep going on about one game where kerridge kicked six. U can't live of that yr whole career. The guy is useless in traffic and like vb burns the ball continuously that's why he doesn't get game. Jaensch on the other hand was playing a career best yr up until his injury and Shaw we need for defensive depth where we r thin if a tall goes down yet they were put in trade column. These writers have no idea. How they get employment baffles me....typical corporate crap

 

[Bicks]

Can we move on folks.....

I can all but guarantee you that we'll get one.

Hopefully Seedsman/Anderson/Menzel interest compounds to something.

 

[Alex99]

Can we get back to arguing who ther bigger spanner is?

VB or Mackay?

Goodness me.

Unless that first for Danger in this article is pick 5 or above I wouldn't be happy with just a first or second.

 

[spenze]

WB wont offer him a new contract

Talia could refuse a trade to Sydney, Melbourne or any other clubs

Tho will force WB to delist M Talia

We could gain M Talia as a delisted FA

He'd have to keep his brother in the loop if that was going to happen
