We will know more after the trade period ..but if we dont pickup a tall , a dfa or some else ..I could see us looking at cox or reid in and around our picks... as you know I like both those players ... XOH will probably look at our list and our targets and then look at the chances of being a regular some where else and selects another club ..

He could end up captain of the club if he's prepared to take play the long hand. Selwood and Danger not around for too much longer. He could be tempted by the prospect of playing alongside two legends for a couple of years before really establishing himself.

People on this board are seriously underrating Brad Crouch, the guy averaged 30.3 possessions last year in 22 matches and won their bnf. He is an inside beast and i for one would be happy to have him especially if we can send Danger forward more. Yes he has had injuries but he has played 95 games in 6 years which isnt terrible.

No concern about him being in the top three worst kicks in the AFL for those with over 100 kicks this year? He absolutely butchers the ball so I wouldn't be obsessing over his possessions.

Hahahaha this is the take of the year. "captain of the club" have you lost your ****ing mind. He is barely getting a game at GWS. Biggest most ridiculous call on cats big footy this year. I salute you sir this one is right right out there in crazy land!

You're an arrogant son of a bitch aren't you? Or just had too much to drink tonight? Do you know anything about him? He was described by recruiters as having some of the most developed leadership skills of any kid they'd interviewed. He's been in the system for 2 years. Of course he's not getting many games. It was a speculative post. FFs, grow up.

I don't drink and yes I do know about him as I work in the system. It was a ridiculous call to back up your argument that we should get him. Now I totally agree with going after him because he could develop into a nice player but was just calling out the absurdity of what you said IMHO.

He's 20 and got injured you fool.

His leadership was touted as one of his big strengths and he captained Vic Metro. He obviously has some leadership skills.

Yeh, I’ve heard you trot out “I work in the system” a fair bit on here....you have an opinion like anyone else. What I said was “he could” not “he will” become captain. He’s been touted to be of captaincy material - he captained Vic Metro - so the statement isn’t “absurd” at all. He may not get there but if we are going to look at him I believe it will be largely due to his leadership abilities as well as his playing abilities. That is not unreasonable.

They will and we will say no. We will offer some 40s pick and they will say no. hence he will stay there.

So similar to Steven last year

Prior to the trade period weren't Saints fans going on about Constable & our first round pick for Steven & like a 3rd round pick?

I'm not totally sold on Higgins, especially with list reductions - but if the club is interested, hope they walk away if the asking price is too high

I think we need to draft a key forward if we can't trade one in but I like your thinking.

Given the lack of exposure, I'd be reluctant to target KPP would our picks this year, they have the smallest margin of error from being good to okay to being useless at AFL level. With our early picks I'd be happy with 3 mids/flankers with decent mix of size, skills and athleticism. We should be looking for our next Guthrie and Duncan.
 
We would be better off getting Ablett to stay another year than recruit Higgins. He would’ve been a good addition to the team in the past. His kicking skills would certainly be handy. Where will we play Steven, Higgins, Selwood and potentially Crouch? Along with Guthrie, Menegola, Danger and Duncan. That’s before thinking about Parfitt or any young mids.
 
I understand the frustration of wanting to get a ruck and only seeing us go for other players. But we can only get who wants to come and work with what we can. I’m sure if there was a quality ruck available we’d trade one of our picks for them.
But who is that ruck that’s available?

There are some that will be available but time will tell if they are an improvement on Stanley. If Stanley was available most weeks we wouldn’t have as much of an issue. At a minimum we need someone we can rely on week to week.

Would hate to see Parfitt go to Adelaide. Don't think it'll happen and we'd be cutting off our nose despite our face if we did let him go there.


Edit: actually, would hate to see Parfitt go ANYWHERE.

Why would he go, he is in our best 22 and playing finals. If he goes to Adelaide they won’t play finals for years!

Kicking definitely a concern but can be managed with using him to his strengths, I think he was asked to do way too much for Adelaide. Bigger picture the teams kicking is probably going to hurt us but looking at our recruiting we don’t seem to care.

Oh that's a definite annoyance, but, I also know if he's the one dishing it out, then it won't be as much of an annoyance. He's also pretty quick off the mark, which a lot of people don't realize.

Thought he'd be a better fit at Richmond due to their emphasis on getting the ball forward at all costs, but still think he'd add something as a contested bull in the middle allowing Danger to go forward, and Guth, Menegola, Parf and Duncan to provide run and good disposal

None whatsoever, Danger is not much better by foot and he is a superstar, Crouch is an extractor and exactly what we need, midfield grunt.
