News Brad Crouch to Saints (STK make offer; Band 3, ADL to match?)

[Fox_River_18]

Almost certainly.

We'll strut out at 4:59pm like Vince McMahon only to announce we didn't match.

I reckon we won't even have the balls to do that. We will just remain silent past the deadline. In which case silence is taken as not matching by the AFL.

flew into Adelaide this morning.

Wouldn’t he have to isolate for 14 days now?

 

[Crows I Am]

That is a woeful outcome.

Agreed, I posted it as my prediction, not my preference.

 

[Mutineer]

Wouldn’t he have to isolate for 14 days now?

Strange Theo wasn't there to meet him?

 

[Crow_Magnon]

The comment that the Crouch boys aren't that close is absolute and total bullshit....that I do know for a fact is absolute bullshit.

Clean the brown matter out of your eyes and focus...Nobody has suggested Brad is a great kick or even a good kick....but you did state that Treloar was a good user which shows you really don't watch footy too closely. Nobody that watches AFL footy closely could possibly have Treloar down as a good user.

Brad's a good user!

Is it still 2 weeks quarantine for Victorians if allowed in.

 

[Thetrader15]

Will this all go through at 4:59pm today just for the drama?

AEST

 

[Murray2503]

If he goes into the draft, just redraft him.

You know that isn't going to happen. The crows don't want him and he doesn't want to play for the crows. You would honestly have a player back that has treated our club with contempt for 12 months and then comes out and says the club should take pick 23 while shitting all over the club? Who the **** does he think he is. Match and get pick 17 which we all know in the end they will hand over. If they pullout no player will ever go to them again. Worse case if it falls over (which it won't) he can nominate for the psd draft and get lowballed by a club he isn't interested in being at.

 

[Mutineer]

Brad's a good user!

No he's not, but not too many that play inside mid get the the time or space to pinpoint their kicks either.

 

[relapse]

Is it still 2 weeks quarantine for Victorians if allowed in.

No idea, but very good point.

I didn't even think of that, sounds like it could be bullshit then.

Put the pressure all on Brads and St Kilda. We dont lose anything that we have now (Brad excluded). + $600k + in our cap.

 

[thebirdman 24]

??? Never heard anyone say this before about a Crouch.

There is a lot to like about Brad but he is not a good user, especially by foot. We used to complain about Dangers kicking but Brad is next level poor by foot. This is why he will never be A grader.

Brad's a good user!

Unless you mean drug user then i agree.

You would think the media would have got wind of it and had people at the airport which generally seems the case?

 

[Thetrader15]

You are looking from a trade perspective - not an FA perspective. It doesn’t matter what the Saints get only what we get

So Crouch and 39 for 17 - still not good enough.

Would rather see Saints give Dunstan to Carlton (rumoured this morning) for Carlton pick 27 - we do the above deal and end up with 17 and 27 with 39 going back to Carlton

st Kilda - out Dunstan in Crouch
Carlton - out 27 in Dunstan and 39
Adelaide - out Crouch in 17 and 27

Still a bit meh, I think it'll be the 2021/1 that we get, not 17.

Saints:
In: Brad
Then:
Out: Dunstan, 2021/1
In: 23, 49

Adel:
Out: Brad, In: 23
Then:
Out: 23, 49
In: 2021/1, 27

Carl:
Out: 27
In: Dunstan

So the nett is:
Adel: Brad, 49 -> 27, 2021/1
Saints: Dunstan, 2021/1 -> Brad, 23

 

[spenze]

3, we have to delouse them as well

 

[Samcro24]

Why should it?

Family is family.

Footy is their job

TSRs point was that it wouldnt effect where Matt plays, which you have essentially just agreed with.

Cam Luke with the rare media view that crows deserved band 1

 

[Mutineer]

Nope, he said people assumed they were close...as in they're not. They are as close as most brothers are...fact.

This one area where I do have a little "inside" info.

They are 2 quite different characters but they are quite close still.

That's a great deal for St. Kilda, but a TERRIBLE deal for us.

 

[Vhaluus]

No he's not, but not too many that play inside mid get the the time or space to pinpoint their kicks either.

Surely when someone says that they're a good user, they're not talking objectively for a football player and more in relation to the position they're playing?

I'd say for an inside mid Brads a decent user of the ball.

Sure he's not going to be as good as an outside mid or a half back flanker, but that's not really a fair comparison.

 

[Pick4To6]

Wouldn’t he have to isolate for 14 days now?

Depends if he went back to Victoria or stayed in Queensland.

I think I read somewhere, some Victoria players were going to stay in the Gold Coast to avoid lockdown.
