I'm glad Melbourne is playing hardball with Petty personally. As much as he would benefit the Crows I don't see him as an immediate need. We need a blue chip mid IMO. Paying way overs for Petty would be a mistake. In 2 years time he'll be out of contract and still relatively young. If we still...
He got a 2 year contract which is what he was after so I don't think this will bother him. I believe Crouch and Oliver can work in the same midfield. Sloane will probably be playing mostly reserves if this comes off.
Those guys aren't ready yet and they won't even be ready next season. Crouch won't take away midfield minutes from those guys, they'll all get their turn but with Matt there he can do the heavy lifting whilst the likes of Rachele, Pedlar, Dawson, Rankine and Co are the cream.
You're right about...
Charlie Cameron flatly denied any ties to Brisbane only a month or two before being traded. A lot of games go on before the season's end. I wouldn't take too much heed of this article.
It seems he is highly regarded with Nicks who has mentioned him recently in the press. I'd be spewing if we traded him or he asked for a trade but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. I expect he'll be offered a new contract before too long.
Pick 1&2 in this draft would've been a big step up for the club. Crouch will likely be pushing 30 when we next contend for finals or flag so I guess it was a gamble they decided to take.
