Think there was some highlights of him as a bottom ager IIRC Absolutely nailing goals from well outside 50 circulating in his draft year. This seems to have given some people the impression he’s a half forward flanker type, but club recruiters definitely viewed him as a highly skilled balanced...

That fact that Fisher and Dow didn’t play in finals means f all, clearly we realised that they would be leaving the club and they wouldn’t have even been considered at selection for the finals Fisher and Dow where playing some pretty good footy at the back end of the season, but when finals...

Think he only left cause freo offered a 1 or 2 year deal and Carlton offered similar money but on a 2 or 3 year deal He’d just come off he’s most consistent season of football so far and just went with the security of a longer contract, which he be crazy not too.

I know, I’ve read interviews with him saying how he loved living up on the Gold Coast With 3 top 6 pick, you guys definitely had to take him and back yourself to keep him, he’s at least done the right thing and had a very good year, keeping he trade value so you guys get a good return. He’s a...

I remember wanting Rankine over Walsh Mainly due how talented Rankine was and how badly we needed a player like him Many viewed him as the most talented player in this super draft But the go home factor was always a massive concern, think he may have even stated he wanted to play for the...

Harry’s just a class act, no ego over who’s the number one man in the forward line Charlie looks happier then Harry does when Harry’s clunking a big mark or kicking a ridiculously good goal Can tell they love playing together Massive win for us !

Dow’s game requires him to be psychical developed to be effective. He’s game is an inside mid, that’s good below the knees and has that explosive pace to break tackles and burst out of the stoppage. He’s been to slight to do this regularly at AFL level. He was drafted in the 2017 draft, so five...

Very accurate assessment, particularly from an opposition supporter. We do have a lot of highly talented players that could potentially play through the midfield Cripps and Walsh are the obvious standouts, but the next rung is going to determine how we go next year Cerra and Hewitt are good...

Looks like we picked up the best player in this years trade period, not that it was a particularly big year for player movement, in fact was one quietest trade period in resent years. I’m a bit meh on Cerra, from what I’ve seen of him “which admittedly isn’t much” he’s kind of like a Petracca...

What am I reading ?, if GCS had no intention of doing that trade, then why even mention Tralaor, why not just say pick one is off the table ? You said I was making s**t up, its been made pretty clear that I wasn’t, how about you man up and apologise? A simple “sorry mate wasn’t aware that...

Why would anyone make up stuff like that, what’s the pay off ?

Collingwood asked the question, what would it take to give up pick one. Gold Coast came back with the name Adam Traloar Collingwood declined that trade, god know why. Traloar not willing to move interstate is the only reason I can see as to why the trade didn’t get done. The AFL would have...

I do get the concept, from an outsiders perspective Pies midfield is pretty stacked, I can see that Traloar does offer a point of difference, with what he brings to that midfield, but the club knew he was coming into some big dollar contract years, Pies also knew the cap pressure would well and...

If you’re salary cap is that out of control, then all that means nothing. I could understand this kind of thing creeping up on a club pre 2000, but modern football clubs are so professionally run these days, it’s hard to fathom how this could possibly happen. I feel for Collingwood supporters...

Wow how did this happen, IIRC last year Collingwood inquired as to what it would take for GCS to give up pick one, presumably so they could draft Matt Rowell, GCS came back with Adam Traloar, If the Pies knew, which you would assume they did, how much trouble they were in, regarding the salary...

Yeah I get that, the players value is what the market is willing to pay. Crouch could be a gun, but there’s too many ?’s around him, for a club to risk a 5yr $750k deal IMO. I’m sure you guys don’t really think he’s worth pick 2 ban 2 compo is still a pretty good deal, you could use it to help...

No chance Brad gets the kind of money or contract that nets the Crows pick 2, was a very slim chance before the nose candy stuff came out, Saints have been burnt by this before with Carlisle trade, the whole AFL industry would see Brad as damaged goods, has never been an elite level player and...

Setterfield is making a move, Kids a gun, Smooth moving tall mid, regular racking up good stats through the midfield Use the ball really well, particularly for a 190cm+ mid, what has really surprised me though, is how well he tackles, kid goes into beast mode, getting great tackle numbers...

Cuningham will rocket up this board if he can stay on the park, most Carlton supporters have been hyping this kid up for awhile now, has a pretty rare skill set, can win inside ball and burst out of a stoppage, he’s hands are so clean, one touch player, particularly when running at full speed...

That does explain thing to some degree, but those 3 or 4 elite young SA talents, should of been apart of the Crows plans from there bottom age year, it wasn’t hard to see that they were some special talents, even if not in a rebuild mode, good list management should have identified them and...

Cripps stats might not reflect it yet, but he’s developing into a massive forward threat, at 194cm he’s overhead marking and clean hand below he’s knees, when pushed forward is a weapon, watched him kicked 4 and 38 touches vs Brisbane last year doing exactly that, He’s goals tally is tracking...

See I don’t think getting that top 3, to get Rankine or Luko was that far out of reach, list manger just needed to get creative, with picks like 8,13,16 plus future picks and potentially one of the crouch brothers, remember this is GCS and they make trades like Weller for pick 2, It could have...

yeah there might be a role player or two from those mentioned, but that 2018 draft was stacked with elite SA talent, we all knew this even a year out in 2017, 3 of the uber talented top 5 from SA doesn’t happen often. But then passing on Hatley another very talented 190cm local mid and Caldwell...

really could have regenerated the list, had so much currency to move up, yes you might have had to pay overs, but everyone does, if they want to move up into those premium top 5 picks, if you can land a absolutely elite level talent, particularly a local one, you just pay it and build a list...

It’s a major win, if when u get those stack of first round draft picks, if you can nails those picks, it can set you’re club up big time with players to build a list around. Say what you want about SOS, but he nailed the 2015 draft, we finished last and got pick one, which helped, but he turned...

People like to forget, all 3 of SA lads in contention for pick 1 had ?’s regarding flight risk, pretty sure all 3 said they’d like to play in south Australia at some stage, Walsh was the safe pick that filled a major need, less upside, but more consistent. The other knoc on Walsh is he’s...

Seems to be very one dimensional, he’s a gun contested ball winner and has elite hands, but doesn’t offer much outside of that, doesn’t hit the scoreboard regularly or even offer much when pushed up forward, the best mids like Cripps Danger and Bontempeli can go forward and be almost another key...

Think one of the biggest missed opportunities, the crows have had is the 2018 draft, with the players they lost the draft picks that came in Lever 2x 1st round picks Cameron 1st round pick McGovern 1st round pick Plus there own 1st and future 1st They needed to hit that draft hard and land at...

Yep, SOS herd the deal was stuck and needed a 2nd rounder to get done, we had an extra 2nd rounder tied to gws, SOS traded GWS future 2nd (35) for picks 48 56 and 70 Could have got a better deal for that future 2nd rounder, wasn’t looking to trade the pick and didn’t have to get involved, but...

yeah I agree, Weitering isn’t number 1 on this list, Oliver has put together 4 seasons of extremely good football, he would have to be#1 at this stage. Does he have the potential to be in the best 3 mids or the best midfielder in the comp one day ? I’m not sure, he’s that guy, but he isn’t...
