Was talking to someone from the crows and they were saying that they are looking to trade pick 9 (Carlisle) and pick 13 (freeman) to saints for pick 5 and a player and then trade pick 5 and kerridge to us but he won't tell me who they are after. Any ideas??
Why would saints trade pick 13 for freeman, he's had two injury riddled seasons. I think saints second maybe too high at pick at 24. He might have potential but he is uncontracted and I think they could easily walk him to the pre season draft.

Could only be pick 1. Would want to be more for us that 5 and Kerridge though.

Firstly, you've hardly if ever watched this guy play and are relying on BigFooty to tell you why he's like as a player and person. Secondly, you don't even know if he will still be available by then and thirdly he is an unknown in the AFL system and it remains to be seen I he can play other positions which means you would've given up a best and fairest winning on baller (the most important position on the ground) for a third tall defender (the least important position on the ground). Have a think about what you're posting.

I did think about what I posted and I couldn't give a flying about giving up a B&F winner, I barrack for the club not the player.

Francis will be a ripper player, can play at both ends, has size and is competitive.

Pretty much the baseless response I was expecting.

Here, read it for yourself :

Aaron Francis (10/8/1997. 191cm, 81kg. West Adelaide)


Tall defender/forward/midfielder

AFL biography: Tall forward/defender with good athleticism and game sense. Knows when to come off his opponent and impact the contest. Makes smart decisions with his disposal and consistently breaks down opposition attacks by winning the ball back in the air. Also a dangerous forward, he kicked four goals against Western Australian in an outstanding performance. Averaged 15.7 possessions and 5.7 marks across six games at the NAB AFL Under-18 Championships winning All-Australian U18 honours. Member of the NAB AFL Academy.

"He's an interesting player. His game against Vic Metro at AAMI Stadium this year was clearly the best game of football at this level I've seen. He caught every ball that went inside defensive 50 and just dominated the game. I think he'll end up at playing at either end of the ground, as a third defender or someone who could go forward and kick some goals. He'll go into the midfield at some points, but he needs to get his running capacity up a bit more. He has the speed and the agility and the power, but his endurance will need some time and some work. He's a very quiet kid, he doesn't say a lot, but he's a different person when he's out on the ground. I had our runner come back to me a few times and tell me Aaron was running the show out there."

Brenton Phillips, SA talent manager.

Basing it off a write up in the age. Way to prove my point for me :thumbsu:
