No suprise
Grundy's return home threat had the feel of using the crows as leverage to get a better deal at Collingwood

I disagree
For his size he is very coordinates and is actually a really good runner
A change in clubs may bring out his full potential

So GC want B Crouch but everything they have of any value is off the table?

I'm not sure Peter Wright makes it past just a good footballer ....looks simply a mark / kick man, with not a great ability on the ground ...poor recovery and inability to turn his opponent .....I'd say a slight improvement on the "current" Tex Walker player

Don't think GC have said they want Brad ....they said there's an interest, but IIRC they haven't had any meaningful discussions with Brads Manager
Seems a long way off, if you ask me

They booked Wok in the Box Norwood Parade to host the event. Right now they are at half capacity with RSVPs
Would we do pick 15 this year first next year and 11 next year for b crouch
Problem with that though is next years dragt is really compromised with all father and son picks
And academy picks
I'd do Brad and Matt Crouch for Pick 1 and 2. Take Rowell and Anderson.
I'd do pick 4 for Luko.
Then take a heap of mid-range picks to the draft and set ourselves for 2 years time.

Me too. But ideally I would like to trade both the Crouch brothers for overs, in which case we would have a tiny midfield. I’d like to see us play Knight as a tagger all year while blooding a new midfield alongside Sloane. And yes, I am perfectly fine in finishing bottom while we reset our list.
If they want Brad Crouch, and that's still a big "if", then they'd simply be posturing.
Its football trading 101, standard default position publically is "nothing is on the table" and work back from there privately.
If Gold Coast do want Brad and/or Matt, personally I think both would be a massive addition to their football club, then picks 1, 2 &/or Lukoscious need to be involved. Both are contracted and aren't going to be let go lightly.
Absolutely this.

If GC want Brad and Hugh, then we should swap for players, not picks. Straight swap for Luko and Wright*. I'd be wary of having picks 1 and 2 if those guys look like they might be heavily courted by Hawthorn in the next couple of years.
Sort out our talls now, use our picks to bring in mids, suck it up that next year we will have a softer midfield ( though it opens up spots for our year 3 and 4 players to stick their hand up) and use next years first on another young mid.
*I know people think that is GC getting screwed bt every other club plays hard ball with the expansion clubs and gets great deals, we should too. The are about to get two strong mids who will be at the club for 5 years, there is a premium to be paid when your club is a sinking ship

Let's hope Burton, Campo and Hart don't 'jump ship' as well!
Seriously though, take a note of the interaction between players and coaches, and IF there is some, which coaches are popular

Agree with most of this, but experienced players walking out the door? The only ones that have left are at the end of their career, cancers to the club or fringe players who won't be part of our next flag tilt
Nobody can say whether our u22 players are any good because we never give them a chance to play afl. Next year will show us hopefully one way or the other
Also i never said he was requesting a trade to us
I think there’s a lot of lunacy surrounding the age of players personally. 26-29 is a player’s prime. Keath, CEY, Greenwood were all in the first year or two of their prime. By saying they won’t be a part of our next flag tilt, you’re saying that we won’t be contending for the next 4-5 years.
I would suggest that a big part of the reason we won’t be contending is because these players have left. Greenwood is rated as a top 40 player in the league by the official player ratings (the ratings are flawed, but he still does some important stuff when out there and played in the correct position), CEY established himself as a top 5 mid at the club in 2019 and it was repeatedly proven that when he was out of the side we got beaten up in the middle, and Keath will easily finish in the top 3 in votes per game at the B&F. In return for all 3 of these guys, we’ll get the square root of **** all.
Jacobs is no loss, Jenkins is no loss, Betts is a big cultural loss but he only had 15 games left in him anyway so not fussed there, and if someone like Knight leaves, nobody will even notice.
Laird and B Crouch to me would be interesting. Both would fetch a nice price, and Laird certainly didn’t live up to that price in 2019, while Brad has major injury concerns. Tough to trade either, but cashing in prior to them potentially scooting out the door of a sinking ship in free agency is tempting.
And saying “if Lukosius requests a trade he’s gone” is heavily implying that he MIGHT do it. It’s also incorrect not just for the reason that there is 0 chance of him doing it this year. He’s contracted and 19 years old so he’s not going to sit out a year if they refuse to trade him. Just ask Bryce Gibbs and Tim Kelly.

Really, have a look at his stats as a FF.
He’s only had 1 good season, the rest of the time he’s toiled around at 1.5-1.7 goals per game.
To give you some perspective on that, in Tex Walker’s worst season (2018) he still kicked 1.82 goals per game. And that was off absolutely no preseason, carrying 10-15kg extra weight, and running around on 1 foot.
I know there is more to playing FF then just kicking goals, but at the end of the day, it’s a pretty vital KPI for the position

I find it funny how they're devaluing B Crouch as well.. "Not worth two first rounders" yet last year these same knobheads were saying Dylan Shiel was worth two first rounders..
