Cats may well be interested in Doedee but not to replace a KPD in Taylor as they are different types.

This may be likely, but we shouldn't be categorically ruling out trading in young talent that meets a need.
Should be considering all options.

Then relisted I believe.
You can't ignore trades, especially young talent that wants to come home. Port ignored Scott Thompson initially and missed out, we ignored Pavlich and missed out.
I agree that we shouldn't necessarily be targeting a "big fish" 25-29 year old, however we should still be pushing hard for 23yo and younger talent that may be interested in coming home. Especially talents players starved for opportunity. Hateley's potentially one, Coleman-Jones another.
Unfortunately our club being a complete and utter mess played a significant part on potentially missing out on Aaron Francis and Bailey Williams whom would have been strong pick ups in this mold. Fantasia was never going to be worth the cost and Grundy is a relative pipe dream.

Yep, if there’s gettable established young talent it would be madness to not go for it in the hope the draftees you pick up make it.
I'd say he's a pointless target for them anyway, considering they have Stewart, who would basically play the same role?

Me neither. Unless we move Doedee to the midfield and he takes, he's at no risk of leaving. Mid sized defender who is already paid well would mean clubs will just steer clear, by virtue of costing too much for too little gain.

All Day Everyday, that's killing 2 birds by getting a player like De Goey(in our dreams). You always draft the best player available as in who will be the better player, you only draft for fit when those players are pretty equal. when trading for player or getting them as FA's you go for need and evereyone needs a De Goey type player. Plus he would be 25ish.

This is what the team needs or a High impact, Highly skilled mid. one or the other by a mile both would be even better, hopefully the Crows have one in the wings.
I'd say there would be stuff all to go spend given all the coaching payouts and the senior player contracts. Given the Crows had $900k for Tippet and never used that, then $800k+ for Danger and never used it, payed Gov $600k and had $600k for Leaver, traded out Leaver for Gibbs but then traded Charlie Cameron, Gov, Jenkins and Eddie out as well. It's hard to know who or what the Crows spend the salary cap on. You would think the Crows would have either spent $1mill on getting a Star Mid from another team or they have that much going forward.
I think the Crows also pay the Scrub/Average at best interstate player overs all the time. I'd say Rat, Kelly and Brain Fartigan are on 20% more than they should be. Mackay and Douglas have been over payed more than anyone outside of Tippet but Tippet was the worst and most obvious case of overpaying so they stay.
A whale?

Why not offer 1.5 million per year to Patrick Cripps - just to heap more misery on Carlton

It's funny I get laughed at when saying TD has captain qualities. Absolutely agree with you here, so long as that other ACL doesn't go.

I personally wouldn't be picking Hately over Jones.
Jones will be a bonafide star if he puts it together, and there are good signs that he'll manage to do that so far.

Each to their own.. and I know this really doesn't say much about either lad as I do rate Jones as well.. just a bit of CDFC bias going on here.

About 6 other vic clubs will be though
Don’t think it will matter as I think he will be captain within 3 yrs . I more fear another ACL and another Andy Otten like career with so much promise cruelled in some part by injury
Please no
