His stats for the 2019 season are not too bad for a 22 year old 203cm forward/ruck playing in a sh*t team. Not sure why he didn't play this year though. We could probably grab him cheap as and we will have plenty of cap space. He could be a bust, or he could be pretty decent.

Obviously preferring king and Corbett to him

Comes in for Wood

I'd say too tall to have brown larkey and Wright.... I'd more say he is depth. Ie if brown or larkey injured or out of form.... this year when either has been injured or out of form we haven't had that depth and as a result have had to throw walker fwd as a makeshift or use daw which neither have worked

King and Day, with Corbett the smaller marking target I'd say.

 

[the flying ham]

I'd take Peter Wright in a heartbeat. He's either a back up ruck or a back up forward.

Wright would be a better ruckman than all 3 which surprises me why he can't displace Day or Corbett

At 190cm I think they must be playing Corbett for structural reasons, although I watch * all of GC so its all just a freakin guess from me.

I don't think you make a play on a high draft pick on big coin for 'depth'

BAND 2 COMPENSATION?!

We match it, nothing short of a first rounder for Wood, if they want him they need to trade, or offer up Rampe in return.

 

[krakouers]

I think this is the year we get Leigh Montagna.

I hope we set our eyes higher,

I hear Barry Cable is free

Ah yes forget about day too... quite clear why not getting a game then

I’ve spoken to Barry and he is interested. Just needs to check how it will affect his pension before making a decision.

Ok maybe depth wrong word.... alternate options

Corbett is an endurance beast, he gets up and down the ground more like a midfielder than a key forward. I'd say that's why he is ahead of Wright.

To summarise this AFL Insider Trade page:
- Paul Puopolo to join us
- Higgins leaving - Pies, Tigers, Saints and Blues interested
- Taz leaving - Not happy with the direction

- Williams to join us - tabled 700-750k 5 year deal
- Finlayson to join us - 450k for 3 years
- Corr to join us on 5 year deal
- Ahern to Essendon
- Majak to Western Bulldogs
- Polec - Saints, Bombers and Bulldogs interested
- Saad - Were interested
- Wood to sign a 3 year deal worth 400-450k for Swans (This is not 2016)

Fun to read but apart from the Corr one, all trash haha.

On Paul Puopolo, spoke to one of his ex coaches about him way back and he said he was one of the hardest workers he'd seen in his time in the AFL system. Not hugely talented but gave 100% all the time and just one of those blokes who would just work himself into the ground. He's 32. I wouldn't be against a one year playing/assistant type deal to show our youngsters how to train in an elite environment. We are going to have a huge clean-out but we just can't get 15 18 year olds, we need some experience heads around to show the youngsters how to strive in an elite environment.

All rubbish. It's a fake page and the owner has been outed.

So, what you are saying is, we need another rumour from him?

Hmm... Marley Williams to sign a 4 year deal at GWS in return for a 3rd rounder, which is then on traded to GC17 along with Atley for Will Brodie with their 1st coming back?

So Mase is not getting $1 Million from the Swans next year? Dammit!

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Mason would actually be a good fit at The swans. The SCG suits his style of play perfectly.

 

[WD Roo]

This is the best yet

View attachment 961807

Lock it in quickly, I'll drive him up to Sydney if the border re-opens. Love the potential but the game to game effort is not there.

 

[krakouers]

All rubbish. It's a fake page and the owner has been outed.

God Damn you! I wanted Walters!

 

[Shinboner1]

I can see us giving Xerri a set spot in the side as a ruck/forward as it looks like he'll be our goldy replacement in 2-3 years and needs consistent games asap.

Brad Crouch’s suitors – including Geelong and Essendon – will be invited to register their interest in the best-and-fairest winner by next week as he assesses his future.

Crouch will play his last game of the season against Richmond, with the Crows having notched three wins in a row since his return to the side from injury in Round 15.

Adelaide is totally open to Crouch leaving should he reach the threshold for a first-round free agency compensation pick which would give them a second top-three pick in December’s draft.

But they could also match any bid that fell short of a deal likely to hand them that selection given he has said he is keen to remain.

Crouch has battled injury this season but in his best-and-fairest winning season he averaged 30 possessions, 98 ranking points, 10 contested possessions, 4.6 clearances and 3.7 tackles.

Rival clubs have often wondered if he does enough with his possessions but there are enough clubs desperate for inside midfielders that he will find a home if he leaves.

His manager Garry Winter told News Corp yesterday he was keen to solidify his future but would not disclose interested clubs.

Interested parties have been told Crouch wants a long-term deal on a significant price tag.

“We are getting to the end of the season where all clubs are considering what they are doing so we have made it clear if they have an interest in Brad next week we will sit down and go through what the options are. There are numerous clubs who will put bids in for Brad and we will work through that with the Crows.”

Clubs believe Crouch would need to be offered a deal well in excess of $650,000 a season to be worthy of a first-round compensation pick.

But the AFL has always kept its recipe secret despite some clubs believing players need to be in the top five per cent of players over 25 ranked on salary to secure first-round compensation.

Corr signing leads to nervous Roos

NORTH Melbourne will secure GWS defender Aidan Corr on a long-term free agency deal and it doesn’t bode well for their mid-sized defenders in Marley Williams, Jasper Pittard and Jamie McMillan.

The Roos seem to be well-served by Robbie Tarrant, Josh Walker and the emerging Ben McKay but will likely slot in Corr as a close-checking stopper despite his 195cm frame.

Pittard and Williams will be told of their futures of exit meetings in coming days, with McMillan having left the club’s hub as he prepares for the birth of his first child.

He has kept Josh Bruce, Rory Lobb and Jack Ziebell goalless and kept West Coast’s Josh Kennedy to only a single goal in an excellent year.

Corr averages only 0.9 intercept marks a game and 3.3 intercept possessions, having played 98 games in eight seasons with the Giants.

The Roos are clearly confident he will slot into their best 22 despite being stuck with long-term contracts for Dom Tyson, Aaron Hall and Jared Polec.

They will have to hope his best football is ahead of him, having only turned 26 this season.

 

[giantroo]

Low finish gives Crows strong hand

ADELAIDE’S likely wooden spoon will also hand them the first pick in the pre-season draft, which could hand them significant leverage in December as they chase players like GWS midfielder Jackson Hateley.

St Kilda and Essendon keen on the Giants’ other young pick from the 2018 draft, the No. 11 in Jy Caldwell.

They would need to trade for him in what has become a familiar theme for the Giants - take early picks and if they come home then still get quality picks in return.

But if Central Districts graduate Hately, the 2018 national draft’s No.14 pick, did want to come home Adelaide would have a prized hand with that pre-season pick.

Clubs are always keen to get trades done to ensure the player gets to their destination smoothly but the Crows would have the pre-season pick in their back pocket as leverage in case the deal fell over.

Last year the Blues used the pre-season draft to secure Jack Martin, but had to put a massive price on his head to get him past rivals including the Suns, the club he had just left.

Crows checking out Brodie

ESSENDON has competition from Adelaide as clubs consider Gold Coast’s inside midfield bull Will Brodie.

Brodie has played only a single AFL game this year despite being selected as the No.9 pick in the 2016 national draft, with his second-last game a 26-possession, 10-tackle, six-clearance display against Carlton late last year.

But Matt Rowell and Hugh Greenwood have taken his spot as an inside mid at the Suns, with Greenwood having a better balance of clearances and defensive run and tackling.

It means Brodie will find a new home elsewhere, with multiple clubs looking for inside bulls who can farm the ball out to teammates on the outside.

The prospect of the Suns losing another top-10 pick would have filled them with dread only 12 months ago but right now Gold Coast looks stacked, having signed up every priority target past 2020.
