I wouldn't want that to happen personally. From a crow supporter perspective I believe Brad has the capabilities to be better than Neale. At best it would end up being a side ways trade for us, therefore not really much point.

If he does leave I can see trade negotiations taking a long time. He is a gun when full fit but that was 2-3 years ago. He has come back as a shadow of his former self. I have been watching him closely due to fantasy interest (has been killing me) and he just cannot get near it and has been chopping the footy up. This says to me that his body is still not right and you have to wonder if it will ever come good. Buying beware and off loading him might just be the best thing Adelaide can do.

Aren't some of those boys on the veterans allowance?

Veterans allowance is in the process of being phased out, and is already only limited to $100k per player.

Ok. Thanks for letting me know.

He needs a full preseason. Will be better next year if he stays fit.

Would a first round pick (around #10)get the deal done for Crouch?

Crouch for Lennon + Vickery? Lennon seems to be injured all the time too, both have a lot of potential and vickery as a sweetener?

they both want to be shipped off to Adelaide?

why not? vickery is uncontracted and will have to take a pay cut probably.

Lennons a young lad from Melbourne trying to break into senior football

Don't worry though these two wouldn't get it done
Chuck in a second rounder atleast

I would do that as I can't see Vickery ever being anything but a role player and the jury is out on Lennon, although i think he can play.

Not sure what is in it for the crows though as they already have a great forward line and Menzel who is similar to Lennon sitting in the reserves.

Plus Vickery is a FA.

Well Jenkins might leave, Lennon can be useful as a backup plus Jenkins is 27, not exactly young. Can Lennon be used as a tall midfielder? Crows can definitely do with Vickery as a backup ruck. I think Port should look at Griffths and vickery. They are both out of contract arent they? what will they cost?

 

[Austin_McCrabbs]

Yeah he is exactly the type of mid we need.

North supporter as a kid too

So was Caddy

Why is he pooping on the ground?

Makes you wonder about the regular toilet facilities

Where's the benefit to the crows in this trade?

Right now. Yep.

That said, if Crouch stays injury free and finds some form in the 2nd half the season, probably not.
