AFL Trade Whispers: Adelaide keen on Port Adelaide’s Billy Frampton, Brad Crouch close to accepting Gold Coast offer

AFL Trade Whispers: Crows ‘very close’ to losing prolific superstar

www.foxsports.com.au

SEN reporting Crouch is close to accepting an offer from the Suns. But I wonder if the Suns can possibly get this deal done without including Lukosius. Maybe with whatever they get for Jack Martin plus a swap of next year's firsts?

Given Lukosius has resisted the contract extension I wouldn’t be surprised if he becomes part of the equation.

Only way i see Lukosius being traded to the Crows is if its Crouch +#4

Laughable if he thinks he's worth $1m with his injury history.

The whole situation stinks. Obviously not entirely happy staying put though.

Hard to value too. He's not Kelly value... But you can only pay based on what he's done and is likely to do. Not what he should have become.

He's happy. Wants a big contract and Adelaide just got burnt on giving long term contracts. He has engaged the club to extend his contract, and if the club ponies up he will stay.
Was Polec not happy at Port?

Happy, but wants $1m

Sure.

This ends one way.

Geez. Adelaide should laugh at him and tell him he's dreaming! No way worth is the big head worth a Million with his injury history and disp efficiency kicking into the F50.

If he accepts a deal at the Suns let him walk and get the compo pick.

 

[PAFC_1870]

Gold Coast are a big chance I'd say..

They are desperate for mature players who can immediately impact. With salary cap exemptions and direct access to The AFL's bank account, they would probably offer him more than any other side... maybe even 1.2 mil + marketing deals and ambassador roles, etc, etc, etc... He could get up to 1.5 mil a year with all that other stuff worked into it, but outside the salary cap, so only 1 to 1.2 mil declared!

Why stop there, he could get eleventy ate million...

Would make the Boyd VFL experience look great value.

Contracted. It ends the way we want it to. If he wants to leave next year and we finish in the bottom 6, then the compo pick wont be much different to now.

If he wants to go, he's going this year

This isn't Kelly in a Geelong Premiership window we are talking about.

Managers have ALOT to do with it. Obviously the more Crouch gets the more they get, and at the end of the day they are employed to get the best deal for their clients. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Just like Gibbs wanted to go the year earlier, just like Kelly wanted to go last year, just like Francis wanted to go the year before.
One thing our club has done better is getting the best value for players leaving.
Pick 12 for CC when everyone was saying he was only worth a second rounder (shows how little people know about talent), pick 12 and McAdam for Gov, 2 firsts for Lever.
He ain't going anywhere unless we get overs. Big overs.

Jenkins? Love it, done deal.

His manager clearly is delusional

I think the crows will be paying to get rid of Jenkins, Value is 0

 

[THE_GUN]

Lol

Yes thats correct there is alot of LOL at the crows with how delusional the team its management and supporters have been since the 2017 GF
Time to accept reality

 

[bird_man]

Honestly, if I'm Lukosius and Crouch, Rowell and Anderson are coming in on long term deals, I'm staying put.

With 14 coming back to the crows. IF lukosius has not yet signed on and is angling at a move, GC would be stupid to not do a deal like that as it will be much less next year

 

[Crow till I die]

A deal is almost certainly going to involve one of those top picks or lukosius - very hard to see how it gets done otherwise. Maybe pick 14 and GC 20201st with a 2020 2nd going back...maybe

No way in the world are they giving up 1 or 2. Rowell and Anderson are already well in the Suns plans.

Only way they trade Lukosius out is if he demands it.

You think Crouch is worth pick 37?

I'd say that Crouch is not leaving. But if there is any chance of a deal, I'd be waiting to see what GC actually offer because it is not often that players of the calibre of B Crouch become available AND want to go to GC and the AFL may have input into what GC do if they are handing out PP's

The fox footy boys were pretty adamant crows will not deal unless it's one of those three on the table

Because of the RFA next year

With nothing coming back straight out Luko for #4 + Crouch
Another year and he may actually like the place and stay or want to get to Port if SA is what he wants

Another year and Crouch may go back to being injured and you get very little , Too many things with might's
Deal with whats here and now currently imo Crouch +#4 is a win for both clubs
