Wow...yet another dribbling little Carlton kiddie with a Judd reference in their username that joined Big Footy after the the end of last season trolling the Richmond board ...amazing.....
Better yet don't bother at all. Why the need for Kerr to help our midfield when we have a replacement for Johnson already on our list. Would much prefer going after a trade that fills a need rather than a want. Will be a much easier deal to achieve than trying to organise the picks WC wants for Kerr.Supposedly he didnt go to a compulsory team meeting the other day.
If thats true, i'd say hes gone. I doubt he'd go for more than Judd to be honest. Hes no Judd, and since he IS on a contract, im hoping we dont pay over the bill for him. Sure, have a crack at him, but if they ask for to much, then dont bother.
Thats all well and good but why do we need him when we have a ball winner of our own to come back in Coughlan, seems everyone has forgotten about him. Add Coughlan to the mix alongside Deledio, Tuck, Foley & Cotchin and it gives us the same result. Most opposition sides wont have enough taggers to cover all of them so 2-3 of them will get a free run weekly. If we were to land Prismall or Thomson, for a player and 3rd rounder, as well we would then have a much better outcome than only getting Kerr for our first round pick plus the likelihood of having to trade to get another. Remember we have problems in other areas, most notably talls. Keeping pick 8 gives us a very good chance to add a player that fills that need.Lets have a look at the pluses Kerr can offer us though.
Im with you on not going overboard. If the WCE demand everything, there is absolutley no way we should agree to it. However, if they are fair with us, then we should definatley have a go.
Kerr is a proven midfield performer. With or without Judd or Cousins. He played without Juddy and Cousins for a large majority of 2007, and actually played arguably his best season. He played so poorly this year because he had absolutley bugger all support. At Richmond, he'll have Tuck, Deledio, Cotchin and Foley to support him too. He'll have great support, BUT he'll make our midfield look far better, and theres really only two senarios.
1) Kerr gets heavily tagged out of games. Alright, thats to be expected. But Tuck, Foley and Deledio are now proven midfielders that can tear a game to bits if they get the chance. Cotchin, with a pre-season and some muscle could do anything. So lets not cancel him out either. We are also not forgetting that Kerr CAN handle a tag pretty well, so its not like he wont be contributing either.
2) Opposition coaches start to target one of Tuck, Deledio or Foley and let Kerr loose. We know what Kerr can do when he runs free. With our discipline and game plan, Kerr could very easily go to that 30+ possesion game winner he was in the 06/07 season with the Weagles.
And what if Coughlan gets back to his best? Not saying its a definate. But our midfield would be without a doubt, one of the best in the league with Kerr, Tuck, Coughlan, Foley, Deledio and Cotchin. I'd also like to point out that one of Kerr's best attributes is his tackling and physical presence, which is exactly what Wallace wants on the field.
In my opinion, somebody we should definatley look at recruiting.
...face it kerr will be too $$ for most clubs and he will stay with a long term contract. Its the contract length which is the only sticking point.
yes you do hold the card...we will bow to richmonds needs..all hail the tiges
