Chris Knights

[TigerGlory]

Alright, ill try and get it right this time.

Im PRETTY sure, hes a midfielder. Now that thats out of the way, listed on the Sunday Footy Show as being "Trade Bait". I know thats probably rubbish, however, ive seen a bit of him, and hes a nice in and under player, would suit us nicely. Is a Victorian too, so the go home factor would help us.

Question: Would you consider getting him, and what would we have to give up?

I would think our first round pick would do it.

 

[sante]

1st Rounder and probably Schulz would do it, so no. His field kicking is not great. Our midfield has depth coming through and I'd like to see us continue developing players like Edwards, Connors, Jackson, Polo etc.

 

[beaver fever]

He fails 2 out of 3 points needed to be considered a trade option. He doesn't fill a list need and is a shocking kick.

No way is he worth a first rounder sante let alone that plus a player

 

[_RT_]

Pass.

 

[cormick]

Hes a ruckman

Not worth giving up what we'd have to, so I'll pass too

List need? We need some more midfielders. One can never have enough midfielders.

Knights is a proven ball magnet, and had a 76% disposal efficiency this year, which is pretty good for a shocking kick. Not to say that our own players wont come good, but he is already better than our "other" up and comers in Edwards, Polo, Jackson etc, and hes around the same age.

Considering hes only 21, it would be an appropriate use for our first draft pick, which could be another JON.

Get your hand off it.

Its only hypothetical of course, since i doubt the Crows will trade him. However, if he was on the market, i think we'd be crazy to let him pass.

Never seen a side comprised completely of midfielders. Until that day comes your point is null and void. You could have said one can never have enough good midfielders and you would be wrong again because he is an average run of the mill player with poor kicking skills. 76% you say? That wouldn't be bad if he was an extractor type, but he is outside and needs to do better.

Considering hes only 21, it would be an appropriate use for our first draft pick, which could be another JON.

Or it could be another Riewoldt and with luck might actually address a glaring list need.

if they want petts ,king , casserly , +3rd or 4th rounder then YES

why............... i like his name , just give him number 33

 

[Richmond 2014]

trust me, if richmond were considering trading for this guy we would not have to trade first round pick, the do not rate him at the Crows, he gets dropped adn doesnt get enough chances, likley 2nd rounder and maybe, maybe a 3rd

Like who? And WTF....since when


For the last 2 years he has been an automatic selection at the crows.

For the record – the SFS may have labelled him as trade bait but he isn’t. He is very happy in Adelaide and we are very happy to have him. He isn’t going anywhere.

And by the way, never trust anyone who says ‘trust me’

I don't think he is worth that either. The Crows would want that IMO and thats why I said 'no' also.

who the hell are you thinking about
knights has been very good and the only time he didnt play this year was when he did a hammy
i had the kid in my dreamteam and he was killing it most of the year
if he wanted to come to richmond wallace would be creaming in his pants
and there is no way adelaide will let him go

 

[HBK619]

I'd LOVE to go for him, is young(turns 22yo on the 25th), can really find the ball(averaging 20+ disposals in last 2 years, 20.8 per game this year in 16 games), is very good in and under(we desperately need another), has great defensive pressure(51 tackles in 16 games), and has goal sense(was a goal kicking midfielder in his junior days, Craig has taken that out of his game, we can get it back into his game).

I'd offer 2nd rounder and Schulz for Knights(and maybe 4th/5th rounder).

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I'd rather him than Copeland.

Get ****ed.

Mate, why are you so keen to piss our first pick up against a wall? Over the last 30 years we have specialised in hard footy players who can't kick. We now have Cotch, Delidio, Tuck (ok disposal), Foley (hard nut - ok disposal), White and others to rotate through, who can use the footy to advantage. Let's just focus on selecting the best available talent and leave fringe players alone. We need a ruck (don't know how Putt will develope), so lets draft one. It's not worth getting Kerr etc if it will mean giving up a pick and a couple of quality players (same goes with Warnock). End rant now.....

that makes him a walk up start at the tigers dude. Its a pre-requsite with us.
