Croad, Rawlings....or Richo

[Tim56]

Which of Croad, Rawlings and Richo would you prefer to see at Melbourne next year?

I would go:

1. Croad
2. Richo
3. Rawlings

Croad if he's cheap.

Rawlings will simply cost too much and has the wrong attitude, ditto Richo.

1. Rawlings
2. Croad

1. Rawlings






















2. Croad
3. Richo

People must realise that Rawlings isn't old. He is 25, and IMO has 5 good years left in him.

His knees aren't bad at all. In fact, he rarely misses games through injuries.

I would be sad to lose pick 5, but Rawlings is a star.

He'll be 26 in a week, making him 27 at the end of next year. As a forward he finished 3rd on the Hawks goalkicking behind Thompson and midfielder Lekkas. Calling him a star is going too far IMO. Was a very good CHB but doesn't have the pace to go with CHF's anymore so he was moved to the forward line. Takes a lot of marks but doesn't do a hell of a lot with it, and does have a questionable knee which could reduce his longevity.

I've heard that Rawlings has no cartilige left in 1 knee. Bone on bone isn"t good for the future

Bloody strong rumours that Rawlings has booked his bus tickets to Corio Bay.

And what a dumb move that will be. The pressure that will be on him will be ENORMOUS! Trust me, I live in Geelong and the pressure that is on players down there is huge.

That said, if we could spend Pick #5 better, then let him go.
