Doughty a Tiger?

[bionicsasquach]

What do you think? he seems to answear all of our problems and i really think Adelaide would be willing to part wiht him. What do u think we should give up if he was available?

 

[peejay]

Don't even know who he is !!!!!!

 

[bionicsasquach]

Young Adelaide midfielder, played all 25 games last year and for some reason fell out of favour with selectors(not because of injury) in and under midfielder who averaged about 12 disposals this year, a real in and under player who gets the hardball adn can sneak forward

cheers!

If they fall out of favour at a team that makes the 8... then no use Richmond trying to get them. Try getting someone like:

- Bode
- Ladhams

We could maybe send them Matty Rogers back to SA for one of them... (this is a joke - do no take this remark seriously tiger supporters.)

He did get a bit of an injury early this season from memory but form kept him out, not the injury. Played OK for South Adelaide but couldn't make it back. He'd be a good trade bait for Adelaide, perhaps not so good for the recipient unless you have a clear idea of what went wrong and how you can fix it. The hard sell of "come and grind out games with us" isn't that attractive.

Of course they could get Kane to speak to him, the sell then might be "come do a year of footy rehab and then we'll see where we go with the new Richmond coach in 2005"

Might be appealling if he was young, but he is another one of the Adelaide veteran specials from the SANFL. He is allready 24.

Ladhmas over Bode if we are going to go for one of them. Could send back Rogers as a complementry prize?

You mean he's an attacking CHB who can also pick up 25 quality possessions in the midfield and then swing forward and bag a couple of goals in the red time?

 

[kretchy]

Not interest at all. Don't know if he is really in and under I thought he was more a wingman?

 

[CJH]

Isn't Doughty a bit like another Fleming? A player who when getting the absolute most out of his abilities becomes a merely adequate AFL footballer?

 

[mellowyellow]

Wouldn't want him.

Read the related thread on the Adelaide board if you need some convincing.
