If we get 25ish for Hibberd, 19 and 25 for Crouch and Crows' 30ish.

Probably not enough.
Rather 19, 25 for crouch straight up. He's worth it I reckon.

The noise around Crouch came when he couldn't get/stay in the firsts on his return from injury. Doing quite nicely there now.
Think Sloane recently came out and said he wasn't sure on crouch being at Adelaide next season. Surprising considering he'd brothers there to be honest.

Jake Niall saying we're sweet on brad crouch.
The double deal makes more sense now

Pick 1 for GWS pick 7 & 15 (or there abouts)

on trade pick 15 to Adelaide for Brad Crouch.


Some may like it, others wont but it would be a pretty reasonable deal.

Could really target key areas we lack in with a variety of players likely to be available at 7 (Venables, McGrath, Marshall, Ainsworth).

Essendon leads several Victorian clubs aiming to lure out of contract Crow Brad Crouch to their club
  • an hour ago
  • by JAKE NIALL
  • Source: FOX SPORTS
ESSENDON heads the list of Victorian clubs interested in snaring Adelaide’s talented midfielder Brad Crouch, who remains out of contract for 2017.

But the Crows, who view Crouch, 22, as a key player in the coming years, say they are ‘’very comfortable’’ in their dealings with Crouch, whose younger brother Matt is also at the club.

While the Bombers have been heavily focused on retaining the dozen players who have been suspended for the 2016 season, they have also eyed off a number of out of contract players and have the likely advantage of owning the first pick in the pre-season draft for out of contract and delisted players.

Sources have confirmed that there is ‘’significant interest’’ in Brad Crouch from Victorian clubs, with Essendon among the most ardent suitors for the inside midfielder, who has played the past six games in his return from injury.

Brad Crouch was among the best afield against the Bombers on Sunday and is viewed as a potential gun if he can avoid the injuries that have plagued his short career. Recruited as a prized 17-year-old recruit (from the GWS ‘’mini-draft’’ auction), Crouch did not play a senior game during the 2015 season due to a foot injury and missed a sizeable chunk of 2014 with a leg fracture.

But the Crows have had him on a program that has seen him recover well in the course of this season, in which he has played 10 senior games.

Crouch, runner up in the NAB Rising Star in 2013, is among the AFL’s select group of high calibre younger players yet to re-sign, along with Gold Coast pair Jaeger O’Meara and Dion Prestia and Sydney’s Tom Mitchell, who has put off contract talks until the end of the Swans’ season and is expected to be a Hawthorn recruiting target.

Greater Western Sydney’s Caleb Marchbank, who is favoured to nominate Carlton if he decides to leave, is another out of contract youngster in demand from Victorian clubs.

Crouch has played 35 games since his debut in 2013 after he was recruited by the Crows from North Ballarat.

Why do we need Marchbank? Don't neccesarily need another KPD.

If we wanted steak knives, would much prefer James Stewart (KPF)

Yeah giving up the first pick of the national draft instead of the pre season draft. That'd make sense.

Couldn't we keep pick 1 and use pick 19 plus a sweetener

Few very good players taken in that second round. The pick we may get for Hibbo could be very valuable.
