So Buckenara has him at the same spot he had Gore going in the year we traded him in. I think there's a reason Buckenara no longer has a recruiting gig.

Recruiting and development have been enviable.
Other than Gibbs and maybe Rockliff, who else are the Crows targeting? If some or all of Lever, Gov and CC leave, you'd have a pretty nice draft hand.

I'm disappointed he hasn't been given a shot at AFL level, would be happy for him to get a serious crack at it elsewhere.

Oh, I forgot to add that when we do lose them, we don't get much back
Kelly rumours for Crows a while back but unlikely.
Tried to turn him into a inside mid, but he doesn't really have the size to stop anyone in close, so he doesn't really try. Add to that that he's slow, so we don't want to add him in with Matt Crouch (Pyke likes speed, same reason we let Lyons walk) and that sees Hampton and then Greenwood jump over him this year.
We might try to keep him, but he wants to play AFL footy, so he'll walk to whichever team has the best shot of him getting a game.
Would be a good fit for Freo. Could see him slotting into our 22 on the half back flank to allow Weller more midfield minutes. We also need to delist about 15 players over the next 2 years so we actually need to target some guys like this.
Yeah would be a bargain pick up at Fremantle. You guys have a lot of speed, Wigg is more like Laird same height, same position when brought to the club. I'd like to see him given a genuine shot, AFC just can't provide him that with our premiership tilt.

He's not getting games because he doesn't seem to have any stand out attributes anymore (Pyke loves players that have a weapon, even if it comes with a weakness) with the deadly kick that saw him drafted pulling a vanishing act.
He reminds me of Mitch Grigg who we delisted a while back, not quite big or fast enough for AFL football and has lost his quality disposal whilst trying to be an inside mid.

The latest i've heard on the Wigg-man is that the crows are happy to wait and see if anyone bites with any trade interest (perhaps they use them as part of the Gibbs deal) then if nothing happens, they re-evaluate.
Either way, I think a club will grab him as a delisted free agent if crows don't throw him a bone.
I'm definitely of the believe he is good enough to at least get a shot at playing league footy,.
Good luck Wiggster.

Would be very happy to snaffle him as a DFA. Less so as part of a trade.

Anarchy for the AFC, it's coming sometime...
Has an elite left foot. Better than Daniel Day-Lewis's apparently.

No real rumours at all before it happened. Best of luck to him, was surprised he didn’t get at least a game for us.

GCS finally got a player at least. Replace Saad off half back?
Wigg played a lot of good footy in the reserves here. Hopefully he gets some opportunities at GC.
For Suns fans, don't be expecting an athletic beast, he is rather short and not that fast. He is however a very decent kick with above average skills.

Was wanted in the team almost every week by a few on our board, so he must have something.

We sorta all called for him to get a game, and quite surprising the club traded him with Brodie Smith out for the season.
I think he just wants an opportunity and maybe there is a deficiency that the coaching group didnt like?

Remember when we essentially swapped Lever & Wigg for Cockatoo & Gregson by swapping draft picks?
seems a decent pick up. hope he gets a fair go at it.
I reckon hes a good get. Thought he was stiff in a pretty strong crows team all year.
I think he said i cant be a part of a team who does such a tough scary stance before a game only to fold like little league players playing against men...
All the best wigger

And remember when we got 2 first round draft picks for Lever? Meaning we absolutely win in that circumstance. Gregson is a delist job. Cockatoo will be handy but no superstar
