Straughny not soFisch absolutely had a smile on his face in that footage...
Torney?Genuine question
Who was the last Crows player who had no question marks over his inclusion in the team at the age of 31 or later?
Even one as good as Laird ??There is plenty of decent argument as to why you do not give a 5 year deal to a 27 year old.
Wannabe list manager?
Are you suggesting our current list manager isn't a wannabe one?
YesEven one as good as Laird ??
It's a year too long for mine, but if you're going to give any senior player on our list a 5 year deal its Laird.
The point being we shouldn't be giving 5 year deals to anyone over 24 at the stage we are at as a club.It's a year too long for mine, but if you're going to give any senior player on our list a 5 year deal its Laird.
Disagree, you pick the right ones.The point being we shouldn't be giving 5 year deals to anyone over 24 at the stage we are at as a club.
Not at the moment, where we are at as a club. In essence Laird is now being paid by us until the end of 2026.Disagree, you pick the right ones.
That said, I wouldn't be giving out too many more. Maybe Crouch, that's it.
Matt's been the better Crouch over the journey however he's the easier to replace.Not at the moment, where we are at as a club. In essence Laird is now being paid by us until the end of 2026.
I certainly wouldn't entertain a 5 year deal to Matt Crouch. IMO if a Crouch was going to get 5 years at our club, it should have been Brad not Matt. Even then you wouldn't have done it due to Brad's injury history.
Only due to durabilty. Brad has far more ability than what Matt does.Matt's been the better Crouch over the journey however he's the easier to replace.
You could probably give him 4 with slightly higher coin.
His lack of durability means he can't do things he used to.Only due to durabilty. Brad has far more ability than what Matt does.
Matt should have been the one we tried to shop, not Brad.
Anyway, I digress, this thread is about Rory Laird after all.
Whilst you are right, I feel Brad would still have been of more benefit long term as he is just a better player when fit.His lack of durability means he can't do things he used to.
Could be, much of a muchness for me.Whilst you are right, I feel Brad would still have been of more benefit long term as he is just a better player when fit.

I'd say 3 with a trigger for 4. Durability is becoming a major worry.Matt is at least bankable in the role he plays. Use the top draft picks (including Pedlar last year) to bring in talented mids around him.
Brad there was always some bloody drama that rarely saw him playing like the AA quality mid he should have been.
On another note, Doedee's contract will be interesting. His durability is a major concern.
To be honest, I just don't rate Matt as highly as others on here.Could be, much of a muchness for me.
And I'm the same with Brad.To be honest, I just don't rate Matt as highly as others on here.
