given he's out of contract at the end of 2027, and is our only star player with a contract expiring that year

 

[Gtowncrow]

I might be jumping at shadows but I've got a weird Charlie Edwards going back to Melbourne feeling.

His post match interview, Nicks post match presser and the baulderstone post match interview all left me with a doubt about his future as a Crow.

Thoughts anyone?

We've given him every reason to look elsewhere.

Yep. That's how I felt too.

It's important he and Curtin can become regular mids soon as it allows Dawson to play in a ball moving position.

If Charlie stays and Dawson isn't locked into a midfield role, it will be like getting two new players.

Jumping at shadows a bit I think.

What’s wrong with Taylor?

averaging 10 disposals / game and a goal a game. i have always found his output very underwhelming

my gut feeling, based on absolutely nothing besides the feeling in my bone, is Izak is a higher risk of leaving than other elite SA boys like TT and (hopefully) Draper.

He would be a high profile get for Tassie and could offer him massive $$$ - both sign on bonus (perhaps 1m or more) and a higher contracted salary.

That said, he did return home for family reasons so I am probably 100% wrong here (hopefully)

what were the comments that concerned you from charlie or nicks? or more a 'vibe' type thing?

he is obviously a smart young man from regional vic from my understanding. educated and boarding at an elite mlb private school (so i assume a relatively wealthy family) and now studying law. interesting his GF is in canberra (ANU studying iirc). i tend to agree these are traditionally the sorts of draftees we have lost (often the inner city / bayside types) like Gunston, Watts etc

probably long enough since this 'source' here on bigfooty disclosed in his first year with us that he was having some issues settling in. from memory, had acted in a 'different' sort of manner to most draftees and had raised some concerns within the clubs management at the time and was perceived a higher risk draftee than others that year (curtin and ryan)

He doesnt waste many of those 10 mind you

do you think 10 is enough? i certainly dont

i personally prefer peds upside over taylor if we can only choose one of them

 

[Cromulant]

I dont, would love him to get that up to about 15 and we've got a player.

Im running out of patience with Pedlar, offers almost nothing.

yeah both need to lift agreed.

i just think peds upside is higher. time will tell...

Taylor and Pedlar first 2 on chopping block

When you look at who is out of the team and considered in our best 23 the below are currently missing

Fogarty
Curtin
Dawson
Keane
Draper
Ah Chee
Soligo



Out :

Taylor
Pedlar
Maley
Bond
Butts
Nankervis
Berry or Edwards

Does any of our half forwards ever get more than that though?
It seems to be the graveyard spot for anyone we can’t fit in elsewhere.

 

[Trigger13]

Perhaps we should wait for Charlie to prove himself at AFL level before we worry about losing him. One swallow doesn’t make a summer.

yep 100% - collectively massive improvement coming over the next month or 2. even if we lose to lions, if we win the following 3, we are 6-4 when all players exc keane should be back. also i reckon hinge an in - even at lairds expense


keane - provides that drive from defence butts cant. seems to be a realisation recently that keane>murray>butts

hinge - toughness, tackling, controlled aggression, massive booming kick, decent in the air. replaces laird or bond

curtin -a flexible weapon in the making. takes wing over a nank type

fog>maley, despite showing promise maley doesnt ever look like being able to kick more than a goal a game. fog at his best a much higher threat both scoring and score assists

soligo - likely takes berry or edwards place. i like edwards prospects so ideally he stays in

ah chee - SO much better than both taylor and peds. was equal player of the finals series 2024

draper - that line breaking pace and ball hunting. i am personally very excited for his long term prospects. once he is right to go we will see why he was so highly rated in his draft year

dawson - our best player will come good no doubt. if we are too have success this year he along with tt and rankine need to get back to previous years form

our team will be SO SO much better in 4-6 weeks time. lets just get thru the next month win the games we need to and get ready to load up for a big run in the second half of the season. i still believe

anb 17 ish 2025-2026
keays 15-16 ish 2025-2026

so both these guys are much higher prodn

peds is comparable to taylor - actually even worse around 8 per game.

basically its out of peds and taylor imo who retains their place once ah chee returns over coming weeks. i just prefer peds myself but understand its not backed up by stats

your preference frogman?

Those two clearly have a different role, I can’t think of anyone who has succeeded or got numbers there, pedlar, cook etc
It’s just a place we dump kids or mids we don’t want to play as a mid.

My preference is to only play one of keays or ANB and give one of their roles to someone else.
But I think we just need to be more understanding of the other role and that it’s not a high possession role.
Pedlar is the one I have most hopes for.

I'm not seeing it, really strong family ties were what brought him back home originally. If he gets well looked after I highly doubt it.

 

[BRL121]

He offers bull-at-a-gate effort.

 

[Cromulant]

He offers bull-at-a-gate effort.

About 3 times a game

We have too many players that play a negative roll

 

[fossilllCrow]

Any updates Plugga re the player coming in? I would of thought gettable would be mentioning it by now

 

[Mostyn]

We've given him every reason to look elsewhere.

No we haven't. We've developed him well and now given him an opportunity at the highest level.

The Keane, Butts, Worrell and Murray situation is interesting. I for one think we need only one of Butts/Murray along with Keane and Worrell. Im not sure that Murray is performing better than Butts and i prefer Butts to Muzza in a defensive role. Butts now is learning to attack more and get more of the ball. 18 touches on the weekend.
