No more open market Bont

 

[FR0GGY]

Certainly wasn't bad for him, but his talent was obvious and his performance was trending upwards.

Thankyou for summarizing my post

Has he got business interests?

Has a restaurant under the sea

Some of the suggestions are a little optimistic I think.

• News is that Bont is about to re-sign with the Dogs.
• Likely that the Demons will reluctantly have to give up Petracca, but the whole saga last year was about him moving to a bigger Melbourne club like Collingwood or Carlton for his 'brand'. Struggle to see Adelaide getting any consideration from him.
• While Essendon are on the ropes and have been decimated by injuries, I don't think they will be looking to salary dump their captain, heart and soul of the club, and one of the top players in the comp.

He's a star, but part of me also thinks if a guy's main decision on where he plays football is built around a basic fitness Instagram influencer "brand" then he probably wouldn't fit in here either. Definitely sounds like a Carlton recruit though.

Hey lads sorry if this has been discussed before, but is there any chance Matt Crouch re signs? Would be a decent fit for our mob I reckon.

I think it'll be the same as last time and we're waiting until the end of the year to see if he's in our plans. Berry playing so well in his absence probably doesn't help him, but with how many guys we have out of contract I can see a scenario where they want to keep him as experienced backup. Whether Crouch is interested in that or if he has a starting 22 offer elsewhere I dunno. I do think he'd be a decent fit for the Eagles though, we saw in the SANFL how well Draper played when he has an experienced Crouch next to him to do some of the dirty work. Think Reid could definitely benefit from a similar thing.

Darcy Wilson sounds unhappy at St Kilda according to some media reports.

We don't need another flanker.

 

[Mutineer]

We don't need another flanker.

I think we could find a spot on the other wing for Darcy Wilson the wingman.

 

[Brenton Davy]

No, Nicks has an inferior record to Hinkley.

You’ve seen Nicks **** up still this year right?

As has every other coach at one time or another. I’ve been as critical of Bicks as the next guy but at some stage you have to acknowledge the improvement.

You reckon Mutineer has improved his posting? Thats debatable

Wouldn’t matter if he did!

You’d still have the same opinion of him, just as you do with Nicks

 

[Brenton Davy]

I think it's probably reasonable to think that, if a side significantly improves, then perhaps their head coach has taken some action and has improved as well.

I mean - if you just don't want to believe something, then you never will. If you want to invent scenarios that haven't happened and get angry at them anyway, then I guess you'll do that.

But what you're saying seems pretty reasonable.

Gee!

I’m not used to positive affirmation on this board.

 

[Carn The Texan]

Darcy Wilson looked an absolute gun for St Kilda last year. Another one of those where if there's even a 1% chance you'd be on the phone today.

Know he's a Victorian but maybe being from up north he'd have less ties to Melbourne? Did he go to school in the country as well?

He did indeed.

Unlikely to re-sign with the crows, if he and his partner are interested in moving he'd be well worth acquiring particularly to help out your young midfield. He may just say I'm done with footy though. There would be plenty of off field roles the club could organise for him so he stays in SA.

Yeah I hope we're all over Darcy Wilson assuming the pipe dream options (NWM, Zac Bailey

I reckon the games gone past him a little bit, but if the Eagles are just after someone who can win the footy and take the heat off Reid it makes sense.

I’d say he’s done with us, but Nicks has a habit of shuffling the deck to try and squeeze him back in so we’ll see.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Matty Lloyd on Footy Classified suggesting that Carlton should go hard for Rash. Long term contracted, Carlton would have zero they could offer us to even consider letting him go. Crazy suggestion.

They can suggest all they want but he is contracted for another while yet & happy in Adelaide. Why would you move to Carlton?

And the club would say no.

Would be a sensible get for WC. Still very much an AFL quality player particularly when he is focussed on disposing the ball forward releasing team mates. He did struggle during Adelaide’s rebuild due to lack of quality mids around him but if Reid stays that’s not as big an issue - he would complement Reid nicely in my view and would only cost you salary cap.

Harley Reid or we send him to the draft and you try your luck there.

Cough up.

 

[rabidcrow]

What would you be willing to pay for Ryan?

I think a second rounder. Higher than what our natural one would. About what we paid for ANB

 

[rabidcrow]

There is a couple I'd be OK picking off but really as third round trade sort of picking off, not the sort of thing I'd be wanting to include Rash in.

I just think that is lazy by Lloyd, "Rash supported Carlton as a kid, Carlton should try and get him"

I sure lots of young players watch Carlton faithful jeer and abuse and spit on their beloved team on multiple occasions over the last few years and go - I would love to play there!!
Sure Rach barracked for them as a kid - as an adult I am sure he pities the players and thinks a good chunk of the supporter base are a disgrace

Victorians just can’t fathom that someone would actually like it here.

He’s signed a long term contract, and is playing great footy for a team on the rise. But sure, he’ll be keen to drop all that for a club that’s in shambles because they’re a “big 4” team.
