he is alrighty

can atleast take a grab unlike a couple of other ruckmen that spring to mind

 

[Stiffy_18]

Seriously, Loats is nothing to write home about but he is better than Marsh. I guess his upside is that he is only 22 and still has plenty of development left in him.

Lets just hope he blossoms if we get him

Here is a bit of info on David Loats

What's a likely trade?

2nd round pick? 3rd round pick?

No to 2nd and 3rd round pick. I would trade Gallagher

 

[Mong]

Can't be much good then.

Rating of his games on Hawthorn board don't read too badly but then again they were provided by Hawthorn.

I still think he would be a better option than Marsh. He is still only 22 and COULD offer something.

I would prefer him over Peter Street any day of the week and twice on sunday

Beggers can't be choosers.

late 3rd - early 4th imo

Well according to Ch9 he is not likely to be a Crow.

We will finish this trade period empty handed

We'll go close to it anyway Stiffy. Stevens could be our only hope - unless there's a smokey they're not letting on about.

Yes, there is a smokey...his name is John Baird and he plays for the Kangaroos. Out of favour with Laidley. Mediocre KPP, could be cheap.

Why the hell would we want him??????

I want a bloody ruckman and to be honest I would rather go after Loats than Stevens.

We are more desperate for a ruckman than we are for a KPP.

Because Adelaide seems to have a history of recruiting crappy surplus talls from other clubs.

Because we're never normally high enough in the draft to pick quality young KPP's.

But then again, you don't want us to trade our way into that position, do you. Or do you??

Which way do you want to go to get quality talls??

 

[spindoctor]

Look at draft history. You don't need a high pick to recruit a good young KPP. Look who our picks for Schell and Fitzgerald got for their respective clubs.

Whereas we seem to waste a mid-round pick that could get a young tall to work with to buy a matured tall that could get better, but realistically probably won't.

Medhurst and Mark Powell. Medurst is not a tall AND Mark Powell has done bugger all so far and is unlikley to do more

Have you got any idea about the depth of talls in this years draft??????

 

[DaveW]

He's apparently off to Geelong which is pleasing.

 

[Thunderstruck]

It certainly is.....meanwhile still nothing at all for us.
