Richard Douglas won a B&F and I certainly think Crouch can reach that level. I also think despite that B&F that a player such as Tyson Edwards has the likes of Douglas covered by a fair distance.
Dougy is a good comparison. Someone who I maligned in his early career for his tendancy to just throw the ball on the foot and turn it over, but clearly had genuine talent. Then put it all together and won a B&F one year and became an important cog in the team.
That's the career trajectory I see for Crouch.

If the Menzel deal goes through, and we delist Wright as expected, does that mean as it stands we can only upgrade one of O'Brien and Kelly?
At present we have 35 listed players, the maximimum we can have leading into the draft, we must draft a minimum 3 players each season, rookie elevations will count towards the minimum 3 as can father/son selections... At this point in time only Kelly has been guaranteed one of those spots, meaning we do not need to remove any other players from our playing list unless we wish to upgrade O'Brien or Ramsey at this draft.

So did Matt Connell, therein lies the problem with using awards to judge talent.

Vader is an idiot.

Where did you read we're giving Kerridge and Pick 28 for Carlton's future second round pick? I read it would be Kerridge for Carlton's second round pick.
they were looking at using two picks for four giants... they have 1, 20, 21, 69, 70... so they want 28, especially after landing Seedsman the club will only use 2 picks and a rookie upgrade.
I doubt Kerridge alone would get next years second round... you could be right but we may never know as Menzel passed a physical...
