Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[Scorpus]

Sorry to sound negative but even with Menzel I feel we haven't addressed needs

Matured ruck & tall key defender

We don't need either of those things

 

[Don Muraco]

Apparently he's critical to the Port Magpies premiership aspirations.

Need insurance in case Ryder gets suspended (WADA)

 

[Freddy Bassett]

If Port didn't take 12 for Lobbe they are completely nuts....

They might as well extend Hartlet's contract to 2038

 

[Wood_Duck]

I reckon people on here will find Menzel pretty frustrating.

I will even predict he will become a whipping boy for some.

 

[NikkiNoo]

I SAID NO SPOILERS!! (That's from the new trailer I assume?)

sorry after I posted it I should have put this first

They aren't if they get 11 from Bulldogs instead.

They've put some faith in Hartigan.

And what matured ruck were we going to get that was worth getting? Reilly O'Brien already beats the SANFL ones and he's 20.

KPD more so than ruck but neither are a screaming need.

Maybe, but not while we have Mackay and VB still on our books

 

[Red mist]

Like her a bit.

 

[baldandbroke]

Port should have taken that

And then when Ryder gets a suspension for the WADA stuff, they just write of another year?

 

[Jarman3]

Is Carlton FC the club that keeps on giving?

Massie (solid tried) for Eccles (injury prone hardly played any games for them)
Jacobs,
Betts
Now Menzel?

We also offloaded David Gallagher on them, too. Although only got Ben Nelson back so didn't actually gain much out of the deal. But I would have given them Gallagher for nothing. Hell, I would have given them a draft pick just to take him.

I'd rather whip a boy with talent.

Never thought I'd say that sentence.

Not to mention Charlie Dixon has never played more than 16 games in a season so you can pretty much guarantee he'll be spending some portion of the season on the sidelines.

 

[Freddy Bassett]

I hate Port but Lobes is a gun......

A gun?

 

[TrainRoo32]

Not this year he wasn't. It's either Lobbe or Ryder in the team now that Dixon is at Port and they just traded in Ryder so you'd expect him to play.
They can't fit Schulz, Westhoff, Dixon, Ryder, Lobbe in the same side. Too tall and slow.

Have to agree, but still reckon it's because of possible sanctions! I also believe PAP is playing a game that will push them in a corner, where they either win a couple of premierships or destroy their future.

Future planning. I dont know. I honestly dont know what the outcome of the WADA case will be.

 

[Elite Crow]

Bulldogs now making a play for Lobbe, I've got a bad feeling Port will get something good out of this

 

[Pugsley]

And then when Ryder gets a suspension for the WADA stuff, they just write of another year?

No because it'll be WADA WADA WADA.

 

[Crouch#44]

1) jacobs
2) ROB
3) ???

With the sub rule out more clubs may play more talls and rotate the ruck
IMO we are thin, why else is ruckman on the run(wanted) this off season

 

[baldandbroke]

No because it'll be WADA WADA WADA.

 

[Scorpus]

Don't think they will trade him at all. They will have no ruckman on their list if Ryder is suspended, which is likely.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

And then when Ryder gets a suspension for the WADA stuff, they just write of another year?

Yes.

If Ryder loses a year it's a write off for them, with or without Lobbe.

 

[SydCrow]

we have Lowden right?
