He’s been one of the few good things to come out of this season.

Agree about outside run still. Especially forward of centre.

Would love to see laird push into the midfield as I reckon he can do that job, with Milera and smith being the half backs.

Would love to go all out to get rankine as he is fits our need perfectly.

Jacobs tex and Betts all look unfit. Hopefully a full preseason for each of them will do the world of good.

All the talk about Lycett seems to have gone quiet lately, until the news about St Kilda going out for him. Wonder whether the crows will have a crack.


I’ve heard from good sources that Port are in secret talks with Lycett. Apparently Crows aren’t interested

Port have been trying for Lycett for years. Its no secret. With Nic Nat out for 12 more months he's not going anywhere

I find that amazing that that the Crows aren’t showing any interest in him.

Has had some moments, no doubt, averaging about 18 touches a game which I think you'd agree is below par for an outside run ball carrier.


He’s a 20 year old in his third year, averaging 22 touches per game post bye when he’s mostly played half back

That’s more of an indication of his future rather than including his earlier roles as a forward.

Has an elite kick and evasion skills too.

He's right on the competition disposal efficiency average. ( 77.5 comp wide 77.6 )

Disposal efficiency is different to being a good kick - also depends on how and where you get your kicks.

I’ve tweeted at champion data to ask if they have his kick rating

He has a relative rating of +29% as well, which means he’s 29% better than players of his age and position.

Not saying he’s a gun just yet but I’ve loved his progress this year and if he continues on he will be a gun in the future

Spoke to a WWT (and Crows) mate who watched him last week at Woodville.
“Looked f#cking disinterested most of the day when he wasn’t trying to take mark of the year 10 times. He’s gone.”
