Give Brad an injury free preseason/year and i think you will see why. Crows picked him up in that mini draft GC had at number 2 behind Omera, would have gone top 5 in the National draft if he got that far.

Interestingly enough both Crouch and O'meara have had significant time off with injuries.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

Realistically we would be after someone like Talia or Sloane or Jenkins. That ilk. What we'll settle for is a mismd range player and draft pick.

You'll be after a tall, without question.

Your talls 195cm+ ( other than Kreuzer and Weitering ), Rowe, Casboult, Gorringe, Phillips, Everitt, Jones, McKay, Jaksch. None of them look like gems, Phillips looks capable though.

Gorringe, Rowe, Jones...all could be moved on and better options than Everitt and Casboult wanted.
PAFC. Forever.

LOOK OUT, WE'RE COMING!

I wouldn't want to leave Melbourne and come back to the media retardation known as Rowey, Jars, Bones and KG either.

They've got their fair share of peanuts over there.

I'll never forget Dougie's description about Nathan Eagleton "Eagleton's a 100 metre player, he runs 30 and then kicks it 60"


Their peanuts are spread over a few clubs though, all "beloved crow" here

Agree with that last statement.
Almost wish there was a third side out of SA, just to dilute the pool a little.

No one tops Rowey when it comes to being a peanut!
Dougie ain't real smart but at least he is genuine.

Haha, the ignore function gets a smashing on that site, but once you weed through the rubbish, there are some posters on there that really know their stuff across all clubs.

Loved the AFC board on brownlow night though. Grab the popcorn and commence the lol's.

Richmond have declared they want Josh Caddy in return for Deledio, not sure I like that at all. Lids is 30 next year and Caddy has the potential to be a star. I see more upside holding Caddy then bringing in Deledio

Might just be the reason young Jarman preferring Hawthorn. Could you just imagine Rowey and KG? Bruce and Cyril will be nothing compared to them

Finished second behind o'meara in the rising star in 2013, ahead of wines, tom mitchell, whitfield and grundy. So I think that gives you a decent idea of his potential.

Got 25 touches 7 times in his first year (14 games)

Since then though his foot injuries have stuffed him. Whether he can ever fulfil those expectations of him from now on is hard to say.
