Saints have picks next year that they could have traded or swapped. They could have done side deals to throw in a player or two or a pick swap.Brodlach wrote:What other options?
Saints weren’t going to pull out of the deal it was a bluff

Yeah look I can see where the crows were coming from as they clearly didn't want him back. But also this makes it clear that there is a heck of alot more going on behind the scenes with this one.Brodlach wrote:Jim05 wrote:Weak as pissBrodlach wrote:Didn’t match the Crouch bid
As Matt Rendell just said, means there was no interest in him from any other club.
Crows clearly didn’t want him back, take what you get and move on

Crows didnt want him even though Brad wanted to stay. Clearly more going on off field. They shopped him around and no one was interested so take 23 and move on.
I think what Will Goodings said this morning is the best way to look at it...they could have invested in his 5 year deal and then traded him in the next year or two.

Will only really be able to judge that after 5 years. Crows apparently offered him 3

No, can judge it now. Adelaide tried to bluff St Kilda and they didn't flinch because they knew the market wasn't going to take Crouch off them and they knew Adelaide didn't want him because they'd spent 3 days trying to sell him to any interested bidder.

What else could they have done besides match and keep him?

Do you think he's worth 5 years at $650k to $800k
