Hawks and Geelong will combine to get O'Meara, Crouch and Prestia.

The other 8 VIC clubs will be forced to feed off the scraps / C graders.

 

Oh, I just realised I'm not in the Optimistic thread...

    Crouch doesn't add anything to our list that we don't already have, so no.

    I'd be astonished if we targeted him.

    Great users and a bit of speed is what we are after. 

    Crouch is neither of those.

    You go after players that can win their own ball and Crouch certainly can. FWIW, if it came down to decision between Crouch or Prestia I'd take the latter, but I certainly wouldn't scoff at Crouch.

    Rate him pretty high, but if I had the choice I would take Prestia, just. Well worth investing some effort into. We can trade 1 more future rd 1 pick but im not convinced the club will be too keen to do that 2 years in a row. That would tie our hands for the following 2 years.

    I'd take Prestia ahead of Crouch. Whilst I accept that Prestia has come off a knee reco, Crouch's injury record is ongoing.

    Unless Crouch has suddenly developed an outside game, some speed and clean disposal since last night then no.

    Well if we are to be honest, neither is Prestia

    Prestia has both those attributes

    They both have better foot skills and speed than MJones, ANB, Harmes, Trenners, stretch, JKH, BenKen, AVB or Terls. 

    Oliver, Viney and Tyson don't shine in these areas either.

    Crouch and/or Pestia would be massive improvements to our midfield stocks.

    I have no idea what the Crows would want in return. If he can't establish himself in the best 22 by the end of the year then it will hurt his trade value.

    North Melbourne need to top up young talent quickly. I could see them out bidding us if it's picks the Crows want.

    If you think Crouch has better speed than Jones, Harmes, Stretch or BenKen you need to look again.

    Missed the word 'and' Red.

    Even then, I still disagree. Speed is much more than running.

    Matt Crouch is better.......

    He looks better because he has had a pre-season. Brad Crouch has been limited. But talent wise, there is no comparison. Brad is a better user of the football. In fact, I think Brad is better in all areas. This is not to downplay Matt Crouch, I think he is an improving player (with a lot to offer), but Brad Crouch is a game changer. We should go all out for him IMO.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
