He's 30 this year and trash? 

Shut this chat down 

Hmmn, I just read he's 28.   But then noticed the date of the post, was 2018.

No no.

Oh dear .. ?‍♂️

[John Demonic 4,800]

ANB or Jones get a game forward, but having a pseudo chf/ half forward that understands leading patterns and forward craft from a decade of high performance in a once very good team, is worthy of ridicule? We lack forward line organisational experience and leadership. Throw a pick 50 to the Crows so they can rebuild with a kid, and Lynch slots straight in for s couple of years after the probable delisting of Brown. 

Anyway, it's Raid Adelaide time. Get excited.

Wouldn't mind old Lynchy boy at half forward taking marks on a lead...at the end of year Adelaide Fire Sale

This is the role Fritsch should be playing.

He's being wasted playing deep forward.

Pass. Maybe back in 2017-18 but not now !! 

[Stevienic23 1,024]

Would rather a 2021 Cam Pedersen

[Lord Travis 10,163]

Would’ve been a great get a few years ago but not now at 30 years old and declining rapidly.

It's been 'raid Adelaide time' for the last decade - they've been raped, pillaged and burned to the ground. Literally no-one on their list excites me. There were serious shades of Neeld-era dees about them on the weekend. 

Better off finding another Port to plunder (I'll see myself out).

I would definitely have Darcy Fogarty.  IMO he could make a modern CHF or crushing Mid.

he doesn't get near the ball enough for mine

crows list is pretty slim pickings to be honest

ten players will be 28 before the season is out, so you wouldn't touch them straight away,

the next group of age group 23-27 includes the likes of brad crouch as an rfa who - seemingly foolishly - thought last year he was a $1m a year player and his brother, neither of whom would help us out overly

i'm a big fan of rory laird, but rory atkins? jake kelly? riley knight? meh

some of their 23 and unders are pretty okay; they signed wayne milera up to a decent deal last year, i think it was, while elliott himmelberg is out of contract at the end of this season and would definitely be worth having a sniff at, at 22 years of age and 198cm / 96kg key forward prospect

but you'd imagine they'd see frampton (comes alive!) and himmelberg as their future key forwards along with fogarty as the third tall - he's going to need to get a lot fitter to play that role tho

fish mcasey looks a talent but is super raw

[MyFavouriteMartian 572]

Fogarty hasn't shown much this year . but I liked what I saw when he started out.   Surprisingly in his 3rd season already.

I think he's been drinking that bottled crows bathwater, since year 1.   Hence he and they are struggling.

 

I get the feeling IF...  he could be got,  he would be a valuable pickup.  We don't have anyone up forward like him,  with a low centre of gravity and he's powerful, plays small and can play brute strength football.

A bigger version of Tracca.   And probably a stronger mark. 

With the crows seemingly under the pump.   Try while crows are knit picking.

Except when he plays against us.

Last year he missed 10 weeks through injury except for a game against us during that period.

And what do you know, he was BOG with 3 goals.

[DeeSpencer 23,133]

Seriously underrated player in his prime and we took a swing at getting him then I believe, but I think the game has gone by him now. Plus what would we do with Melksham?

Melk, Fritsch and Petracca/Oliver resting should give us a trio of dangerous medium sized half forward players and that's without factoring in Hunt and Hannan.

Tall forwards and fit, classy kicking and tackling versatile flanker/mid types is what our forward line needs.

In terms of raiding the Crows I think they've got a few handy backline players who might be available and help us keep some experience if we have to replace Hibberd and Jetta.

Fogarty is a decent forward prospect. 193cm 96kgs, so decent enough size and has mongrel to him. He is competitive up forward as a marking target and usually marks or competes and brings it to ground. Not that it's the best comparison, but on 2019 & 2020 form he beats TMac for both contested marks and goals. We could've got him cheaply a year or two back, as he was out of favor and being tried in defence for their reserves. Unfortunately he's come on now and would cost a late first or early second rounder. We probably don't have currency to get him without trading a decent player. Our forward line is currently the worst in the league, so getting a good tough 20 year old prospect as long term investment would be smart.

[whatwhat say what 18,937]

fogarty is super lazy in terms of his intensity and training efforts

needs to work a helluva lot harder on and off the track

probably the worst thing that happened to him was getting drafted by the crows; needed to get outta homebase

I can see him a bit like a Bull, and like that he is sub 194 cms for CHF.  as these days we need that position pushing hard thru the midfield,  and doing most work between the arcs.  Then head back forward as we transition the ball.

His mongrel and power build means he can and would hit packs hard,  in Mids, and up forward.

In temperament I see him a bit like an Glenn Archer styled but bigger;  not bad imv,    playing a Key position battering ram.

 

Even in defence,  he'd be a handful to bring down with the ball.

And that's why I brought him up.   He can seriously play.

IMO, needs a decent club environment (which we've developed), and get outa Home state.

yeah, but his unwillingness to work hard is a major barrier

be interesting to see what the crows do at the end of the season - if i was them and a big offer came in for brad crouch, i'd let him walk; likelihood is they'd get a straight after their round 1 compo pick to replace him, which means they could hold two of the top five picks in the draft

I’d rather put a ginger wig on a potato and stick it in the goal square. 

[layzie 28,743]

We have no need for Tom Lynch.

Swap for ANB.
