Please dear God no. 

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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
