RedFox 536 Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Unsure if his name has been mentioned but a pretty classy midfielder when up and running. Yes, durability concerns but would back burgess to get him going. Feel like we are at least one quality mid short in there for when Trac rests forward, for example. Thoughts? Queries? Concerns? Quote

Demon3 2,541 Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 No thanks, but i reckon if he goes then that pick they get for him goes to us for Angus Brayshaw. just a suggestion. 1 Quote

He seems like a pretty well rounded midfielder rather than just see ball get ball on the inside. Gets just as many uncontested possessions as contested. Think he'd be handy if fit Quote
3183 Dee 2,917 Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 I think Geelong are in the box seat. Quote

Wiseblood 24,637 Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 We're no chance. Sounds like Geelong is in the box seat, but could easily stay or go to Port. I don't think we're in the calculations at all. Quote

Money talks and if we offered enough he'd take it Quote

I also think, if we were to make a splash, we would do so for another winger, or even another key forward to complement the Weid/Jackson combo. I don't see a Brad Crouch as a desperate need for us. 1 Quote

I also think, if we were to make a splash, we would do so for another winger, or even another key forward to complement the Weid/Jackson combo. I don't see a Brad Crouch as a desperate need for us. That's a fair statement. From my perspective his skillset is not surplus to our needs, I've seen him play pretty well on the outside with his run and skills, I don't think ability to win your own ball and being a pure inside mid are mutually exclusive Quote
rjay 25,424 Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Seems to spend a lot of time injured. Ideal for EFC...replacement in rehab for Joe. 1 Quote
Adam The God 30,730 Posted September 9, 2020 Posted September 9, 2020 Hasn't really kicked on his early career form. He used to be quite explosive around stoppages I thought, he's lost that with injury and his disposal is ho-hum. I'd pass here. Quote

poita 3,944 Posted September 10, 2020 Posted September 10, 2020 Far better to focus on a couple of Langdon-quality players at $500K each than paying up to $1M for Crouch. Quote

I think I'm in the minority that believes Crouch doesn't offer an identical skillset to those players you've mentioned. He's pretty quick and a good ball user, can't have enough quality mids to rotate through in my opinion Quote
