With the Crouch seemingly headed for St. Kilda, the Saints have said that they are willing to trade Jimmy Webster to make room for him.

Anyone think he would be worth a look?

I have no idea if the club has any interest at all, but he is a good user of the footy, quick and was an important player for the Saints before injuries ruined the last couple of years for him.

Keen to hear how other posters rate him and if he is someone we should be interested in.

 

I rate him, i think he'd really steady up our half back line, he's a good ball user, brave in the air and a good on field leader, could release Salem to have stints further up the field, 

Saints putting him up for trade in order to fit Brad Crouch in. At his best he's a very good lockdown defender with great speed and strength. It feels like we are lacking that defender who is able to really lockdown and negate one of the oppositions smalls after Nev has seemingly fallen out of favour. I think he would be a really good cheap pick up assuming he's past his injuries of 2019/2020.

 

My earlier post from the Braydon Preuss thread.

 

 I agree with what other posters have said in relation to needing a player to replace Preuss as opposed to just a draft pick. One of the areas we need some cover aside from key forwards and another wing, which we already seem to have targets for, si another half back/small defender. Jetta seems to have hit the wall and Hibberd isn't getting any younger, so this is something we should target.

Sadly GWS don't have any obvious candidates that come to mind, but a team they they'll be trading with (St Kilda) certainly have a few.

I wouldn't mind seeing us send Preuss to GWS and Pick 47 to St Kilda.  GWS send Pick 39 to us and Caldwell to St Kilda. St. Kilda send Pick 14 to GWS and Jimmy Webster to us.

Improves our draft hand slightly and Webster would walk straight into our back pocket/half back flank position. Hasn't played a heap in the last two years due to injury, but his numbers are all good. Good turn of pace and kicks it nicely, plus with St Kilda developing the likes of Hunter Clark, Nick Coffield and Geary still going, he's a surplus to their requirements.

 

 

Rate him highly, I think he would be a terrific acquisition and fit straight into our backline to provide some drive and lockdown capabilities.

  • Demonland changed the title to The Jimmy Webster Thread

Back and hamstring injuries over the last 2 seasons (plus a hand one as well), but given he's only played 18 games in a season once there's a big element of risk, and he signed a contract extension after starting the 2018 season on fire he wouldn't be on a small contract. I can see why the saints want him out and he might be a cheap trade, but the contract might be preventative, unless they pay some.

Worth a look - maybe as we need good users off half back. He could also free up Harmes. 
 

27yo. 188cm. 100games

Assuming his body checks out this could be a smart potential trade. Good age For us and would not cost alot. Fills a role we have a spot for in the back 7 and has speed, carry and a left footer. 

 

Third rounder get it done?


witherden >

probably wants out after only 7/8 games this year, only issue is he has 2yrs left on deeeecent coin but the lions would pay some

If the saints pay most of his salary maybe. Otherwise don't need more injury prone types thanks.

So summing up the posts:

injury prone 27 year old on a decent contract who played zero games in 2020 and 8 in 2019

 

Yes. I’m not keen. Pass.

It hasn't even been metioned that he's leaving has it?

Please no, this bloke is delist material. Can’t defend and a turnover king. I remember watching him one day live thinking how is he on an AFL list.

has two years to go and was thrown up as expendable to create space for Brouchs contract. plus plethora of HBs with Coffield, Clark, Patton, Long down there and roberton and savage still on the list too for the time being

SEN reporting he’s going to Adelaide for a nothing pick to free up space, which then at kilda use to pay more for crouch = pick 2 for Adelaide. 
I’d call that draft tampering ?‍♂️?‍♂️

i'd imagine its pretty on the money tbh, crows desperate for pick 2, they have the cap space coz they have no one earning ridiculous money, those two boys dunstan and webster get to potentially play senior footy and return to home state and brouch gets the money he wants. all looks pretty straight forward to me

reports in the herald scum / sadvertiser have it going the other way; crows' losing hope of getting pick 2 as compo

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
