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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
