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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
