Pathetic!! Big big big please explain from a coaching panel that put a player in the sub to not be used!

god i'm nervous

It's also club that has in the last 18 months got Ugle Hagen, Lobb, and Darcy

For a hack that can barely get a game in a bottom side. And has left taking everyone down with him. He screams of poor attitude to me. Complaining about the fitness and medical program but wants to come to the club that has a system in place constructed by the same guy (burgess). AVOID!!

Haha id take Buku's shoe lace over McAdam. I really hope that trade doesn't happen!. He is 23 and only picked up footy very late, just a good pick up if low cost. I can't emphasise how [censored] I think McAdam is, and he is 7cm shorter. Not to mention the poor way he is leaving the crows. Screams unprofessional

23yo key forward who is averaging more than 2 goals a game. Worth a shot with our forward depth

Yeh, im not against it. And we use him in the ruck to protect T-Mac

Buku Khamis not yet offered a contract from the Dogs. Think we should look into him!

Tommo in is a bit baffling to me. Could he play fwd and sit on Weitering?

Yet we have boxing and MMA still. I don't know how those sports get around it. But completely agree with you

If this was the other way around we would be carrying on. Nothing to answer for he actually missed the footy by a couple of cms. Footy is in a bad spot if these incidents become suspendable. Next it will be a knee to the head in a marking contest

Yes, but that's not the actual case. A 28 year old 50 game player that has burnt his old team. Not many lining up for him i wouldn't think. just hope dees play hard ball and give up nothing for him. he isn't worth anything

yeh, im not sure he is wanted like Jackson. Let him walk like Marting did to Carlt back in 2019. I just really don't like this, he isn't close to our best side. And the way he is leaving Adel if true, is messy

Do we need to trade, he is out of contract and want's to leave? Crows have no bargaining power here

Yuck Yuck Yuck, lazy footballer and poor attitude. Wants to take screamers all the time and always puts his hands up when he team mates don't kick to him. Don't need this position and he is 28. don't see it

Yup, id be fine with that. that exactly the type of back up we need.

And they wont be on a 4 year deal, back up rucks get short deals which is why they move around. if we get a ruck in it will be a cheap option but a solid ruck, they are never great around the ground but usually pretty competitive in the ruck contests. They also have Verrall developing in the VFL. The only reason they would spend money is if they don't think he will cut it. From what i have seen from the 19 YO he looks pretty good in the early stages of his career. Unless we go for a Chol type who is the Ruc/Fwd type, then you will have to spend a little bit. Which i don't mind that option. But not his contract which would have to be around the $1mil mark over the next 2 years

I doubt we are in the market for a 500k+ ruck, back up rucks don't get much love, hence why they are the ones who move clubs a lot

No over the 4. Recon id be a even bigger story if he was on 2.6 for a year

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2023/09/05/free-agent-weighing-up-lions-offer-as-kangaroos-brace-for-mckay-trade/ Apparently is contemplating an offer from Bris, If he is gettable we should 100% have a crack. really like the way he plays footy!

I have said it before on here that we won't be paying any of Grundy's contract but here is Cal Twomey on SEN yesterday: “The other reality is is that he’s contracted as a Demon so a trade has to be made that satisfies them as well. “Melbourne doesn’t have to pay a dollar if he goes, there’s no way this is going to be a three-club arrangement paying for Grundy if he does leave. “Grundy has an agreement with Collingwood and an agreement with Melbourne at the amount. Melbourne and Collingwood don’t have an agreement. “If he were to leave, the club that is taking him on would be taking on all that’s left from his Melbourne salary.” Just so people are informed, we basically will have 2.6m free in our salary cap if we trade him. 🤑 Also makes the trade easier to do, a club is getting a top 5 ruck for $650k a year. It's a bargain and you can see why we took a chance on it.

Yeh they got lucky with JUH too, the rules changed the next year. Yeh i get that but also remember that GC, GWS and the lions are the top 3 assisted clubs by the AFL. So really who is paying for it? Just think the rules should be the same, maybe some other sort of incentive like more of a discount but they can't be matched if they are in the top 20

I actually think we don't play Grundy, Gawn will dominate Cox all over the ground. bit of a tougher tap match up but he is so average as a footballer.

It's actually amazing how many players stuff up after a hanger, must be all the energy pumping through them. I was only thinking the other day id love to see a stat on plays after a hanger! that's a lot of footage to go through though.
