Crows need a tall key defender and I have always rated Joel as a player. Good pedegree too ( Pat Hall's grandson ).
No chance. Patfull won't be leaving the Lions in a hurry.
Although our 2010 best and fairest packed his bags pretty quickly!
Might get Polec + 1st round pick, but that's about as good as it will get for Crows.
I'm thinking maybe Aaron Cornelius or Bryce Retzlaff (our emerging key forwards) + 1st round pick.
Rightly or wrongly Tippett would hold more value in the market than Patfull .. I don't think the Crows would be looking to replace him with a bloke that has only a coupla years left in him.
As for the initial post referring to JP as a Port mistake, true they let him go, but all other clubs including the Crows (who had expressed interest) had the chance to pick him up but overlooked him.
Patfull's only 27. But you're right about Tippett holding more value.
Pick 8 is our only chance of getting Tippett because the Lions won't release Redden.
Wouldn't surprise if the Lions end up chasing the big Q instead though.
