yep

How could you ditch Sauce just like that?

I'd be throwing a tall forward out there to see if there was any bites first.


one of my favourite players. But Grundy is just as good as sauce and is 23, whereas sauce is 29.

I dont think either of them are mobile enough to play forward instead of jenkins.

I think Grundy is massively over rated. "Gun 23 year old ruckman"? I don't think so, serviceable, but he's no gun. He's got upside being only 23 but I would doubt Adelaide would give away Jacobs to get Grundy. Madness.

Not at football he isn't, but then again I'm not sure what you're rating them as.

God I hope the Crows hierarchy aren't asked for their opinion on whether they'd look at doing a deal :D

Agree :shock: :shock:

Freo will have plenty of cap space come year end and Crows don't pay overs, McGovern gone.

Would currently be in the mix for the AA spot. Gets plenty of the ball and is almost an extra mid. Very decent footballer but would cost the Earth in both $ and picks.

Rumour I've heard is we will off load Tippett somehow for him!

McGovern is in his 3rd year, if there's no trade made then he's not going anywhere.

He'd be mad to leave Adelaide for an extra $150-200k per year. Fremantle are miles off a premiership, if ever with the lack of culture they have and West Coast are there or thereabouts for the next few years while Adelaide are set for 3-5 years at the real pointy end. If he's clever he'll ride the next 3 years out with Adelaide, perhaps snag a flag or more ( please no ), turn 25 and head home then on a big deal to see him out.

I agree Jim, I think he's having a stellar year.

Different story if he gets to the Eagles to play with his brother.

Three way deal McGovern - Darling - Neale :D

Crows have offered a burnt Balfours pie for Tippett (left over from his ads), Swans said to be considering the offer.

In hindsight we dodged a bullet with Tippett. Played his best footy with the crows and allowed us to play Jenkins, who is a bit more flexible than Tippett, and also save some cash
