I reckon Lewis Johnston, in particular because we also got rid of Armstrong..
Crouch looks like he will be an absolute gun in 2013, let's just hope the dreaded homesickness bug is out of the water in Adelaide by then!!

Yeah i agree with all of that danger, reckon Johnston could straight in. Reckon Brown will play a bit next year too.

Not sure about the trade for Jenkins, 31 seems a bit high for 22y/o in his first year as a rookie, can only assume that with 3 rucks in front of him at Essendon, he wanted more opportunities, and the crows saw something from him this year and thought he'd be a good get. Has anyone seen him play?

L. Johnston has a gunning kick 55 metres or so
But gets a bit lost around play
Hope he does well at Adelaide though  8)

Wasn't just 31 for him remember ;) was 41 + Jenkins for 31 so only a 10 pick downgrade for you guys... I've seen him play a bit and definitely has talent but is pretty soft & inconsistent still at VFL level & seemed a fair way off AFL level when I saw him.

Yeah fair enough BOOMZ, probably worth the punt then, just gotta work on the softness  ;D ;D

Darren Milburn was the best pickup  8)

yeah, i wonder why Sydney took Armstrong - maybe they want some legs out of half-back flank??  ???

Darren Jarman was the best pick-up I reckon although not TECHNICALLY in the trade week just gone. He's snuck over his playing weight I see.
