plus dont judge with all the carlton players but i heard Mick Malthouse wants to delist/trade up to 10+ players

[Ricochet]

can add Ellard to that list as well. Quite a few Carlton and Essendon players up there

[phil5158]

yeah i know but with David Ellard i recently heard Malthouse has a soft spot for him sot we'll wait and see what happens

but two carlton players catch my eye and its what we need desperately

Robert Warnock and Shaun hampson these two would be perfect backup ruckmen for Sam Jacobs who i think has just tired out to quickly this year its obvious he cant do it all on his own

his backups are only really Shaun mckernan (weak) and Angus Graham ( dont think hes to good in AFL)

[Rusty00]

I don't think Warnock or Hampson are the answer for Jacobs' backup. The problem with Carlton is they have too many ruckman who are average when resting forward. If either of these 2 came to the Crows they'd be in the same situation. McKernon is the type of player they need for their setup but he hasn't come on like they hoped.

I think Betts would be a good fit for the Crows as they could do with a 30-40 goal small forward.

I don't mind Hampo up forwards actually, reckon he's got a great pair of mitts on him!

Average kick for a goal though  :P

Anyone know how Angus Graham has been playing in the SANFL this season? i personally don't rate him but you'd think they might give him a game or two to find out whether he is a viable option if Jacobs gets injured.

Don't know in terms of actual performance wise, but in terms of stats this is what he has done this year...

15 games for Sturt, resulting in an average of 5.67 kicks, 4.73 handballs, 4.20 makrs, 1 FF, 1.67 FA, 1.27 tackles, 23.73 hitouts per game, plus 11 goals 7 kicked for the season. Equating to an average DT score of 68.73. Averaging just 10 disposals a game is not very impressive.

[the flying hawk]

you can have Xavier Ellis and can keep him clever but to injury prone. but that could change

[Capper]

Dont think Grima will leave North

[tbagrocks]

I've heard Gorringe linked with Port, wouldn't say no though!

Eddie Betts is apparently being targeted, has family over here ;)

[Noz]

You guys should be only targeting from that list Nick Duigan, Tayte Pears, Jeremy Laidler, Colin Sylvia and Daniel Gorringe

Getting another key defender would be vital for the crows going forward

Sylvia brings that X-Factor half forward role which will also be a vital component of Adelaide in 2014

Gorringe to pinch hit for Jacobs

[SydneyRox]

What about Syndeys Jesse White?

[Noz]

What about Syndeys Jesse White?

Sydney would want fair too much in return from Adelaide i reckon.
