Only a 350-400k player who can barely get on the park and is bad at disposal and turnovers. Think it's a lose lose situation for both parties. Not worth more than a pick in the 27- 35 range so should jump at anything above it.

Crow's will hope Edwards nominate the club as father son and a later pick for academy Borlase who are guns. Two early draft picks to pick up a few more gun mids before matching bids. Might even get Hately for a pick around the 20s by cutting Crouch.
Yeah, was being a bit tongue in cheek actually re. Essendon’s current rabbleititus.

Imagine if a rebuilding club picked up both McCarthy and McCartin for pretty much nothing whilst being payed peanuts. Someone like Crow's or kangaroo's add them plus having 2 first round picks could fast track rebuilds with no risk. Worth a punt by either as it won't compromise rebuilds.

Be remiss of any club not to ask the question ? Does he have to nominate for the draft ?

Similar to McCartin , reading a article yesterday that he is ready to try again.

In all seriousness though, he surely won't get picked up would he? He left GWS because he was so homesick, Eagles don't need forwards like him atm (JJK, Darling, Allen, Brander, Waterman, Williams) which means he'd have to leave his home state again which means in my mind that's him done.

Probably was back 2015-16 when it happened. Strange things do happen as Polec went to port as go home factor but then ends up at North a few years later.

very good point

he might go back and play WAFL and then think to himself average wage of $ 330k in the AFL is quite handy 😀

don't know all of his circumstances I am sure his agent will be putting his name out and about though to look at all possible options

Brisbane has offered Big Charlie the chance to join Little Charlie according to 7 News , 4 year deal.

Bit of chatter about Crouch heading to Port.
