Yeah I must admit in my armchair no idea about the kids opinion none of them set my world alight post draft. Only Henry on that list has thus far shown he is AFL worthy but still early days.
McInness is going to be a GUN. Cruelled by injury so far. Get his body right and a good run with no injuries and look out :)

Where does that leave him now?
Do we re-sign him? Delist? Or look at another potential suitor?

I would most certainly sign this lad up...193cm and 80kg running midfielder

I would point him towards three goals for pre-season:

1) add 6-8kgs to his frame
2) work his guts out learning to kick on his right foot
3) align himself with Sidebottom in terms of preseason training and become an elite two-way runner

Could he be delisted and re-rookied? Not sure of the rules. Not much point in keeping him if all the chatter about home sickness is true.

Agree with WL lad in that if he wants to stay, have the discussion about some key goals and see if he's up for it.
It's never as good/nor bad as it seems...

He strikes me as the type of player who might just retire and become a tradie.

I saw that. Crows looking to accept a future 3rd rounder for Frampton.

I wonder if Port have any interest?

With those cheekbones and that beautiful head of hair?
Forget being a tradie. Definitely a future as an instagram influencer.

I get frustrated when a young man like Poulter has the goods (he has shown glimpses of it) but gives the impression he doesn’t apply him self and skills he has

We have players who continue to apply themselves to reach a high standard so this young man is either buying into a footy career or not

This one gon upset some heads...

Poulter to Crows in a straight swap for Matt Crouch. :shock: Adelaide to pay a small % of Crouch's contract, which is 1 year.

Will you handle a midfield packed with Adams, Mitchell and Crouch?

He never played with any sense of joy or excitement. He always looked depressed to me. I don't think footy is his thing.
