Would we raid Melbourne to get a disgruntled inside mid? Clayton Oliver played for our VFL side in 2015 before he was drafted.

Are you sure it is Oliver?

I have heard Brayshaw, and that the Demons will trade him for a reasonable offer as they have a number of similar players on their list.

Some talk in WA that the Dockers might look to trade using Cerra for Brayshaw and a swap of first round picks to try and land Kelly.

Brad Crouch to Richmond noise getting very loud, Saints an outside chance....and contrary to what Tiger 71 reckoned on the podcast,  he'll cost a first rounder at least...Adelaide very keen on Markov as well.. overs for mine..:shh

Why do we want Crouch? We should go for more kids.

With Crouch there, Dusty and Cotchin can play for longer as they don’t have to play that battering inside role as much.... :shh

Former Adelaide midfielder Andrew Jarman says the Crows should listen to offers for Matthew and Brad Crouch, should they come about.

The Crouch brothers are integral parts of the Adelaide midfield but with the side set to miss finals for the second year running since the 2017 Grand Final, now could be the time for change.

“They all want to know where the club’s going forward,” Jarman said on SEN Afternoons.

“The boys want to know what’s happening moving forward.

“Don Pyke has got two years left and Don needs to reinvent the program and freshen it up.

“I think Matt Crouch and Brad Crouch, if they had a massive offer, they would go.”

The brothers have been in and amongst the rumour mill in recent weeks, with moves back to Victoria being discussed.

Should Adelaide want to rebuild on the fly, moving the Crouch boys on could be a strong place to start because of their high currency.

Brad Crouch is contracted until the end of 2020, while Matt signed a three-year extension last year meaning that he won't be a free agent until at least 2021.

So after three years of being flag contenders on the back of pace, we'll now try and replicate the plodding, one-paced midfields of Adelaide & Melbourne...sounds like a foolproof plan...:shh

One argument is Crouch would help to fill the age bracket of midfielders where we've had some misses (i.e. Conca, Lennon, etc & Ellis as well if he leaves as expected).

The other thing is how long does Cotchin have. Multiple hamstring problems this year and will be 30 next year. Normally you would think he has two or three seasons left but looking at Lids and his last few years maybe Cotchin will not get on the ground as often so an extra mature capable mid maybe insurance. Then look to get kids like Ross and RCD up to full output.

I wouldn't even be surprised if Cotch retired if we won the flag.
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside that I really do

Why wouldn’t we go after Sier?

Young, big bodied inside mid that has proven he can find the footy.

At 191cm 88kg he ticks the boxes and I’m not sure why some wouldn’t want him at Richmond especially under our program alongside Cotch and Dusty.
The club that keeps giving.
