Nason could be Crows' answer

September 13, 2011
RICHMOND'S Ben Nason is looming as a piece in Adelaide's compensation puzzle for ruckman Ivan Maric.
Should Maric choose to continue his AFL career at Tigerland, Nason has expressed interest in returning to SA via this year's trade week.
Nason, who chalked up 19 games in his debut season last year, fronted just four times for the Tigers this season.
"We'd be open to look at it because he's struggled to find a niche in the forward line of the Tigers," Nason's manager, Paul Connors, confirmed last night.
"He's out of contract and he's just had an operation to clean up his shoulder but there's no doubt (he would consider it).
"Adelaide might want a bit more (for Maric) but we'd be open to be part of any trade."
Nason, drafted from SANFL club Central District at pick No. 71 in 2009, boasts clean kicking skills as well as an ability to finish in front of goal. Whether he can push up the field to develop into the outside midfielder Adelaide is seeking remains the key question.
"Certainly there's some strong family influences back in Adelaide," Connors said.

I'm liking the current Adelaide recruiter lol. He seems to want the players we are happy to let go - Tambling, Nason and perhaps Edwards.
I don't rate Maric and think it's a waste of time going after him but if the trade is Maric for Nason + pick 55 (our 3rd rounder) then it's similar to the Schulz-Farmer trade. Nothing to crow about but nothing to cry over either.
-
If Nason wants to be traded we should facilitate this. Is Maric better than Farmer?
-
Deal will probably be Maric + Adelaides 4th Rounder for Nason + Richmonds 3rd rounder.
I'd push for a straight player trade like Grigg for Collins.

Could be? He IS the answer Crow list managers. ;D
Maric for Nason. Sounds fair. Two guys that can't get a game.

Great post Wayne. Totally agree. Fair for both clubs. Lose nothing and gain something we hope will turn into anything better than nothing.

Nason lmao. I'm not a fan of this Maric but that isn't a fair trade. we may need to chuck in pick 90 ;D

So true. Nason for Maric should see the crows recruiter sacked and a gold statue of CC at Punt Road. Nason is small and not even good at VFL.

Nason was good for us last year, in fact he was a bit of a revelation in a really poo side come to think of it. This year he has been injured apparently. Some people have some short memories.

I would be surprized if they want Nason

He played one good game in all honesty. You just liked his hair

Reads to me like Zac Milbank of The Advertiser is just trying to create some Adelaide FC related news given not much is going on in SA with both Adelaide and Port in the bottom half of the ladder.
Zac Milbank thought: Hmmm, what AFC related news is out there (thinking, thinking, thinking)... that's it, the rumour about Maric. Perhaps I can link that with any other players from Richmond FC who grew up and played their junior footy in Adelaide!!! You little ripper Milbank. You've done it again.
For the record, wouldn't be disappointed to see Nason go.
-
nason doesnt have any value, he will be delisted, if they wanted Nason they could get him for their last pick in the ND or PSD, or even as a rookie.
Thoughts of a Maric for Nason deal is just fantasy

thats the problem with the RFC supporters we overvalue our players
We should be grateful with whatever we get for players like Nason, Edwards
Nason a revelation is about the most funniest thing ive heard all year.
Edwards has slight value given games played so an upgrade of picks would be our best outcome.
If anyone on here thinks the Crows or anyone would give us a 2nd rounder late at best for Edwards they are dreaming
Look at last years draft and players like Griffin & Jacobs went for very high picks so expect something similar for Maric
We should be trading for GWS players IMO and state grade players just like Freo did to grab Mzungu

daniel, I know I harp on this but facts are all clubs in the comp value players very differently to supporters.
Example: I think we agree Jackson because of his poor disposal and pathetic discipline is an average player at best and we reckon he isn't worth much.... can tell you that other clubs for reasons I truly cannot understand rate him ... why? who knows who cares but if they do then we should seriously look at moving him and others on

Very true WP.
The AFL rates Stanton completely differently than how the Essendon faithful do.

I feel a little sorry for Nason.
This year he was a real victim of the substitute rule.
