Would be interesting to see what the Crows would want for Meesan. I would assume Clark will probably retire and they will get Hudson back from injury and still have Biglands. They also have Ivan Maric who seems to have moved ahead of Meesan, and another young ruckman in Jonathon Griffin so they may be tempted to let him go for the right price. Personally I don't think the ruck is a huge priority for us, Simmonds will be around for quite a while, Knobel is a handy backup and they both give Pattison and Graham time to develop with Hall able to fill in when needed. Certainly would be happy to get him for the right price though.

Gardiner is a cancer and I would object strongly to us getting him. He has shown no signs of improving his off-field behaviour so we shouldn't be going anywhere near him. I also don't see the point in recruiting anyone that old. Chances are by the time we are able to contend for a premiership they would be gone, so what's the point (especially with his injury history, 126 games in 9 seasons)? We need to be building from the bottom up, not the top down. His form has been pretty poor since coming back from injury, I don't think we should be taking a risk on a player like that. I'm not convinced he is over his injuries, hasn't played a game yet this season.

I wouldnt trade Meyer, I think he fits exactly what Wallace wants in a player. I reckon we will pick up 1 player from another club. Player will be a player who could play for atleast 8 to 10 years and will fit the Wallace profile... lol
I can be such a bastard sometimes  ;D

about gardener, he is a gun player, his injuries are healed and who cares what he does off feild , he can win a premiership and thats what counts]

We didn't offload one player with poor off-field behaviour to bring another older one in but there's more to it than that. We should stay far far away as Jezza says.

since the start of teh yr, gardiner has been good, has got into no trouble, and in WA they are saying he has changed. i think he would be good 4 us, as lontg as he pulls his head in and i reckon terry can and will be good 4 him

I used to rate Wirripunda - almost a champion - until I saw how loose he can be when Neon Leone carved him up.

I dont intend to continue with this nonsense but I will say that Wirrpanda is not the player. For now thats the end of the story...wait and see...if it gets out into the media in the next weeks or months then i will confirm that that is the player...but for now the information has been passed on and i imagine our management are looking into it.

why do we want meyer, first of all he's soft like all glenelg boys, yeah he's fast and has a good leap but the prob is he is homesick. was talking to a few lads from sacred heart (redden whos is now rookie at crows) and another bloke and they reckon he's fairly keen to come home. do we really want a bloke who doesn't want to be at our club???????

furthermore, meesen for meyer good swap? ;D

Meyer has foot skills that embarrass those of our senior players. Arguably the best kick on our list IMHO. Yeah he's still light on and gets pushed off the footy but he did put on 6kg over last preseason to go from 70 to 76 kg. A similar weight gain next preseason would put him near the playing weight he needs to be for AFL footy.
