Cross Sloane off the list.
5 years for Sloan, surprised its that long
5 years for someone who’s nearly cooked?
We were never after him
Have to imagine the injury concerns scuppered some of the really big offers coming in and Crows maybe ended up best option desperate to avoid the continual exodus.
Plus he is a damn good player.
5 years? sheesh
Wow… surprised he got a contract that long.
I’m glad we didn’t get him though
thank goodness gracious for that
Will Setterfield would be my number 1 target, but doing some Sydney style trades for cheaper talent…
Luke Partington (mid)
William Drew (mid)
Jack Scrimshaw (mid)
Kieran Lovell (mid)
Hugh Goddard (kpd)
Kieran Collins (kpd)
Ben McKay (kpd)
Reckon they’d all be worth looking at for areas of need/depth. All young and (were) highly rated, if only we could get our player development working…
Astonishing offer for him. Guy was slow to start with and has become slower again. By the time 5 years up he will only be walking around the field.
Stringer going down highlights our need for another mobile 3rd tall back up. Given that Laverde has shown SFA in this role and Houlahan is still a ways off. Obv, a mid that can go fwd (Langers aside) would be ideal…
Not sure if there’s anyone cheap on the market who fits this bill?
Not really, darling.
Probably a longer contract on less money.
A win for both parties.
I have a bone to pick with him.
We have one, Stewart.
Have people forgotten about him already?
And Francis
Plenty of cover.
I’m not talking a Stewart, McKernan, Brown. These guys are 2nd talls to Joey.
It’s the more mobile Steinberg-esque 188-192 size hombre.
Francis isn’t a forward.
As mentioned, ideally it’s a mid that goes forward and is a genuine marking target / goalkicker ala Langers…
Do think we need 1 more on the list, that may end up being Laverde, but I’m sure many aren’t sold on him…

And Francis
Plenty of cover.
francis is not a forward.
