Matt Crouch /Dougle Howard

Post: # 1827555Post The Recruit »

News from some ITK over at Big footy (where Jonny is now because people on this site are often negative and agressivly negative to those that share information)

Is that Ratten and Lethelan went to SA today to meet with a player that could be interested in coming to the Saints.

Matt Crouch

Would be a very good get and easily be in our top 5 players if not best midfielder.

No need to attack me, just feel sorry for those that arnt on both platforms. Happy to share the info and chat from BFooty

Post away this type of stuff and forget about the idiots that jump on both ITKs and people just passing on any tidbit they hear.

Thanks for positing.

Something must be going on (?)
Why go to Adelaide just to get Ryder for a late pick

Hope it wasn't his Bro, the one that is seeking overs, and for 5 years.

let the Crows have the Crouches... :roll: :roll:


The Saints are under review, will it make any difference to the underachievers ?

Can I buy a vowel?

Through media reporting we know we have spoken to Paddy Ryder, Sam Gray & Dougal Howard. Is it one of those players or someone different?

Thanks Jax
As I said I was passing on the rumour mill and a few guys info they had on BF but glad Jaxons has helped shed light on the facts.
Howard would be good.
Remember we were into Haynes big time before he became a star and many here were not keen to pay too much for him.....so don’t underestimate the current individuals down on the clubs ability to identify talent. If they are after Howard he must have potential.

Again thanks Jax

We need a Full Back!!

He is 23 and listed as 199cm and 92kg and has good agility

Played 15 games this year - some down back and some forward

See below from a Port Supporter on BF

"Was in AA form as a defender earlier in the year and was 2nd only to Harris Andrews for spoils/one percenters last year. Spoils dropped more this year as he became better at intercept marking. Form went to s**t when he was moved forward then dropped and didn’t come back in

As a defender he is absolutely elite and looks primed to be one of the best young key defenders in the league"

He is contracted to Port until 2022 so it might take a bit to pry him loose and there are a few other clubs in for him as well (North?)

I'd be very interested in him.

From the highlights reel seems to be able to play.

Rubbish. Ted was a troll here in multiple ways . That is why people reacted to him the way that they did.

Also going on recent posts on BF they have all wised up to him him as well with a number now calling him a troll.

On BF they always welcome new ITK's, but they have now realised that Ted is a troll.

There are some genuine ITKs on BF on the Saints Board, but Ted is not one and never has been.

1./ If Ted is your source disregard. Ted in all his time here, and what I have seen on BF has only ever posted what someone in the media had said, has been on FB (ie probably wrong) or what another most has said.

As he posts everything is mainly wrong.

So if you want to believe Ted go for it.

2/ The credible people I have read on BF only say that Matt was never an option. Only Brad was, with most tipping he will stay at the Crows.

I think that anyone that hasn’t figured it out by now simply doesn’t want to.

Ppl love ITKs and there’s no need or demand (historically) for anyone to actually provide a source or back up info. However, when you frequently misrepresent what your posting as being sourced credibly and ppl get wise to you... well that’s ted.

Adding ‘watch this space’ and ‘big news’ to garbage found on FB or even less credibly the Herald Sun doesn’t make garbage sources less credibly.

Alternatively you look at someone like Tony who posts a source but has a track record that has stood up over time even with the odd miss hit and you appreciate what you get.

It’s all about credibility

Is Howard better than Logan Austin who we also got from Port from memory?
