Post: # 1148681Post WinnersOnly »

2 weeks ago Rucuitto mentioned that chris knights was still likely to leave the crows - would we be interested?

Yes, but knights leaving seems to be an annual event that never happens

He's a lazy footballer, can't even be bothered leaving the club!

I played junior football with chris knights never met a harder worker. In fact his whole family are extremely hard workers. In saying that though i believe his body has let him down and he would be a risk to recruit at his best he would be a 200 gamer for any club but he is a liability.

Only if he comes to us in the PSD.

I love the bloke, think he's a quality footballer, but he's not the difference between a premiership in 2012 or not.

So I say go for youth. If we manage to get him through some miracle, it would just be a bonus.

I don't think St Kilda would want to pay enough. We'd maybe offer our second rounder or maybe Jason Gram but Adelaide would be after way more than that.

Worth a punt, he's certainly an upgrade on dour defensive forwards such as Eddy and Mini. In reality though you wouldn't want to give up anymore than a third or fourth rounder with his injury concerns. I'd be happy to see him come via a trade with a player instead.

Would love to have Knights, - don't think they would have a hope of getting him for a 3rd or 4th round DP - maybe not even a 2nd round :shock:

Needs a good kick up the bum, but would certainly entertain the thought of trading for him.

When onsong, his kicking his first class.

He's a good player, but lacks consistency. Given a key role though, I can see him excelling.
