Mod note:

Opposition posters making outlandish trade suggestions to bait the Crows board will be considered trolls and dealt with in the usual manner

No one wants a repeat of the Gibbs thread

Seems like a bit of a character, I reckon crows fans are going to love him. We need more personality in the sport and our team!

[weekend at bernies]

With McAdam aerially taking marks, Fog taking strong chest marks, with Rankine and Rachele to gobble up any spilled marks, it does make it exciting.

Thats not even including Tex and TT to take the big tall one on one marks either.

Now we just some elite mids to deliver the ball.

Ill see you elite mids and give you a McHenry

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

So Rowey has said the Crows have told him that:

Rankine is on no where near $800k
Hes playing midfield
And......we arent giving up pick 5!!!!

Wow, going to be an interesting trade period

so long pick 5

 

[1990crow]

so long pick 5

Another 6ft midfielder. What could go wrong.

 

[Crow till I die]

lol that guy is extra salty.

Whats he going to be like if it ends up nothing like pick 5 and its a mid to late 1st and a swap of later picks....Is there a resident doctor on BF as he might need access to one

 

[LeftyLuke]

Must mean we are prepared to go the preseason draft to be that adamant.

Not necessarily. I think a fair deal can be worked out as we did with Dawson. It's all about whether gc want to be realistic or not. If they aren't realistic in their expectations they are just drawing out the inevitable that they will except a fair deal over getting nothing.

Well we did go after the melbourne 1st last year and got it to use in a trade so maybe we are going to again be right on the front foot here

Nicks: "Hold my beer that your playing midfield Izak. Our defence is looking a bit light on."

 

[George Kramer]

Should we put the toolshed on it?

Just a hungy

In terms of a rebuilding forward line, Rachele, Rankine, Fogarty and TT is a forwardline that can win you a flag imo.

We just need the midfield sorting...

I'm not trolling....but.....firstly, Rowe is a massive tool on par with Rucci and second, how on earth can the crows prize out a talent like that without giving up pick 5 plus some? He was pick 3 in the best or second best super draft, he's 22 (i think) and going to be a star, likely multiple AA.

What would you demand for Rochele if he wanted to go home to Vic next season?

In my case if Butters wanted to go home, I'd be demanding nothing less than top 5 pick.

How did Geelong prize out Dangerfield basically the best player in the competition without giving much away at all?

Simple really, once a player nominates a club - you don't have much leverage.

He was a free agent. Makes it a lot easier. Can't remember whether he was unrestricted or restricted free agent though.

We can use our first round pick next year and keep pick 5 this year

 

[Drewie11]

We are giving up pick 5, if you think it’s not going to happen then you are delusional. We were trying to trade up to 3 to get him. It is now pick 5 and he has finally realised what he needs to do to play at the level. Pick 5 will be seen as a bargain at the end of his career

Its because they don't need to its not because hes not worth it.

If Adelaide were to use pick 5, they might as well just take him in national draft (not PSD) for pick 5 and GC get nothing. Therefore, by simple logic it wont be pick 5. Unfortunate for GC but thats what it is. It will be less than that. Just IMO 1st pick 2023 which will be more pick 7-10 and Adelaide will use pick 5 on a big body mid.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

kirky and Kane McGoodwin, too:
None of the 3 of you is over 65, right?

Nowhere near 65 or retirement!

My Mum only retired a couple of years ago.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

He was restricted. That’s why they needed to trade with us because we could match and we had the money to do so. And because we’d finished up the ladder we were only going to get a pick in the teens as compo if he left via free agency.

NEVER FORGET.

In this case we would use ND not pre-season draft if worst came to worst. Not ideal but very bad for GC.

No point GC saying we want your pick 5 and another first round pick when we can pick him with pick 5 at National Draft.

I reckon TT mat have a breakout year next season.

Our forward line looks really exciting for the future.

No way goldcoast will agree to that crap deal and no way Rankine will agree to go the PSD route because he'll definitely end up at one of Westcoast, North or the Bombers.

 

[Ramify]

He specifically says "Not PSD".
ND is the threat I doubt we end up playing, but it is leverage somewhat.

The crows want rankine bad (as any club would) and if there's 10 minutes to go in the trade period and GC not budging then I guarantee crows will cough up pick 5.
