News Izak Rankine, Gold coast holding Rankine to Ransom- #FreeIzak

[Scorpus]

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

That last pic isn’t real surely…

So on radio this morning they said GC elaborated on the support they offered to Rankine, including a degenerative arthritic hip condition.

Keep talking him down GC. Only makes it less likely you'll get our 5th. We ain't giving that for ol' hipless.

No it is, caused a decent storm at the time. Bloke was wearing it on a train from memory

Yeah dont understand why they are talking him down, but hey happy to give them a 2nd rounder for him

The media and GC bashing has gone too far imo, his manager should call them out on it

 

[GameofSloanes]

You can bet on it.

FIGJAM
The GOAT

 

[GameofSloanes]

Definitely were rumours that he wanted out straight after the GF loss even though he signed 6 weeks before. I recall it as we refused to trade him but maybe we weren’t able to

Supposedly he wanted out because we didn't pick him, he thought he was fit but I saw him at training, could barely walk without a limp

FIGJAM
The GOAT

Yeah, I considered FIGJAM, not the GOAT.
How about as a subtitle:
"A Brownlow, but NO Flag" ...?
(well, so far)

Good way to get your arse kicked on a train then

Certainly aren't making themselves attractive to potential draftees with the reaction they're having.

If you want to leave prepare for them to burn you on the way out.

they're still trying to get him to stay supposedly

ok so why are GC prepared to pay 650 per year for a guy with one hip? he must hate them now for saying this stuff

Yeah, this feels Tex saying to Lever that he's "chased money instead of success" level of dumb.

Not sure trying to lay a guilt trip on him is the best way. Has a real abusive "don't you know what I've done for you? How dare you think about leaving" vibe to it.

i reckon they know this is the small stone that causes an avalanch and rowell and anderson and hollands woll be next

 

[Peter Doherty]

What do we think GC would be asking for?

They won't get it, there will be negotiation and compromise, but what do they want?

they want pick 5 and a player-not happening

they should accept next years first noting we may not be able to manufacture a mid to late first this year from points of other player trades

Next year's first is still overs. It could be anywhere from pick 4 to pick 8.

A bucket load of sympathy by the way they're acting

 

[Trigger13]

The Phillipou mail I trust. The Hopper stuff Im a little wary on.

Apologies if you’ve already answered this, but what is the issue with Phillipou? What are the red flags?

 

[GROTTO]

That last pic isn’t real surely…

Yes it is. I know even I thought that, but there is an article about it and I even quoted the discussion about this back in 2017.

Unbelievable.

it is overs thats why they should take it but may be too stubborn to

from being yelled at from their supporters on their board they want players not picks. they know they are basically just a farm for breeding players for everyone else

what is the context of these three pics?

They can have their pick of Keays, McHenry, Jones, Murphy, Milera, McAsey, Crouch, Hately, Brown, Rowe, Smith, Borlase, Davis. Surely one or two of those would interest them.

Suns really should be asking for players like Keays and 'Berg from us. They should be trying to get as many QLD players into their squad, at least it keeps a core group of them together and something they can build on.

Doesnt matter what pick we give them, players will inevitably want to go home. They need to target the right kind of players that will stay.

Even if we give Pick 5 to them and they take Phillipou, he will inevitably be ours in two years time if he is any good.

 

[GROTTO]

Quite a few idiots getting stuck into port supporters after getting flogged in showdown. Quite embarrassing really. Every team has em.

I struggle to understand why someone would do that to opposition supporters in person. Invariably it can and does easily escalate and lead to arguments, fights etc.

Majority of supporters do get emotional after a loss including myself, its never a time to lay the boots in when they are down.

There is going to be a lot issues this year at the G, if certain teams square off.

Nah, according to Volbeat..

We arent into Phillipou.. he and his family are rumoured to be powa flog supporters and want him to go to Powa..

They next Gold coaster we should be targetting is E. Hollands.

Crows supporter who looks to be every bit the gun he was touted to be in his draft year when he unfortunately did a knee.

Big bodied mid with class and elite skills.

Out of contract in 2024.

Perfect.. Suns will still have Cap drama’s (they will for years to come) and we’ll have some more big contracts (sloane 2023, B. Smith 2024) off the books and be flush with coin..

Make an offer the lad cant refuse and the Suns cant match.

Fxxk em.

Looks a real hard nut too..
