who confirmed? Past player? The guy who massages bum cheeks at half time? SOS? Don Pyke?

The best part of their radio show is the add breaks... Also, did you know you can get a Big Mac at breakfast now?

A bigger deal out west.
As mentioned a few times before in this thread,he has been on the list as a Rookie too long and can't be re-rookied. It is main list or de-listed as the only two options regarding Hunter.
Of course, I was mentioning that wouldn't the better course of action be a delisting and re-rooking? May have worded it poorly.
I don't see a point in upgrading Hunter, even if we need ruck depth.

I actually think this will happen.
Getting the Saints pick 4 is probably your only chance of getting one of those 3 now IMO.

yeah..can we sue trade radio spruiking a product for breakfast that increases the chance of diabetes and heart problems
Do you even need to ask? Do people ever give away their sources? I get info every now and then and generally it's very reliable.

It won't really matter because in 2 years they will request a trade back to Adelaide - and it won't be Port they ask to come to either as both are massive crows fans and Rankine apparently hates port. GC are a sinking ship and even if they offered 5 year contracts to try and keep these guys it won't matter as players now just ask for a trade in contract

I could believe that we'd have Rankine at a point of "if he's available and no one better, sure go for it", but not worth paying an substantial price for. We've already done a lot of the leg work to get him back at Adelaide in two years should he venture interstate. Equally, we've been very transparent that we would break the bank for Luko.
I doubt it's actually an issue whatsoever, we just rate other players significantly better. Rankine has a lot of flash, but his issue is position seeing you'd need to convert him elsewhere as small forward is not what you pay such a high price for... nor is Rankine that suited to it at the next level without a significant increase to his defensive game.
For those boys sake.... I hope not.
You could be right, but the way it came across it seemed like there was an issue. I think based on talent, he could be one of the best in the whole draft, so surely it's not based on that?
Port are up to their eyeballs in rozee

There potentially could be the need to grow up a bit/ego but the best players in the league all have had ego. Talent he'd certainly be up there but I don't have Rankine as a surefire bet to make it based purely on that he needs to change positions season 1.

That I could seriously believe, and I'm disappointed if true.
Rozee seems like a player Port would cream their pants for, almost a perfect Robbie Gray replacement.

You don't have to give away a source. Just trying to judge how likely your source is likely to know.
Eg it's very unlikely a former player would know anything...
I would be disappointed not go get Rankine think hes exactly what we need.
Hopefully we can get them all back soon!
Unfortunatly that's all the info I got. Rankine isnt a high priority for us. But yeah, baffles me really. He has all the talent, we have some great mentor types at the club. It doesnt make a whole heap of sense but they are the ones doing the legwork and know best
Agreed surely we could swap Kelly to Collingwood, pick 51 to GCS and KK to us
Sorry mate, cant give much away, just that it's generally reliable. Who knows what happens man, things change, but you would think most of the draft preferences would be locked in, now just down to who's available.
The other day on the radio (I think it was trade radio), a question was asked about Rankine's off-field antics to one of the S.A development coaches (I think)
It seemed like he may have a reputation that we're not interested in.
You're sounding like dead horse.
Golumless

That's fair, we can only speculate from here. It does make some sense though.
It could simply just be a case of Rankine isn't a high end KPF/midfield prospect (I have my questions despite an apparently solid contested game) and therefore just isn't worth the extra effort to obtain right now, despite the talent.

All good.
Im sure we do the right thing! #INHAGGISWETRUST
Will we only trade up for Luko or would we go for a Rozee/Smith-type as well?
All good if you didn’t find that out
He has been on our rookie list for 3 years. At this point there are 3 options available - delist him, promote him to the senior list, or trade him. If we delist him, then we have the option of re-drafting him in the rookie draft (if he chooses to nominate). We cannot have him on our rookie list in 2019, unless we delist & re-draft him.
I'm not sure what you mean by "he open slather" or "he the Fall back option".
What was the answer? Being in the spotlight you would think we would hear something?
