LOL

This boards infatuation with Rankine is next level, pray tell how do we turn Matt Crouch into Rankine given Matt's a Restricted Free Agent.

The Crouch compo and our second becomes the WB first rounder.

The WB first rounder and Melb second becomes Rankine.

Its an interesting conundrum the club has got itself in with Crouch and our senior mids. It seemed to me earlier in the year that either Laird or Crouch would potentially be moved on and with Laird re signing, it leaves Crouch in a precarious position. Old Crows, the make the eight and anything could happen Crows, would sign him up to a 4 year deal and trot out Crouch, Laird, Sloane and Keays at centre bounces from here on out. Will list management see the writing on the wall with our surplus of similar types and have the tough convo with Crouch about seeking a trade?

Don't get me wrong, at his his best Crouch is a more than serviceable mid. We've currently got two mids in Laird and Keays who are matching or exceeding Matts best output though, a small defender and a delisted rookie. Putting loyalties aside to me its a no brainer, If we could turn Crouch into Rankine as an example we should be doing it.

Keays is not remotely near Matt Crouch's best output.

Keays is not remotely near Matt Crouch's best output.

Debateable, how often have we seen Crouch at his best? 2017 and the tail end of last year?

We won't be trading for rankine this year. He's ooc in 2022.

Simply by matching and forcing a trade like what Geelong had to do with Cameron and if CGS believe Rankine will leave the following year.......

 

[Footypie32]

good, operation get rankine 2022. they dont deserve both rankine and luko regardless. they were given a priority pick because they couldnt keep their gun players and then punished the rest of the league for it, fu** off.

Perhaps Francou leaving was all part of our master plan?

Make it look like we had a falling out, then send him to GC to cuddle up to Rankine and Luko.

Bring him back a few years later with those 2 in tow. Similar to Nicks and Hately.

Genius.

 

[TryAnHit]

Luko is a mile better than rank if both were gettable

 

[Footypie32]

Could be there for our 2nd rounder now..with roberts maybe dropping down the order a bit with his injury..

I see Hamish has been hiding out in carparks with a baseball bat.

Sometimes you have to create your own draft sliders.

And that all falls apart when Matt is happy to stay if we match.

Cameron made it clear he wanted out, I've not heard or seen any indication that's the case with Matt.

 

[hey shorty]

Arlo Draper has a syndesmosis injury, will miss this champs.

 

[Crows I Am]

Saints winning tonight helps our draft position, if we lose to the Blues and Collingwood get up against Freo we are suddenly back at pick 4.

 

[Thunderstruck]

Gutted for Draper, he's just about my fav player from this crop, hope it's not as long as Roberts

 

[Deaneus!]

Hey! The Saints win pushed us down a spot on the ladder!


thanks guys!!!

 

[Mego Red]

Thanks for the draftee bios, Mutineer!

I'm excited that we might be getting Rankine!

 

[DaKids]

Bad news for young Arlo but that might just be good news for Crows. I felt he was tracking as a bit of a bolter with his reserves form. Certainly inside the top 10.

I still don’t think he’ll last all the way to Crows 2nd BUT, Crows may at least be a chance now if they can trade up a bit.

Yep for mine was criminally underrated. Have him at 5 atm.

Both have been disappointing. Luko is a bit unaccountable. Not sure why he gets such a huge pass on this board considering those types of players generally cop the most shit.

Absolutely agree.

6’5”, 21 year old averaging 20 touches in their third season and with elite disposal is shit. Do not want.

I think Izak is a beauty but might benefit from being in a team where he can just be a role player through until about 70-80 games.

Strikes me that there is an expectation he has to be performing party tricks all the time which is not AFL football. I think Nicks is creating a pretty good team first, unselfish culture down there. Might suit young Izak development to just blend in to a role for a while.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I’m torn. I want to watch us win. But if we lose to Carlton, and Collingwood beat Fremantle, and Gold Coast beat North then we will be back with a top 3 draft pick.

I haven't seen much from Izak that makes me think he will ever be a team first type player that will ever "just blend in", quite selfish actually.

 

[Thunderstruck]

It's always been that way with Rankine. He's as talented as a human specimen can come but it's all about Izak, so until he learns to be a team player he will be prone to wild swings in his performance.

Only 2 more games I desperately want to win ahead of any draft position - showdown and this one.

Maybe so. If he were to end up here i wpuld have him playing out of a forward pocket with bursts on the wing to start with with a view if he could get his output up to playing him majority on the wing
