Keep up to date with the latest Crows rumors in our summary thread: Rumour - Rumours Thread for Rumors Only

If you post a new rumor here, let me know and I'll copy it over

 

[Ramify]

So would I, nothing to lose though I reckon Dodoro would leave it to the deadline to delist him hoping to get something.

Here's hoping he gets the arse before trade period like the other dominos.

There is definitely a player there, albeit miserable/temperamental from all accounts. Similar to Fog.
Cheap,Competitive,Native Key Backmen with foot skills is something we cant/shouldn't ignore.

 

[Brenton Davy]

Is Dodoro likely to still be at Essendon?

Bombers’ brutal ‘red and black wedding’ may not be over. These big calls still remain

There is that…

 

[George Kramer]

Alex Neal-Bullen is a best 22 player at the Dees

27 in January and we don’t need more forwards, plus we have players we need to develop.

 

[Moe Ron]

Whateley is sprouting Fogarty to Richmond.... What the actual *??

Did him mean Darcy or Lachie (from the Cats)...if Darcy, I'd be stunned that was actually true...Whateley better pass around what he is on

 

[Crow till I die]

I mean the only hypen-named players from South Australia are:

Jason Horne-Francis
Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera
Callum Coleman-Jones
Alex Neal-Bullen
Brandon Zerk-Thatcher

I wouldn't mind Zerk-Thatcher. The few times I have seen him he looks ok

 

[BACCS]

I think it’s the last one based on what I know about Essendon players and their anger at the club for what has transpired recently. Wouldn’t surprise if a few try getting out.

Is McAdam wanting to return to Perth

 

[Danger in Texas]

27 in January and we don’t need more forwards, plus we have players we need to develop.

Agree with this

BZT is 24 on the other hand, plays in a part of the ground where we need to upgrade, and averaged 13 touches/7 marks to finish the season (R16 onwards)

 

[BACCS]

Won’t be him returning home, loves the Demons (from a close school friend of his)

 

[Mutineer]

He goes alright in the midfield, no way he's getting much midfield with their midfield roster.

He was drafted as a midfielder..A bloody good one too

2014 Draft Profile: Alex Neal-Bullen

Alex Neal-Bullen (Glenelg) Height: 182 cm Weight: 77 kg Position: Midfielder Strengths: Contested ball winning ability, handskills in traffic, work rate Areas of improvement: Decision making by foot, top speed, size Player comparison: Toby Greene Alex Neal-Bullen is the typical hard nosed inside...

There’s no one to get excited about if it’s not Wanganeen-Milera

The lad from Sturt/ Murray Bridge went pretty well in the second half of the season. Thatcher.

Be cheaper than the Freo bloke.

Maybe if he’s good mates with Redman he can convince him to come back home as a FA next year, too

That was a long time ago, do you think we are going to alter his career and play him mid?

Must admit I know nothing about him. Which of our defenders would he be ahead of?

Not gonna lie, based on his form in the back half of the year he’d be ahead of both Butts and Murray

 

[Mutineer]

Well it seems we've told Rankine that's the plan with him, all I'm saying he was one of the best mids going around in his draft year so it's not out of the question because he's very versatile.

Completely different stages of their careers and development

Thanks - I don’t watch a huge amount of the crows but try and follow sa boys around the league.

I think Brandon had a pretty good balance of winning 1/1 and intercept with a pretty penetrating kick. Haven’t checked the recorded stats though - just my sense in watching some of his games

 

[Mutineer]

You do know even last year ANB played quite a bit of mid when Viney was out of action

 

[George Kramer]

Well you could have started with that

 

[Bob Neil]

I actually think ANB as the defensive forward would be both a nice complement to Rankine and Rachele and an upgrade on McAdam and Murphy. Wouldn’t be against it on the proviso it’s low cost.

 

[DaKids]

Funnily enough Brandon was drafted 2018 like Izak.

Both have struggled a bit but look to have been developed well. Both broke out this year. Not bad timing for the Crows haha

You’re all way off the mark. Clearly talking about George Horlin-Smith
