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

 

[latinoheat]

I'm told Collingwood will contribute about $300K and a few "retirements" are immanent. Higgins and Dalhaus are certainties with strong rumours circulating around Selwood and Danger.

Winning the flag this year changes the list at Geelong a lot I think.

Some guy rang 5aa today and said the Crows have someone else on the cards and we will know more in next 48 to 72 hours . Rowey was pressing him and he didn’t wish to give anymore info but sounded like he definitely knew something.

Sounded more like he'd had a couple of west coast coolers at the golf course to me.

The Crows are a young exciting team and that attracts players. I am not surprised we are being linked with players now. Rankine's interest will be appealing to others considering the move too.

There’s one thing just as good, if not better, than playing for a team that has a really good coach like a Clarko or Hardwick etc..

its playing for a team that has one of the worlds best fitness guru’s…



I wouldnt be under estimating the impact this bloke can have on a players game.. just ask the current Dees players what they think of him.. players would want to be trained by this bloke.

Hi Guys, I’m a long time reader and first time poster, huge crows fan….Needless to say very hesitant posting on a forum like this as I’ve watched others cut down for posting information they’ve heard. I have a source on the goldy who is in business with a current GCS player. They say the current player has said that Rankine to the crows is very much in play … crows offer is 4 years at 650k, apparently Izak is hoping GCS will match the money to stay but the longer it drags on the more likely Izak is to leave and is warming to the idea of heading home to be closer to family. The players have asked Rankine if he is staying and he is being very coy and non committal when asked.
Just passing on what I’ve heard and not wanting to kick a hornets nest! Will likely be my only post on BF

Stoked that this one panned out to be accurate (albeit with the sums slightly off from what’s been reported) …. Confident the deal will get done. I’ve not heard further details from my source on the situation, If I hear any details of what the deal may look like il drop it in the thread.

[Coopers]

Wanganeen-Milera hopefully

If that is how it actually happens, it is the least efficient and messiest way possible to do it. I would find it very unusual if that is the case. What makes you so certain of this?

That would require an assignment or novation, and then significant variations on clauses that address salary, length, and any other changes to account for the differences between the contracts that the respective teams put in front of players.

Simplest way would be that the parties agree mutually to terminate the existing contract, and the player enters into a new contract with the new club. There might even be a specific clause which addresses termination resulting from a successful trade.

Stop waffling

No functional difference, just some word salad on how to paper the transaction

 

[kirky]

The major benefit of Dawson and Rankine coming to Adelaide dispel the thought we are not a destination for returning players.

It also helps with the transition of the side to a younger cohort.

Going to be an exciting ride.

Also Barrett: 2 x 1st round picks

The Vic media are delusional.

They will demand two top 10 picks for Rankine, while also claiming we are over paying him and he's not good.

Then they will turn around in the next breath and talk about how Taranto is an absolute Champion and makes a team in to a premiership contender, whilst claiming that a first round pick should be sufficient.

And they will see no conflict there.

The Taranto move just feels like Shiel all over again. Neither are particularly great by foot, but will have 3 or 4 really good games a season to keep people off their backs.

Taranto is, always has and will be, better than Shiel

Shiel hasn't been the same since Cotchin knocked him out. His shoulders being absolutely stuffed doesn't help. Was a serious jet before that though.

 

[Volbeat]

You’ve had dealings with guy who rang 5AA?
What was his name?

Anthony, why?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Anthony, why?

Did he say that on the show? Was curious how you knew it was him.

The Vic media writes for a Vic audience - we shouldn't be surprised.

yeah Rowey annouced him as Anthony. He confirmed it to my friend (I have blocked him haha)

Except that for most of them it is 'supposed' to be for a National market.

Disagree, Shiel was a serious player at the Giants, but has fallen away at Essendon. Both are similar in that they can rack up big numbers and hit the scoreboard, but both are also average by foot.

Have you got any hint as to who the player might be?

They don't even bother hiding their bias for the VAFL anymore.
