Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 33!, 1 BIG FISH ALERT last October 4th) (7 confirmed! 11 Busted!)

[Crow54]

Are you kidding? Tex going to Collingwood? I hope hell freezes over first.

 

[GreyCrow]

I just see this time and time again - aging player chasing 1 more contract - wants extra padding and gets a diet offer - nekminnit 2 year offer screams from the side

Standard management play

 

[Mr_Moogle]

How would the club apologist types spin that? A club champion and die hard Crows man like Tex leaving to find success elsewhere. There would be some epic mental gymnastics on display, especially after all the crap about how Nicks "changed the culture".

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Would be tough watching him play elsewhere

Right call for him? Hmmm
Right call for us? Double hmmm

 

[Dirty Bird]

Or maybe it's Tex's parting gift to us?

He saw Buckley leave Brisbane to chase a premiership only for his old club to win. Maybe he loves the Crows so much he knows it's the sacrifice he has to make?

"He's a champion of the club and deserves a chance to win a Premiership and this will be great to allow the you guys to take over"

 

[MsTopG]

He will re-sign with us, but Tex has had 2 year deal tabled by Collingwood

He won't up end his life for an extra year somewhere else. 1 year extension. Sloane needs to be retired though.

Pies have gone for Tex like every year since 2020 too, so if he didn't leave at the end of 2020 or 2021 I can't see him packing up now.

I volunteer to look after his house at Unley Park .

 

[BunjiMC]

If he did go to the Pies, all power to him. Would be the best way to set up his career after footy. All the Vic media would suddenly love him.

it's a different conversation at 33 then it is at 28

 

[glengowan]

What would be the compensation for Tex?

 

[Betts are off]

I don't see Tex ever leaving. But man, if he had the Daicos brothers, Pendles, and Sidebottom kicking to him on the lead (rather then to his opponents advantage side over and over), he would probably be a 70+ goal forward.

 

[Bearded Clam]

What would be the compensation for Tex?

Oh…. A first rounder for sure.. yeah?…

 

[MRB37]

What would be the compensation for Tex?

Not much if anything on a 2 year deal.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

What would be the compensation for Tex?

A Daicos or no deal.

 

[dude316]

A Daicos or no deal.

…and that’s the story of how 61 year old Peter Daicos came to play for Adelaide.

 

[GreyCrow]

Poor Shane McAdam dropped again

 

[GROTTO]

What would be the compensation for Tex?

Sloane given another year at the Crows. lol.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

That would depend on how much stock you place in the idea that the club is rebuilding.

 

[ams4crows]

If Tex left I would feel so hollow and my love of the AFC would slowly die, to be fair it's been dying since 2017, I've lost all passion for the sport... It's quite sad really but there are better things in life to invest time and energy into these days that bring more joy to life

 

[FR0GGY]

Collingwood closer to a flag now though.

[FR0GGY]

How would the club apologist types spin that?

“best list management in the comp”

 

[Anzacpaul]

Standard manager leak.

We'll definitely offer 1 year so I can't see him leaving the state for an extra year.
