Rumour 2023 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 37!, 1 (busted) BIG FISH ALERT last October 9th) (9 confirmed! 17 Busted!)

Come on folks ..

"But, while it will not be introduced ahead of this year's free agency window that opens on Friday, the League is pondering whether the length of a contract becomes part of its formula in deciding free agency compensation in the future."

Not introduced ahead of..
Doedee signs on Friday to old rules.
Future becomes present.
AFL implements changes.

 

[PeterSalt]

Do I really need to point out I was joking?

The conspiracies aren't really a joke anymore

 

[1990crow]

Leek Aleer was a pick 15 in the 2021 draft, you think they’ll give him up for Berg?

Maybe.

 

[Golumless]

We still need to draft at least one tall, preferably a ruck. Toby Pink was mentioned as defensive cover too.

Yup, we're long overdue to draft talls and this is seemingly a talls draft. Ruck or KPF/Ruck would be ideal and I wouldn't be against using/retaining a second round pick to grab one.

Though, I really can't shake the feeling we see TT as a ruck and may be ready to pull the trigger on that. That Chol interest was really odd, especially with a reported 3 year deal.

 

[MrBarry]

Typical Crows, lose McAdam, Doedee and Berg and get nothing much back.

Trade week hasn't even opened.

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Lemme tell ya, its been a rough 24 hours. Oliver said to the Crows "Come over, there's nobody home." We went over there, there was nobody home!

 

[Hodgy]

I think it's unlikely a club would cut their losses for one of the best players in the competition

Depends whether you believe an 7 year younger Harley Reid is generational.

 

[Samcro24]

Lemme tell ya, its been a rough 24 hours. Oliver said to the Crows "Come over, there's nobody home." We went over there, there was nobody home!

Apparently Nicks and Oliver have been going out to dinner twice a week.

Nicks goes on Tuesdays, Oliver goes on Thursdays.

 

[relapse]

Apparently we dropped out of the chol race earlier in the week... hmst've

I suspect we would have dropped out once Burgess was announced.

Interesting part further down in that article:

Clubs are not allowed to alter the terms of any restricted free agency deal throughout the life of its contract. – Riley Beveridge​

If they can't then can someone explain to me what did Brisbane do with Danihers contract?

 

[George Kramer]

WaynesWorld19 strikes again, delete your post

 

[PeterSalt]

If they can't then can someone explain to me what did Brisbane do with Danihers contract?

He must've been an UFA (unrestricted free agent)

 

[Runnin Blue]

What does Ruby Clydesdale think?

 

[Scorpus]

I wouldn't trust Chol in an AFL grand final to perform.

I'd trust him over Frampton or Himmelberg. At least Chol has shown something, anything at AFL level

 

[jackster83]

I bloody well hope not, he can't kick the Sherrin to save himself.

Since when do you dismiss players because they can't kick?

 

[Peter Doherty]

Lemme tell ya, its been a rough 24 hours. Oliver said to the Crows "Come over, there's nobody home." We went over there, there was nobody home!

She thought I was Don Juan, but really.... after one I was done!

 

[1990crow]

I wouldn't trust all 3.
Collingwood won despite Frampton, not because of him.
If McStay played they would have won by 4 goals.

 

[1990crow]

We had Aleer in our Academy for years, he is a very poor kick, hence why he handballed so much...obviously instructed to do so.

He'd be backup development type. Lost value since draft.

 

[Scorpus]

I remember him being such a bizarre first round selection

 

[relapse]

No Oliver. Move on.

Get excited about a reserves player who couldn't make the firsts in a team that finished bottom 4, and 5 places below us.

This will pretty much will sum up our trade period

 

[Bearded Clam]

His hypocricy knows no bounds..

Like Berry?

Berg is garbage. Doedee is injury prone. Mcadam is a bit of a loss but didn't play most of the year and we were still the highest scoring team in the league. Disappointing if we dont bring anyone in when we should be a destination club. Looks like we put all our ends in the Redman basket. Unless a player falls in our lap and wants to come home our club doesn't know how to attract players.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Caro says it's strange that the media today has all been that Oliver is staying, but no one will confirm it

 

[Crow till I die]

Burgess is the Himmelberg replacement. Worrell will be the Doedee replacement. Who is the McAdam replacement???
