Question, as my intel has dried up.

Does anyone actually have anything? Or is this just a pissing contest thread?

sorry to hear your intel has dried up. Pretty much no one has anything other than their old fella in their hand

 

[Twist_of_Lemon]

Chad Warner? You would just give him a blank cheque and a pen and tell him to write down whatever he wants to join the Crows....

Imagine in some alternate universe we managed to get Oliver and Warner....

You'll get nothing and you'll like it.

Speak for yourself. I call it my unemployed housemate.

Nobody has anything, just hopes and dreams. I haven't been keeping track of the thread in order to thread mark actual rumours and keep a tally in the thread title like last year.

May need to start a new thread to have similar to what we had last year that had total rumours and the date of the last one in the the title so people don't have to wade through all the shit that doesn't mean anything.

I posted some intel late last week, but I’m not sure there will be many exciting rumours to report from our perspective this year. The biggest name I think we are a genuine prospect of getting is Luko, but that’ll be likely when he’s out of contract and highly doubtful it would be this year.

McCluggage very unlikely to leave
LDU won’t leave Vic and that won’t be this year anyway
Zhuuhar and English probably go home to Perth, unless we blow the Eagles out of the water for English (even then it’s unlikely)
Hayward just wants more money from the Swans
Perryman linked to Port
Cumming maybe? Not sure if we are keen at all and never been linked from any solid source
Might look at a young ruck from another club that’s 3rd or 4th in line

Am I missing anyone?

Is Petty still linked to us?

 

[BACCS]

Is Petty still linked to us?

Not if Rucci is to be believed. Tbh, it doesn’t really make sense anymore with Keane coming on and even Borlase proving to be good depth. It seems unlikely until he’s out of contract.

 

[kirky]

Wasn't Jobs' death possibly preventable but he choose alternative medicines instead?

The best healthcare doesn't work if you don't accept it.

No, he had pancreatic cancer of which there is no cure.

Once diagnosed it is just a matter of time, some live for years, others like my father died in 2 months from diagnosis (we think he had it for 12 months but didn’t let on).

It is horrendous and his gaunt face just before he died still haunt me 12 years later.

 

[MRB37]

Unless we see Keane moving out as a way to help get Petty?

Jarrod Berry?

Rather keep Keane if its a straight choice personally

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Unless we see Keane moving out as a way to help get Petty?

Better of using the extra picks needed to fill other needs.

Can wait a year for Petty to be a FA.

It's not like we are winning a flag next year.

 

[woofsson]

Wow, we pick on Lachie a lot but that's going to another level.


Ok, more of a conspiracy theory than rumour ... what if the Club has internally put the cue away and is aiming for a high draft pick?

A long list of injuries to talent, picking cooked veterans, players maybe not the most optimal (Laird/Crouch in the middle) and not picking some of the youth that might improve the team might be a way to hobble the team with plausible deniability?

That would explain lot, but it's way too cunning and diabolical to be true of the AFC

 

[1990crow]

Beating WC by 99 also suggests no.

 

[woofsson]

Depends what he's looking for.
If he wants a team that is seemingly on the up and has young talent - then we aren't a terrible option.
If he wants a long term deal to secure his future, where he can get paid big money and a fair part of that upfront - then we are probably in the front row.

If he wants premierships right now, then it's not us.

If he wants to know who will be coaching him in a season's time - probably not us.

We could encrypt them...

 

[BACCS]

Maybe, still don’t see Keane leaving here, Theo’s mail can be a bit iffy at times and he is known to be fed some shit. It’ll be one of those contracts we prioritize over the next off season I reckon.

Has your intel dried up or is there just nothing to talk about?

PR team trying to hype up bringing in a 31 year old Elliot Yeo...

Clearly they have no one, few available options and the ones that are don't want to come.

Gotta sell it to the fans that they 'tried'.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Well to be fair it was always 99% a pissing contest thread. There are only a few guys on here with legit intel. I can confirm, I am not one of them. So if I come on here saying I have a source, im drunk!

As much as I wouldn’t go near him with a barge pole, Caleb Daniel is more likely to be a crow in 2025 than any of those names.

 

[CryptoCrow]

I'm sure if there is any elite mid who could be brought here we'd be getting them. I don't think the option really exists.

"
The Earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid.

While the Earth appears to be round when viewed from the vantage point of space, it is actually closer to an ellipsoid."

So looks like everyone and Wayne is wrong

So your saying it's not flat

 

[arrowman]

The Earth is an irregularly shaped ellipsoid

Wait - the Earth is actually Kardinia Park?

 

[hippyhippy]

Wait - the Earth is actually Kardinia Park?

No... That place is more bean shaped

I get port and suns intel from time to time but that's about as useful as Ned McHenry
