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

[GreyCrow]

Yeah the player culture at the Saints while he was coach was above reproach...NOT.

I love when you use the argument. It shows how stupid you are.

Shoot the messenger.

You may be right for the time but
People grow
He is spot on about Goodwin

 

[FR0GGY]

Oh dear, another Adelaide board fallacy busted, will that be the end of it do you think?

Why is it people chose to listen to him now?
All we’ve been going off it’s what Dawson has said publicly himself?

 

[FR0GGY]

I think it had already been debunked when someone shared the press conference following the Port win.

You asked for evidence repeatedly and I eventually found the interview we had been referencing and your still ignoring it.

 

[El Doederino]

The point being did Grant ever publically shame one of his players for not meeting standards which he let others and himself ignore?

 

[KinderSmock]

Any truth to the rumour that Nathan Kreuger might be coming across to the Crows? You're very welcome to have him if this is true.

There's been rumours he was one we were looking at, but that may be done with since Chris Burgess has requested a trade.

I doubt it, we've had plenty of opportunities to pick him up for nought in the past so I can't see it happening now it looks like at least one of our tall swingman type players Burgess is coming.

. Disappointing. Was hoping we could move him on. Has talent but spends too much time each season on the sidelines.

We enquired but have gone with Burgess instead as that back up kpp option

I guess it is slightly less embarassing when your pre-season coaching plans fail by round 3 to have that be a coaching choice rather than player choice

This board under Neil Craig ‘doesn’t have a plan B!’

This board when a coach makes a major structural move in season… it’s definitely an art to how you can construe any debate into a pessimistic view point

Nearly everyone on this forum was saying Dawson should be playing in the midfield well before the coaches did it. It's not that impressive of a change, especially when we are (according to some in the B&F thread) just clueless BigFooty posters

Nah, there were a few saying midfield but most were saying wing IIRC

That's true, but the coaches played him in defense initially which was widely panned

Honestly, nothing would impress you until we win a flag. That’s fine, but it gets very tiring reading such a pessimistic POV in literally every thread on this board. There’s evidence now that goes against what some have thought on this board all season and yet it’s still turned into a bash Nicks crusade. Boring.

Someone I know with connections to South Adelaide said the Crows have had some questions sent Arlo Draper’s way.

I’ve kind of forgotten his story other than that he was a potential top 20 pick in a bunch of phantom drafts and then slid to the 3rd round. Not sure what hed offer and not sure we have the list space for him anyway?

6ft1 midfielder. Could do worse.

Maybe Victoria wasn’t for him and he can have a form turnaround?

Yea. His pre-draft assessments make for some interesting reading.

Arlo Draper Draft Profile

central.rookieme.com

“Draper is one of the leading South Australian draft prospects, whose class through the midfield, down back and in attack should see him come into consideration in the mid-to-late stages of the first round. Considered a high upside pick, Draper would be an attractive prospect for clubs looking to add some polish and versatility to their list. Draper would ideally require a season of state league development, but expect him to push for a senior debut after adding some strength and enhancing his running game. “

I know Arlo Draper was "Hot" in the PS ..... Jen2310 put up training video's of Draper on the COLL Forum, doing some outstanding stimulated match-play ......big things were expected of Draper leading into the year ....and then nothing eventuated

Sounds a bit Hatley

Think someone else said we were looking at him earlier this year

Wouldn’t be against it

 

[Steve_McDongus]

I think he had a pretty bad concussion early in the year with some prolonged symptoms…might explain his season

 

[Runnin Blue]

My mail was he interviewed poorly in the eyes of some recruiters, as in a bit different character wise?

I like different.

 

[Large 1]

And you ignored the subsequent Dawson interviewed as you “didn’t listen to it”.

As for the presser after the Port win, Dawson said he went to the coaches…..

This has been debunked. Watch the press conference to the end.

How did he go in the VFL? We can never have enough Panthers…

[1970crow]

What your saw on the board here was nothing compared to hatred and bile she spewed on The Bay

such untillegent attempts at trolling. Total embarrassment.
