Thinking on this overnight I think this is true

Its too specific to be from the club side

It may have been an interview with a club , it may have been someone close to the family

Its why I said something smells off

I have no doubt the parents wouldn't have liked the way we handled Rachele, and would've had concerns. That said, I'm not sure Sid would've done what Josh did either.

Just took a while for Money to sniff it out

Our whole media team need to go along with everyone else, we are so bad at defending ourselves and portraying ourselves positively, we constantly allow outside media to take cheap shots at us and just take it, we conduct train wreck interviews that portray us as completely amateur and we have ‘senior’ players taking cheap shots publicly at our own - players who then dish up some of the most selfish and lazy football themselves.

Who runs this area???

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Guess it’ll get debunked pretty soon then.

Likely to be convincing as the ex opposition leader claiming he didn't snort lines...

 

[1970crow]

It may be right, it may be wrong. I don’t disagree.

But, dude…”prime time news networks” literally lie on a daily basis. Like, not a little bit, not sometimes, they lie every single f*****g day. It’s to the point that anyone getting their “news” from them is completely wasting their time.

I’m sure whatever targeted propaganda that is funnelled to you is never anything but 100% truth. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, everyone can absolutely trust everything that feeds to them on the interweb.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I’m sure whatever targeted propaganda that is funnelled to you is never anything but 100% truth. If there’s one thing we’ve learned, everyone can absolutely trust everything that feeds to them on the interweb.

Firstly, the corporate media are the propaganda merchants. I don’t get my news from them.

Secondly, I never said anything about trusting everything on the internet. You made that up entirely in an effort to make some sort of point. You failed.

 

[jenny61_99]

Takes him to 31, our reported offer to ANB takes him to 33. That’s worse.

I bet the salary is VASTLY different!

 

[George Kramer]

We can’t trade Pick 4, no one wants to come to the Crows.


Wait a minute, perhaps we are upping our offer for ANB. Pick 4 and the player of your choice Melbourne, how about them apples!

Are you happy with pick 25 for ANB?

 

[Betts are off]

Dear AFC employee that monitors this thread. The mood is getting pretty dark up in here again.

Time to release a remotely positive rumour please. 10am would be nice

 

[1990crow]

Dear AFC employee that monitors this thread. The mood is getting pretty dark up in here again.

Murphy elevated to vice captain?
Mark Ricciuto selected as Coaching Director reporting to the Director of the football program?

 

[32year crow]

Comment out of context would make some sense if Richmond and then West Coast interviewed Draper. “Rather play for a big Vic club”. The other stuff is probably artistic licence.

We'll roll out Laird to criticise Danielle Ponter for her goal celebrations.

 

[Cromulant]

We'll roll out Laird to criticise Danielle Ponter for her goal celebrations.

TBH I thought Rachele's goal celebration was idiotic.

Doesn't excuse running him over with a bus, and then backing over him again though.

 

[Betts are off]

Lol, or the Re-signing McHenry to a 4 year deal.
Aggressively chasing Caleb Daniel.
& Sloane coming out of retirement.

Also to the AFC employee in here, these are examples of bad rumours. What we would like are good rumours!

Again, 10am... Please and thankyou

 

[MRB37]

Comment out of context would make some sense if Richmond and then West Coast interviewed Draper. “Rather play for a big Vic club”. The other stuff is probably artistic licence.

I'm sure every 18 year old footballer when asked "Would you like to play for a big Victorian club?" would answer in the positive.

 

[Jars458]

We'll roll out Laird to criticise Danielle Ponter for her goal celebrations.

How refreshing is our women's team. Pretty much only reason left to support AFC.

 

[Betts are off]

Speculation question based on something Cal said on Gettable. If Freo are super keen on loading up on F1's for a bid on Chad Warner

(and probably lessen the potential asking price of Shai Bolten this trade period) could we get in early on that action?

F1 for say pick 10 as the bulk of the trade? With some steak knives back and forth to open up both teams plan this year.

I wish I could have Ian Shuttleworth's job security.

I have a feeling Norths F1 will likely end up at Freo for one of 9/10. That then used in the Houston deal which then unlocks the Luko deal.

But I wouldn't be against it particularly if we do give up 25 for ANB

 

[skam85]

His school teacher

That worked out pretty well for Jake Lever

 

[Ciao Giacomo]

Are you happy with pick 25 for ANB?

My apologies. I wasn’t aware that the trade had been completed.

I am happy to wait until the trade and draft period are completed (or at least started) before making a judgement on the overall changes to our list.

If you were a Poort Pear fan, would you have been happy to give up Duursma and the 2024 first rounder to pick up
Soldo, Ratugolea, Zerk-Thatcher and Sweet plus a bunch of small forward in the 4th round of the draft. Last year this was seen as a master stroke, especially picking up a premiership player like Soldo .

Effectively they have picked up Sweet for Duursma, this year’s first rounder and picked up 5 lowly rated players in the draft.

murphy elevated to captain you mean actually captain coach

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Takes him to 31, our reported offer to ANB takes him to 33. That’s worse.

We offered ANB 5 years?

 

[Cap]

My view is it's true. Power nuffy journo looking to use whatever he has on Adelaide.

Why would anyone just make something up like this? It's completely believable.

Likely had this information for weeks, comes out after Power are knocked out..

Didnt the media do the same thing to Harley Reid 12 months ago about going to WCE?

 

[crow2crow]

We offered ANB 5 years?

wachoo talkin bout willis?

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

wachoo talkin bout willis?

ANB is 28, 1970 said he’d be 33 at his contract with us?
