"Crows look ahead to XXXX"

That ain't hard to predict, we bomb out bringing guys in and fall back to "we wanted to concentrate on the draft" as an excuse.

A big no to Leek.

You’d like to be Leekless?

 

[Multiballz]

So, Rozee managed to help get a big recruit across the line for Port.

Will Tex be able to do the same?

Tex may well have been able to do the same if he retired this year.

 

[Mostyn]

How many weeks of his career has he been at full strength up until now?

Doederino is trolling.

 

[Multiballz]

Doh.

 

[WetCrow1991]

Tex isn't attracting anyone to the club.

Not really comparing the same is it though?
An acquaintance to someone that speaks to their mate everyday.
As well as port having a define role for him.

 

[Amacca 23]

Know him personally do you ?

I mean, wouldn’t someone who has a close relationship with the player we’re trying to land be useful in the pitch?

Same with Rozee/Luko

I will personally pay nicks out his contract if Tex and Cumming speak daily.

 

[Cromulant]

I will personally pay nicks out his contract if Tex and Cumming speak daily.

Not to mention be one of his groomsmen at his wedding

 

[FR0GGY]

I will definitely not attend Nicks’s wedding.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Cumming listed on a power injury prevention camp list according to 5aa. Weeee the off-season is looking great

 

[Danger in Texas]

I mean, do you really believe Rozee/Luko do?

Bottom line is, both are significant relationships that should help (and in Port’s case, has helped) land the target

 

[jenny61_99]

not getting Lukosius is not a bad thing. Although his elite kicking to our forward line would old be a bonus. I just don’t know how port are going to afford him?

 

[CrowToon]

They will lose a couple

Nice of them to pay to rehabilitate one of our players

 

[Danger in Texas]

Side note (not a rumour) - where tf did Hannebery come from as a media personality

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Plus signing spuds to long term contracts and paying high prices. We might miss out on stuff but at least we're not destroying our list management. I'd rather miss out than do stupid list management stuff. Its just a pity we live in a state with a spend now worry later club. Whoever takes over from Ken is getting an absolute shit sandwhich.

Outside of Ports midfield .....name me their spine, that's likely to get anyone excited

No FF, No CHF .....Houston on the move, and Ratagulea at FB along with "speedy" Zerk Thatcher .....it's pitiful

Still, that’s just one podcast interview

Trade Radio is so weird

He's been on SEN a lot lately...

“He’s the missing link”: The player Carlton must go hard at this off-season

“All of a sudden you look like a completely different side.”

Ahh that explains it

Working his way into Hutchy’s circle

It's been quite a day ....there's been celebrations going on since Lukosius made his choice ....another step towards a Crows Flag ....Draft Capital preserved
