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

I’m sure it’s more texts that phone calls but yeah I can imagine they speak way more often than tex and Cummings

 

[ABAB]

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

Provided Nicks play Laird for half a season at HB then finally realise he is Smith 2.0 this year so give him the same treatment, we finish with pick 4 and Nicks get sacked and the new coach condemn Murphy to the SANFL forever.

Draft capital only has value if it is used properly

This is where our history haunts us

Yep on Laird ....has regressed very quickly since 2nd half of 2023 .....his mid days are over, however I can't see the Laird of old being a success in DEF either

It's a dilemma which will define Nicks future tenure next year

 

[feenix67]

What's that got to do with his ability to attract an important recruit, like Rozee did?

If you think that was the reason, you're deluded

 

[ftmch]

Not sure about that

That's the joke, Joyce

 

[ftmch]

We would all like to think that, but a full strength Milera won't happen again

That's the joke, Joyce

 

[ftmch]

Are you taking the piss?

We here this every year, and he either breaks down, or when he does play he hits nowhere near his potential

You're actually on the money...

Joyce (name) - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Joyce is an Irish and French given name and surname. It is derived from the Old French masculine name Josse, which derived from the Latin name Iudocus, the Latinized form of the Breton name Judoc meaning "lord". The name became rare after the 14th century, but was later revived as a female given name, which derived from the Middle English joise meaning "rejoice".

 

[Crows I Am]

So am I right in that we are most likely to end up with just ANB, while Port will be getting, Luko and Cumming? If so, that is a total disaster for us. Need at least Cumming.

When did Cumming announce he was going to Port? Did I miss the announcement?

Always fun to see which journos have contacts at which clubs.

5aa rumour file.

Ah OK. Hopefully just a rumour and we are still in the box seat.

Will be a big fail if we can't land him.

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Bloke from Channel 9 spoke to him face to face at the airport, reckon you can get a feel for what is to come when you speak to someone .

Rowe is going off a rumour

 

[1970crow]

As I said though, what if he's got a brain and sees that our next progression is more likely to be a coach sacking than an assault on the top four?

So... who wants in?

If he loves publicly sticking the boots into junior players then we’re the only club for him. Hopefully we pushed that angle.

Whose to say that isn’t Ports next phase as well

Port can afford Lukosius, Perryman and Cummings?

 

[GameofSloanes]

Port can afford Lukosius, Perryman and Cummings?

And we can't. It's hilarious isn't it

 

[ABAB]

Port can afford Lukosius, Perryman and Cummings?

More than likely Perryman has rejected their offer so they used some of that to increase their offer for Lukosius, they can still get Cumming given both club have offered 4 years.
