[Ciao Giacomo]

Comes out right as everyone’s knickers are in a knot over Lukosios and Cumming.

They’re fishing and some are biting. F*****g dumb.

You need to appreciate that it is really tough for us Crows supporters. We have to watch Poort Pear smack the ball out of the stadium every fxxxin year during the trade and draft season.

Last year we did virtually nothing (apologies to Chris) and the Pear loaded up during the trade period with;
Ratugloea, Soldo, Sweet* and Zerk-Thatcher.

Then they swooped on a rare crop in the draft;
Anastasopoulos, Charleston, Lorenz, Walsh and Evans.

Of course they did have to trade that (former) superstar Xavier Duursma to get that amazing haul.

In comparison we had the usual slim picking;
Curtin, Edwards, Ryan, Murray and Burgess.

*I actually rate Sweet, always have, so one out of four ain’t bad.

 

[Crows I Am]

I have a few connections into south, all 3 feel the Draper news is BS

If it isn't true, you would think we would hear something in the media soon from his manager discrediting the report.

If we don't hear anything then you can only assume it's true.

 

[Danger in Texas]

I'm sorry but the timing of this story is interesting.

We have a player choosing between us and port and then this story comes out.

It feels like media manipulation.

This is dirty politics.

And trade pick 15 for them so now have to try to get back in the draft by trading away Houston for pick 12 because they did a "Lever" on him by initially under paying him to allow them to offer Lukosius on a 7 year contract after offering 7 years at $850K for Perryman.

This is the domino that I fear makes Port more likely for Isaac Cumming.

 

[CrowToon]

Care to point out what you disagree with in my post?

At the intervention did they take bets on you giving up punting?

And they finished top 4 whilst we finished 15th, so yeah it’s tough being a Crows supporter compared to Port.

Well someone said something. 7 News wouldnt run with a bigfooty rumour. So its got to have a source. Maybe even a manager.

Hope so

Never believe a story when they say “those close to Draper” - ****ing who?

Can understand them not saying who, but it’s always going to be someone close isn’t it?
Can’t imagine he’s telling random strangers.

Ben Williams is his manager, he's not that unprofessional with so many of the SA boys on his books including Thilthorpe, Michalanney and Dowling and ANB on the way..

Well its an interesting one. 7 is media so who knows, maybe they deliberately took the conversation out of context.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

Sounds believable until they got to the part about wanting to get yo a big vic club.

He’s unlikely to be pick 1, and the next pick by big vic club is 8.

Weird thing for him to be worried about when there’s a tiny chance it happens

Yes and know. There are footy media who deal in rumours but ive stated before when you get to prime time news network the facts tend to be more supported. Its highly unlikely they ran with a story on the back of rumour without checking with someone inside the family. Even if its weve heard this, do you deny it?

I would say its more likely this is real than the rumour on bigfooty claiming the family say its fake.
