Load up with sweet the other 3 a spuds and soldo is getting the f out after one year bit of an over exaggeration

On SM-G996B using BigFooty.com mobile app

I hardly ever listen to 5aa, an excellent station for Poort Pear fans and anyone over 80 (how about that 1963 SANFL team, those were the days).

Anyhow I was trapped in some slow moving traffic and thought I’d catch the fallout from the Pear’s deja vu prelim final effort but no siree, it was all about how the Pear was aceing the trade period again. You honestly couldn’t make up this shit

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

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.

Did you completely forget Tom Browne at Channel 7? There’s even a parody account that has more followers than he did due to how often he made stuff up

 

[kick it to me_]

Was Theo Doropolous a Crows man? Feels like he would always handle the Crows stories when he was here. Positive and Negative. Bring Theo back

I was at the front of the line for a gather round guernsey, and theo was like second or third in line, so I reckon he was pretty passionate crows fan.

There are still people that bring up the Wingard trade as a brilliant piece of aggressive trading, when it netted them whipping boy Ryan Burton and other fellow whipping boy Duursma (now turned into new whipping boy BZT). All bog average AFL players, Wingard achieved more in his first 3 seasons than those 3 will in their entire careers.

Footy media in Melbourne is far more competitive than in Adelaide. We dont have a lot. Melbourne media are far more renowned for making stuff up. Well Rucci too.

Maybe we leaked the rumour because we are trading pick 4

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!

I'm pretty sure Theo Drop is a Carlton fan. When he was based in SA, he was always Crows leaning and did work for us.

I dont know much about pick trade values but could/would you do something like pick 4 with Richmond for a later first 2024 and their future first? Take Dodson, use our f1 on Oliver and potentially hold pick 1 next year?

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.

- 3 year deal

It’s still one year less than port’s offer and is considering staying with the pies

They scroll twitter and Bigfoot’s, look for a juicy rumour, report with the “close or unnamed source” tag to try and give it credibility

[Kickin Goals]

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

Not that the media has ever had much credibility but these days it’s a full blown joke, they run with anything to get the clicks up, imagine how many people on here alone have already watched the clip, not to mention X, reddit etc.

You mean Joe Richards.

 

[GreyCrow]

Power got knocked out days ago, everyone has forgotten about that now.

I havent

 

[Afcprophet]

Looking to be a terrible off season. I bet dodson is there at our pick. Trading pick 25 for ANB is so short sighted.

Absolutely incompetent.

 

[GreyCrow]

Something off about this

Draper knows he could go anywhere and if he is at 4 its most likely he is with us

Or as Ham suggested we have leaked the story so the fans will accept Smillie

I agree with Runnin Blue that the media screen scrape all SM and a rumour is given as gospel

If we have leaked the story and it's not true, his manager will just come out and say it's BS.

 

[BucketsNj]

50% of your posts are whinging about people complaining.

You're so close.

 

[1970crow]

Trade Radio reckons Port have offered Luko 7 years!

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

 

[1970crow]

Ummm, whilst your idea above makes sense the reality is quite the opposite.

We've had 5+ years of rebuild/high draft picks and our best two players by a country mile have been the ones we've traded in.

These two players were fortunate enough to develop outside the AFC/Nicks 'system'.

Watch them flatline at a level below their peak too. We have players hit high levels and then cruise at a level below it until a contract year arrives.

No way the club will leak the story - clubs are not into bad PR

Yeah George Kramer picked me up on that too, but I thought I’d give you the benefit of the doubt.

 

[1970crow]

Gettable's doing a live show from the MCG live site at 2pm

Someone pls get down there and quiz them on why the hell we'd do this

And talk is we’re also extending him for an extra 2 years. It’s like having a fish jump into your boat and then you feed it the ham sandwich you brought for lunch.

 

[GreyCrow]

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
