[George Kramer]

You lost me at "listening to Rowey". The worst football brain in the State, and completely clueless when it comes to any team or players outside of SA.

He is no way near the worst football brain in the state, he’s actually quite knowledgeable. I’d agree that he might not be across other clubs lessor players.

 

[Cromulant]

He is, but that's not his radio persona.

Edit - he did mention how good of a pick up Jack Darling will be......

 

[cmndstab]

Has there been any thought of what we'd need to give up to get Peatling? Is a second rounder enough?

 

[jackster83]

And Rowey wouldnt have the intelligence to drill down any further to see he was a sub 7 times and look at his T.O.G.

I think it's because Rowey doesn't want his mate McHenry delisted.

 

[George Kramer]

He is, but that's not his radio persona.

Yeah he’s a clown but when he’s being serious he knows what he’s talking about, well most of the time. His problem is he won’t call out individuals besides Reid. He’s bagged all aspects of Nicks coaching this year and yet reckons he’s doing a good job, that’s nonsensical

Rowe is not quite the full-on idiot he plays on the radio, but there's no way he has any actual insight into Peatling. I'll bet he's watched him play maybe twice in total.

GWS would know a lot more about Peatling than Rowe does, and they're offering him a four-year deal.

 

[ams4crows]

If Geelong want Oliver than of course it's a future 4th if the Crows want Oliver it's a Future 1st plus by the way he just got his 3rd strike and will miss 15 games Next season.

 

[Crow_68]

Has there been any thought of what we'd need to give up to get Peatling? Is a second rounder enough?

If we are offering 4-5 years on reasonable coin, then yes, a second rounder should do it. Although GWS would push for more which they have every right to do.

 

[Pugsley]

I think it's because Rowey doesn't want his mate McHenry delisted.

He tells him where the good fishing spots are.

 

[FR0GGY]

Screaming and domestic violence ensues

What?

 

[Tony Barber]

You cant get a 3rd strike out of completion mate.
Keep it real.

 

[FR0GGY]

Mitch's wife is from Adelaide.

Wasn’t it to do with her uni?

 

[ams4crows]

You cant get a 3rd strike out of completion mate.
Keep it real.

Don't act like the AFL don't bend over backwards to sweep any shit concerning your club under the rug

 

[crow2crow]

Using Rowey has your evidence of being right is..... not good for you.

You can grasp as straws all you like. He is an expert football commentator you are nobody other than someone with an opinion (just like me). Suggest you listen.

 

[WAG]

Bahaha, the fact that you felt so strongly that you chose that to respond to. Where is my 'precious' emoji?

 

[1990crow]

Remember that salary cap "self reporting". Like ****ing LOL.

 

[crow2crow]

And Rowey wouldnt have the intelligence to drill down any further to see he was a sub 7 times and look at his T.O.G.

No. Like me he actually bothered to watch some of his games to form his view.

He's depth. Thats it. Hes not shifting the dial which was my point and dont think hes clearly best 22

 

[Amacca 23]

You can grasp as straws all you like. He is an expert football commentator you are nobody other than someone with an opinion (just like me). Suggest you listen.

So the coaches have no idea , gws are giving him 4 years and more coin and they dont know either ? Ok got it now

[WAG]

C'mon. He's a self confessed bogan, glorified fanboi of the club. He's like Alex, but decided to stick with the Crows.

'Expert' footy commentator. fmd

Can't wait for you to start quoting Kornes next!

What was it... 8 years in a row there was an "administration error" get real that they didn't know they were fudging the books

 

[1990crow]

Biggest load of shit I've ever read. Geelong are the biggest cheats of the past 20 years.

I'm sure Dank and the Weapon only started their dodgy shit after they went to Essendon.

 

[crow2crow]

Rowe is not quite the full-on idiot he plays on the radio, but there's no way he has any actual insight into Peatling. I'll bet he's watched him play maybe twice in total.

GWS would know a lot more about Peatling than Rowe does, and they're offering him a four-year deal.

all of your view is based on this party thinks hes worth this or that. have you actually watched these supposedly best afield performances? I did and this is how I formed my view. Not fantasy points, not coaches votes, by carefully looking at his positioning, who who had on him, his disposal under pressure and so on... Shit can me all you like. I dont care its my view. I would only give up a third.

 

[ABAB]

You can grasp as straws all you like. He is an expert football commentator you are nobody other than someone with an opinion (just like me). Suggest you listen.

So coaches and list managers of multiple clubs aren't expert?? I think it's more likely he has intel that Peatling hasn't chose us.

 

[119others]

Basically he doesn't rate him

did i hear right? rowey said he lacks pace?

 

[baldandbroke]

So what time is the GWS best and fairest?

Knowing how good their social media team, something tasty will be posted - either way!!
