Free Agency ends pretty quickly, not sure they can wait that long

5 days overlap from memory.

 

[Shifty Crow]

Agreed, I think it’s a good idea. It’s time to do something different. Plenty of upside with Luko and he’s ready to prove himself. Future ruckman in. And if you add Cummings then it’s not as important to have that future first coming in next season either. Track record with firsts is always worth noting

Changing clubs might be the stimulus or kick uk the ass Luko needs

Let’s be honest Izak wasn’t consistent at GC either, but we can see what’s ahead of him now

[1970crow]

Dude just called 5AA says Luko will be a crow for f1 with f2 coming back. The caller could be full of shit too

We are that stupid and desperate. And the good news for our LM crew is that like Gore, you get to kick the result of the trade down the road a while.

 

[Cromulant]

If we did offer a F1, they all need to be fired

 

[1970crow]

Gold Coasts biggest issue - well there are 2 in my mind - the dollars and the pushing out

We hold the cards

Except they can probably smell the desperation on Roo, Nix and Kelly all the way from Broadbeach.

 

[119others]

Honestly compiling lists and sending to the mods is pretty well up there with wasting one’s life.
Ignore and sail on with life!

so you dont care that a (previously) major SA sporting media identity pretends to come on our board as BigHawk and subsequent profiles pretending to be a Crows fan but effectively trolling us the whole time.

Fair enough if so but I do care and will call it out

 

[Crow till I die]

If we did offer a F1, they all need to be fired

If we did, then we need to mitigate against it as best we can with what we can try and get back and what we can do to upgrade what we then have to get in another quality player in this draft. IF they use our F1, then all we can do is look forward to make the best out of a bad taste

 

[Cromulant]

TBH both SA clubs would be desperate.

That's the Suns trump card

 

[Cromulant]

Even if we got a F2 back from them it's not enough.

As bad as they've been... one day it'll click and they'll make the 8.

 

[1970crow]

I was thinking this today as well

F1 for Luko and could we be trying to get their 2024 pick 20, or worse case pick 26

This will open the door to draft the young SA ruckman who is predicted to be drafted mid to late 20s


On iPhone using BigFooty.com mobile app

We shouldn’t be valuing our future first as anything worse than 8. No way I’d be giving that up for Luko and speculative crap. If they won’t take this or next years seconds, then they can get whatever Port can pay.

 

[Crow till I die]

Even if we got a F2 back from them it's not enough.

As bad as they've been... one day it'll click and they'll make the 8.

Hence why we should be working the oracle to try and bundle up our pick 25 and their F2 to try and move either up the draft this year or for a sides F1.

No, if everyone comes on here clapping it’s boring as bat shit.
We’ve seen that by the positive only threads die out very quickly.
We need all types, if the mods see fit to ban someone well that’s up to them.

You're calling me out as a former SA sporting media identity ??

Wow you are unhinged.

 

[FR0GGY]

No rucci years ago.

 

[Cromulant]

No rucci years ago.

Right I understand.

The tracksuit bandit did that ??

 

[FR0GGY]

Right I understand.

The tracksuit bandit did that ??

Yeah, he hasn’t been sighted for a number of years by my recollection.

exploring his options, would we?

 

[1970crow]

WADA wasn't established until the end of 1999.

Relevance?

 

[Trigger13]

So we’ve given GC an offer they can’t refuse hey? If it’s true, heads should roll

 

[Mostyn]

Yep, pick 20 is much better for us as that may well be in dodson territory. Then if they want our pick 25 for ANB, play a bit of hardball and try 25 and 42 for ANB and F2. Just need to make sure we end up with some later picks for welsh...but hey, if an earlier bid came in, we wouldn't hold an f1 in the above scenario so it would just chew our f2 back a bit if we had to dip into next year to match

It would only impact the round Welsh is taken in.

 

[Mostyn]

This is that I don't understand. Why wouldn't we have just offered 25 for Luko instead of NB?

I don't think we HAVE offered it for ANB.

We should - though GCS may not want more picks this year?

 

[Mostyn]

If we did offer a F1, they all need to be fired

Settle down, Rooch.

 

[Redline]

Port is too small a program for him.

I think the historic value of Tasmania MIGHT be of interest, but I also think he maybe never coaches again.

Hell - why would you?

Tassie appeals as there is zero expectations for win / loss.

 

[mcleod at 50 lines it up]

Why rare?

Fleeced them for pick upgrade last year. Fleeced them for Dawson. Most of his traded have been very good.

Wasn't there an article that said Reid is notorious for being a painfully difficult negotiato

isnt the idea that a good list manager doesn't worry about playing hardball with individual trades and more looks for undiscovered value and the big picture in terms of building/balancing the list?

when we have a list that has been near the bottom for many years and has a gaping hole in the midfield that will take years to fix, rare wins seems pretty accurate?

you've even said yourself that bottoming out looks like a loser move and he did that too (unintentionally)
