[Mutineer]

who is this supposed to reference?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Midfielder that got minutes second half of season for a good club

Many other clubs in the mix though

Edit * saw posts above can confirm

Is 2 months ago, far enough out to make the call

 

[Danger in Texas]

who is this supposed to reference?

ANB

But of course that guy’s clueless

 

[relapse]

We didn’t give up on Stengel

We wanted to add behavioural clauses in his new contract which he rejected

Geelong offered a deal with not behavioural clauses so he departed

If there was no rival offer, he would have stayed

Sorry, but none of that is true at all..

Stengle was desperate to stay at the AFC, but the Crows pretty much hung him out to dry and cut ties with him and told him to look elsewhere.

I don't want to say too much more, but trust me this info has come straight from the horse's mouth.

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Reeves from hawthorn is other one that would be interesting

Is 2 months ago, far enough out to make the call

View attachment 2122640

Yep to be fair there’s a few of us that have been talking about Peatling for months and suggesting he’d be the right type

Including you

 

[WaynesWorld19]

who is this supposed to reference?

ANB

 

[Geoffa32]

I know they have ample HB replacements for Houston, but it's surely gotta hurt if neither of Perryman or Cumming get there

Chris Davies already working for his new club?

 

[Redline]

There wouldn't be back pedalling, No club can really commit to anything to far out. You can talk range but everyone understands that nothing is locked in.

I also doubt we were blindsided by the Luko decision.

 

[dplggr47]

I'm sure every 18 year old footballer when asked "Would you like to play for a big Victorian club?" would answer in the positive.

I think I recall Phillipou saying the same thing... then he got drafted by St Kilda.

 

[triggyscrewedus]

Guy on twitter suggest leek aleer.
I don't see a need for him personally.

The bloke has attributes few others on our team has, he will be an absolute weapon with games under his belt and those game are better played with us before his asking price sky rockets.

 

[Cromulant]

His numbers don't look great.
But I'd take him as better than our 18-22 best players.

Finished the season well.

I think I said yesterday, he's the type of player we need to be having a crack at

 

[Danger in Texas]

Reeves from hawthorn is other one that would be interesting

I probably wouldn't, from what I've seen he has literally no around the ground presence

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

who is this supposed to reference?

he is claiming we are trying to back out pick 25 for ANB, and offer our F2 instead

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Maybe Port will throw a lifeline to Hamill

If they lose Houston & miss out Perryman they could do worse.

Meanwhile we hang on to a cooked Smith.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I really don’t know much about Peatling. What player comparison would you say he is?

 

[rabidcrow]

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.

Just Josh Money trolling our supporter base. How he could be so wrong on Cumming and Draper within 24 hrs of each other? Just after Port secured Luko
Just taking the wizz

Finished the season well.

I think I said yesterday, he's the type of player we need to be having a crack at

His positioning is elite and he goes hard,
Made some excellent decisions under pressure at crucial time.

 

[Danger in Texas]

For reference:

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Exactly.

We kicked Stengle out, he goes to become AA and win a flag with Geelong. It’s not like he’s cleaned up his act, but he did help his team win a premiership.

I think back to Hawks and Hodge I think. Caught drink driving before an EF, isn’t suspended because finals are more important.

We may have the moral high ground but I know which club id rather support.

Finals aren’t won by choir boys. They’re won by players that play on the line (on and off the field).

I’m a critic of the some of the actions of the AFC but the dealings with Tyson I am not. He had many more chances than were public as I’ve stated many times before - he wasn’t taking his career seriously and was a repeat offender.

He should thank the AFC for where he is now because without their actions he would be playing div 2 or home on the EP.

 

[I Lost My Keays]

For reference:

Sold. But yeah he’s got acceleration, quickness, strength and IQ

 

[hugecannon]

who is this supposed to reference?

I’m guessing ANB?

 

[Mutineer]

Reeves from hawthorn is other one that would be interesting

Max Ramsden way more athletic and cheaper?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Max Ramsden way more athletic and cheaper?

We need something ! What happens if ROB gets injured

proper russian roulette until we draft and develop our next good one

 

[dplggr47]

Counts as a rumour yeah?

Bring back the old 90s logo. Why do they have to modernise everything.

 

[crow2crow]

We targeted Cumming as a FA -

We targeted ANB as a trade

We targeted Luko as a trade - miss

When we missed Luko the club said they will now turn there attention elsewhere.

List Mgt had planned to have enough list spots to bring these three players in by trade or FA.

This leads me to think we are still targeting another trade.

Thoughts ?

im not convinced luko gets to port. not saying we getting him just not convinced it happens. which would be funny
