Butters wouldn't go to the Crows, I'd bet my left sock on it

This place is nuts.

 

[cleanhands]

This place is nuts.

Omg now your avatar is Jenny, I think I need to talk to my supplier he’s mixing up my shit

 

[spenze]

Hate to do a Krustoff but

Rachele to Carlton
Carlton 1st to GC
Luko + pick 20 to the Crows

 

[adelaidecrows]

I can actually see Rachele requesting a trade. So it wouldnt surprise me in the least if he went. But there is no chance the Crows pay pick 11 to GC. I think its always going to be a future 1st and some steak knife picks for Luko. Crows would take pick 11 to the draft.

Obviously he would after so many entitled senior players bashed him over a game we were meant to lose

 

[adelaidecrows]

Well it comes down to how settled he is in Adelaide.

He looked everything but a player who has bought into Nicks and his plans. What he did look like was a player full of regret at signing his contract.

Sometimes players just dont fit a club and vice versa. This has that smell about it.

 

[adelaidecrows]

BRL121 So do tell, are you saying he looked like a happy player. He never questioned the coaching staff decisions, which he did in the media several times. So rather than disagree, put your big boy pants on and tell the world why Rachele is so damn happy I am wrong.

 

[jbanger]

Just to add to my post further,

I couldnt give a crap if a Port mega poster with a fake Crow account came on here and said Butters is going to be a Crow next year. Why? because who gives a crap. Jesus!

Straight swap with JUH apparently according to Pooort board

I’m so confused!

Rubbish

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

Do people actually believe the rubbish they post?

 

[1970crow]

So when did Docs magic wear out?

When we stopped using colostrum.

 

[1970crow]

Future 1st with GC's Pick 20 this year coming back....

It's a text book salary dump, we shouldn't be taking any less

4 for Luko and 20 is still bad trading. Luko may be worth a late first rounder, but splitting an early one to get him would be terrible list management.

 

[1970crow]

And yet they might be getting EH...

I've never thought EH to be soft.

 

[FR0GGY]

I've never thought EH to be soft.

Certainly his hands aren’t

 

[Peter Doherty]

Straight swap with JUH apparently according to Pooort board

If there was a futures market on JHF leaving the power at some point, I wouldn't mind $1 on that.

 

[FR0GGY]

Really? He’s as port Adelaide as they come.

 

[1970crow]

Sorry, but B&F results can be dodgy as.

I’d do the future first to them and a second rounder back for this year.

He’s worth that.

I'd pay 15 for him. But only if we had the pick or could trade up to it. No way would I split a pick like 4-5 to trade down to it.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

If there was a futures market on JHF leaving the power at some point, I wouldn't mind $1 on that.

Butters looking much more likely to go

 

[WheresGroomgone]

Then stop making stupid comments that have no information behind them and are just dillusions of negativity for the sake of not being disappointed or something.... if he goes to port who cares....

Quite ironic mate given your claims of hearing stuff in hotels, being directly quoted by John Ralph, attending most games and training sessions but you’re “trapped in Melbourne “ being at a game where Amatey kicked 8 but you forgot it, attending the 93 final….

 

[1970crow]

Our F1 is not worth pick 5.

First, it’s next year. A player picked this year can develop next year and even play next year. Unless it is immediately traded, a future pick is literally worth nothing for a year. Would you rather have $1000 now or $1000 in a year?

Second, the pick is unknown. The range is pick 1 to pick 22 or so (after academy and father sons). There’s a signuficant risk to the buyer they’ll get worse than pick 5.

So, it’s silly to say F1 = pick 5. It might end up being pick 5, but it’s worth much less.

It's not worth pick 5 on the market, which is why you don't sell it.

He's contracted for years and recently said that he will be playing for us next year, that's all. I agree that he has looked unhappy on-ground on occasion, but so what? He's just an immature lad.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Really? He’s as port Adelaide as they come.

When he's eligible for free agency and he's one of the best players in the comp, the Power won't want to be out of the top 8.

I don't anticipate a trade any time soon.

 

[whattagun07]

I've never thought EH to be soft.

I think he is a bit soft.
Doesn't crack in and insert himself physically (not at AFL level anyway).

 

[1970crow]

That means we were closer to finals than last place . We were actually closer to 3rd than Last

We were also closer to 16th than we were 10th ;-)
