Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation Part 3

[Jarman3]

almost impossible to imagine they offer him a PROMOTION if they havent rated highly his performance in his current lower level role

Sounds like maybe we should promote him into Kelly's role and find ourselves a new list manager?

 

[FR0GGY]

Wtf did he do...

Dressed up as Jarrod hayne and brought up a blow up doll.
There was also a Josh Giddey and Twin towers dress up.

 

[mcleod at 50 lines it up]

With Reid offered Pies Footy Boss, a HUGE promotion for the nations biggest club, where are the bedwetters about Reidy now (inc Rowey The Clown).

5 first 18 players, with at least 2 elite, traded in over 4 years. Not too many clubs have done that.

Lol he just spent unused cap space on role players. That should just be a standard off season.

 

[Jarman3]

Wtf did he do...

Something about a skit about dressing up as Raygun going to a Diddy party, or was it dressing up as Diddy going to a Raygun party, who knows. It seems a bloody excessive penalty for something that happened in a private room at a private event.

Must have been more to it if handed a 6 week suspension.

Bad taste doesn't warrant a suspension, so there must have been some other action.

 

[hugecannon]

Gee whiz Richmond have been absolutely blessed.... Winning the spoon yet getting paid absolute maximum value for good, but flaky players.

We could have only dreamed of that scenario. Imagine if we got 2 first round picks for a Laird etc in 2020 when we finished last.

And also a very deep even draft with lots of different positional players they can bring in, compared to 20/21 which were heavily limited with COVID restrictions.

 

[119others]

Why not get him as the list manager and find a footy boss they rate?

they would seem to rate his potential to be even greater than his current role. as what happens in business organisations all the time so moving him UP not sideways

 

[Golumless]

THe only query from me was the Dees pick swap. 45 ish this year is worth much more than a similar pick next year. Perhaps we had a grand plan to use F3 for Peatling and unfortunately it didn’t work out. As someone else said we maybe wanted to offer kangas F2 to move from 4->2 this year but anyway great last few weeks for the club with only this relatively small query from my perspective

I don't think there is much to query there, outside of it falling in the broader trend of we clearly don't care for this draft after pick 4.

I kind of agree with the club as well. It's put up or shut up time for this iteration.

Perhaps. All I know is what I read in the news yesterday, and there was nothing in that report that warranted a suspension, let alone 6 weeks worth.

Yep, surely must be something else than just dressing up in bad taste.

personally feel the 911 stuff was pretty off. due to the scale of death and destruction. anyone knowing someone affected by those 3,000 ish deaths and the tens of thousands more still mentally scarred (my partner was a few hundred metres away and saw the plane hitting) would never contemplate taking the piss out of this event. and thinking about it further, probably similar for many other skits inc making a joke of sexual assault (allegedly - I certainly dont know all the details)

 

[relapse]

Spending a first round pick on Ratugolea and Soldo, which are both depth players, forcing you to trade Houston to get back into the same draft at roughly the same position, is very funny

Someone on the Port board mentioned how the final wash up was that Port essentially traded Houston for a five pick upgrade from 18 to 13, Pick 29, Ratugolea and Soldo

Was certainly a weird route to go down.

 

[1970crow]

I doubt it. My guess it'll be something like "we won't accept a F/S if you get a 2nd round bid, however will from the 3rd round".

It did sound like we're probably taking Welsh unless someone really loves him.

I think in the past we've been fairly upfront where the potential f/s sits on our talent order. The good news is we have the extra 3rd rounders next year to eat into in case a bid does come a touch early.

 

[1970crow]

But it's more how hard you push yourself running those laps...

No stopwatches or GPS units at our club?

 

[1970crow]

Not at all. The club brought him in under the SANFL rookie system.

But they did so because they were concerned about certain aspects of his attitude.

I find his roar after kicking a goal a bit over-produced.

getting stung for $20k for "not doing anything to stop it" is just taking the piss. Seriously, the whole thing is ridiculous. Private event, no public misbehaviour.

 

[119others]

Its a very solid trade period, but outside pick 4, we have nothing in a supposed super draft when we are desperate for elite mids and still haven't addressed anything long term RE our rucks.

We are OVER stocked for half backs (Smith , Cumming, Hinge, Michelanney, Milera, Jones etc) and mid/forward hybrids (Rankine, Rachelle, Peatling, ANB, Keays, Murphy, Pedlar etc) now.

Pick 4 now becomes absolutely massive to this offseason and what we do with it/select.

theres glass half full and half empty

Firstly we traded our second rounder in 2024 last year to get Curtin - assume happy with that?

We brought in 3 x first 18 players that is beyond any reasonably supporters expectations. All are potential top 10 players for the club - they arent Ratkins or Richards type fringe players. There is a price to pay brining in 3 experienced good (to potentially much better than good) players - in terms of draft picks. Surely this is clear and self evident? How anyone cant be happy with the natural compromise of 3 excellent ins reducing our trade hand this year is beyond me. Esp considering our list profile including MANY potential young elite (under 23s) does NOT NEED more young talent. It now needs mature and experienced mid 20's type players. Exactly what we have executed.

We have retained our pick 4 for an elite mid and probably Welsh for a late junk pick

Its probably the most exceptional year of trading/drafting we have had in the last 4 years and that includes some other excellent years.

Our strategy this year has been spot on and well executed by Reidy. Bring in Draper (Smith/FOS) and Welsh and we will look back at this year as a huge success for many years to come

Are you talking about your club? or Reidy?

 

[Mostyn]

Yes, I heard that. My initial reaction was he is talking him down (it is in the Crows interests to do so). Also said they will be talking with the family soon. I expect they will lay on the line their expectations regarding discipline, commitment and culture, as well as a vision of where they expect the club to be, and asking Tyler if he is willing to take t his on board and to be a part of this.

Reid had learned to be a bit of a shit stirrer and hide whatever he actually thinks is happening.

Gibbs Year One taught him a lot, poor bloke.

 

[Scorpus]

Wtf did he do...

If he's dressed up as Jarryd Hayne and ****ed a sex doll, he's made fun of rape. And I can't see the AFL being overly impressed about that

 

[George Kramer]

I don't think there is much to query there, outside of it falling in the broader trend of we clearly don't care for this draft after pick 4.

Of course we care about it but we have no list spots and have prioritised bringing in players as they’ve put 2024 on lack of experience which is a cop out.

Now should the 15th ranked team be tight for lost spots? I wouldn’t have thought so. Doesn’t help when your moron coach gets a cooked player to his trigger and then drops him.

 

[George Kramer]

If he's dressed up as Jarryd Hayne and ****ed a sex doll, he's made fun of rape. And I can't see the AFL being overly impressed about that

Especially if he’s taken it to another level in front of others, not saying that’s what he’s done, but 6 weeks suggests something full on.

Just a hindsight thought. Have the Crows shot themselves in the foot with taking Tyler out of an environment where he was thriving as an U18 and putting him into a full-time team of wannabee AFL players, retired ex SANFL and AFL players and country hacks. With him ignoring school too much time for other things at to young an age.

In past years we gave players like Tyler a few games to get a feel for playing senior footy.

I'm the opposite of the "woke is bad" Neanderthals out there but agree. Ridiculous.
Would anything happen if this was geelong?
