Rumour 2024 Rumours and Speculation (Rumours total 25, last 28th August)

[Fritz n Sauce]

I'd give up pick 4 and next year's first for ANB and kosi. He's not the pure mid but we can rotate him and Rankine.

Good suggestion

 

[Josh Jenkins #1Fan]

Yes, he's apparently happy here.

Lucky given how he has been treated.

He has been treated bad? Inside knowledge of this?

Lol, have you seen our selections this year...

Umm. No.

I cant help wonder whether there is a massive trap this year with trading. This draft is pretty decent by all reports but this also comes at the same time as a lot of decent talent are requesting trades.

Honestly, if the Crows simply wanted it they could easily bring in ANB, Luko, Cummins and one of Picket, Oliver and Petty. I dont think it would be hard at all to make all those deals happen. Could even bring in another player which would be huge. But we would take ourselves out of the top end of the draft entirely. Which by all reports has some very good midfield talent which we need.

Tbh it’s nothing compared to Rachele! I’d tell them to jump and ask for a trade if I was him

Twomey inferring it’ll be nothing beyond the three that have already been bandied about (in regards to significant pieces, anyway)

 

[Fivel_79]

Why does it feel like if we trade 4 whoever is selected at pick 4 will become a generational player and if we keep it picks 3 and 5 will be awesome and 4 will bust.

Because Adelaide Crows.

Small rumour - mentioned in Inside Trading that we have interest in VFL forwards Sam Davidson and Corey Ellison

What kind of Forwards are they? We are crying out for a small forward who actually kicks goals

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Worth looking at?

 

[BRL121]

Dees a more akin to the titanic at the moment.

So everything is going swimmingly.

Pretty sure we were linked with both last year at one point, Ellison for sure...can't see it personally.

Can play would certainly interest me.

Probably because the asking price means we give away the opportunity to draft a young star player in a position we really need. He made one mistake though, he forgot which club he is dealing with. What he mentioned is what any sane club would do. We are Adelaide. We are just as likely to through pick 4 and next years future 1st to land Luko. Probably trade this years second for ANB and next years future 2nd at Cummings. Then complain we couldnt get Welsh because it was one or the other.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Potentially a very good player ....he'll get snapped up

Not sure of his work ethic though

 

[ams4crows]

If we could get away with a F4th rounder I would absolutely be interested in Rosas

 

[Magma]

Worth looking at?

quite like him as a player

Going off very surface level research

Davidson kicked 26 goals in 17 games as a small forward for Richmond VFL, averaged 14.4 touches

I think this is his draft profile? 25yo

Sam Davidson

central.rookieme.com

Ellison a former defender that switched forward, kicked 31 goals from 18 games. 192cm, 24yo

We desperately need the talent and the footskills though

Davidson only started playing VFL this year so I reckon this is the first time for him

Would surely be rookie for both, given age

Interesting, I’d ask the question at least

Cummings is a free agent, and if you sell your future 1st you can't touch your other future picks in the other rounds unless you trade back in a future first from another club

beat me to it. A 3rd rounder might get that done as he can't crack it at GC and put him in and around the goals and he could work out well for what we need to free up Rankine and Rachele further for midfield
