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

[Ciao Giacomo]

Interesting, first of all, I don't rate him but cheap ruckman / key forwards are hard to find. He is a better backup than Burgess who can't really ruck. He is a known quantity who has had AFL conditioning.

I'd be surprised if he is not on a list somewhere in 2025.

Imho, Toby Murray should be in front of the Berg and Burgess as a backup Ruck/Forward. Some people are very hopeful that Chris Burgess will be playing in the red and black next year.

 

[Crow till I die]

Really bad deal. God we suck.

IF they are saying that and it ends up being true, kiss our F1 goodbye for luko then

 

[Executive Landlord]

If that's true how are we getting reamed for a player that wants to come here for personal reasons. Almost impossible to do worse in that trade. Doesn't fit our list profile at all.

of course it will be what did you expect. hes a million $ a year player. whether he should be or not. you are not getting him for a bag of chips

 

[Danger in Texas]

Jay Clark adamant last night on MMM in Melbourne that Lukosius and Cumming to the Crows. He’s not the first journo to be confident on this either, Sam Edmund and Cal Twomey have said this for a while too. Either they’re all getting fed bad info, or these deals are already a long way down the line.

Is there a clip of this somewhere?

 

[Golumless]

On gettable cal towmey said pick 25 for ANB done deal.....I'm not happy about that.

Seems about the expected price for a contracted ANB, seeing it's similar to the Taylor Adams deal for Sydney last year. Just to pick on someone recent who was 28--29, been a long-term mainstay and moving clubs to fill a 4th-6th forward role.

Decent difference between 33 and 25, especially in a draft like this where the depth into the 20’s/30’s is stronger than most years

Not really. Both are second round picks (plus we're dealing with a contracted player whereas Adams was uncontracted).

It's not 12 and 5 kind of difference where you're expecting some form of quality drop off between the two picks.

 

[jenny61_99]

Apart from the fact BF goes nuts over the slightest suggestion of a big fish .....for most Clubs, they're few & far between

Who was Ports last Big Fish ?

None of those you mentioned were ever coming to Adelaide .....Day has far more emotional ties to HAW than Adelaide

JHF? Pretty big I reckon.

 

[bettingonbetts]

I will wear my whole crows getup for a week if we walk away with Luko, ANB, Cumming and our R1 draft pick

 

[Mostyn]

Why is the fact that he is massively overpaid mean that we should pay more for him in picks??

Doesn't fit out list profile???????????????????????????????????????

So it’s ANB for McAdam (25 is the pick we got for him).
Sounds like a win

 

[jenny61_99]

Burns you would expect would be gone.

Probably Godden too.

But when the senior coach is inadequate, we are just delaying the inevitable unless we have a Carr scenario.

At the very least, godden and burns out, betters us.

thats the argument GC will pull. not that hes worth it

 

[crow2crow]

Is there a clip of this somewhere?

Well technically Melbourne got McAdam a year earlier.

Its not our fault they broke him.

No, this is throwing our win in the bin. Its clear the top 30 in this draft is strong, we are throwing away a potential 12-14 year player for a 29 year old who has never been close to AA. ANB is a good player but hes 29. They have no leverage, he has to come home for family reasons. We are so dumb.

write that in your member survey comments like I did about never wanting to see murphy play again or I expect a phone call

He was broken before he even left us.

 

[daniel_4tw]

Pick 25 would be terrible. Should be a third or F2.
