[huludicidal]

such a pathetic loser mindset constantly comparing us to them when they've actually underperformed massively for the vast majority of what should have been their peak.

if they're so much better in every way go support them

Clearly literacy isn’t your strong point. The comparison was clearly relevant in the context of what was being discussed, which was the choices that Lukosius and Cumming are currently weighing up.

But you’d have to actually read the relevant posts to know that.

 

[cleanhands]

I get the feeling people are genuinely scared Port will win this years flag and their anxieties are bubbling over

I’m pissed they got this far

Probably not at the same level as him

He could have made up for it if he belted Ken

 

[ABAB]

cumming to adelaide is done so this isnt a scenario

luko - who knows but im sure it will be whatever GC gets the best deal out of not what luko wants

If the reported rumour GCS are offering pick 26 is true then it's likely they are dealing with our F1 so we are asking for more which is inline with the ITK poster saying that the trade will only occur depending on us.

 

[Crow till I die]

Probably not at the same level as him

He did let Ken know what he thought of the club



7News.com.au reported that in Sicily’s post-match spat with Hinkley, he told the 57-year-old that his club has been “nowhere club for eight years”.

 

[TBM]

It must be a strategy of the AFC. It feels like every year, regardless of the obvious delist choices, we are one of the last to confirm our delisted players.

I would gag if the club was not announcing McHenry because it was in their thoughts to potentially pivot and keep him.

For what it's worth, we'd already made delistings by this time last year. And that was only 1-2 weeks post-SANFL Finals exit.

Former first-round pick, ex-Pie among four Crows axed

The Crows have axed four players from their list

www.afl.com.au

I can't understand why we aren't already announcing cuts to deadweight like McHenry, Gollant, Parnell, regardless of our trade target plans... We're 15th and haven't played finals for 7 years - should be turning the list over much more aggressively.

Even if we dont get our targets then going back to the draft is an option

 

[1990crow]

Not a great option.

 

[GreyCrow]

Not a great option.

As opposed to McHenry, Gollant and Burgess going again?

 

[Cromulant]

As opposed to McHenry, Gollant and Burgess going again?

I reckon theres solid AFL ability in the first 2.

I can see Ned carving out a Keays like career somewhere

 

[TBM]

Even if we dont get our targets then going back to the draft is an option

Perfect time to do it in a strong, deep draft as well. There'll be a lot of value in later picks this year.

 

[Jars458]

Swans by plenty.

 

[crow2crow]

Have we set a date for ours yet?

It's basically been dead silence from the club apart from a few re-signings.

we aren't having one nobody played well enough to deserve it

well he should go carve at another table...

 

[Cromulant]

Oh for sure, I dont think we need him but I just think he's another thats been pretty poorly managed over his time here.

 

[fossilllCrow]

What are everyone’s thought with rumours like Cumming are they also being said on other teams threads?

We seem to be very confident which I am to but then wonder if Port nuffies are also saying the same

Have a look at how the Victorian media see other clubs paying and absolute premium for Richmond players to help their rebuild. Just look at that pick trade they spitball with Brisbane..like get stuffed VFL media. Complete fan fiction being peddled as journalism.

How six trades can revitalise Richmond’s list in one offseason

2024 wasn’t a lot of fun for Richmond, but by following this blueprint they won’t stay anchored to the bottom of the ladder for long!

Trade 5 – Brisbane
Pick 25~, 39, 41, 49, 52, 66 & 73 (equivalent of pick 4) OUT; Pick 15 and 2025 1st (via BRIS) IN

Wow… even for a PlayStation trade that is crazy.

No one actually believes this, right?

They've normally made the first round of announcements by now.

Mind you, they've also normally held the B&F by now too. I can understand them holding off on the delistings until after the B&F. Not sure why the B&F has been delayed so long, given that both the AFL & SANFL teams have been finished for several weeks.

It's probably being influenced by a lack of certainty over the inbound players. ANB is confirmed, but they're obviously still waiting for Luko & Cumming to make decisions. Once they know how many players are inbound, they can finalise the number of players they need to delist to make it happen.

 

[SLOWNE]

I think he stays put and this is just the Suns giving him a kick up the bum.

I don't think they can afford to keep him.

Crows really need to stand strong, our position should've been R2 only, surely you cant use that on ANB.
