Yer, I'm hoping we can de-GC him and get another top player in the comp.People are basically saying the same for Rankine before he moved over...

Yer, I'm hoping we can de-GC him and get another top player in the comp.People are basically saying the same for Rankine before he moved over...
I sense Rankine was ok to stay at GCS if a trade didn't eventuate (I recall there was an Instagram post of him with other GCS players at GC while still doing rehab on his injured shoulder weeks after the season ended). Wasn't it reported we were a handful of clubs interested in Bowes although very late and Dangerfield was already in his ear so Geelong was always his choice?
I'm sure the report of our interest was very late. Dangerfield was already talking to him before pick 7 was on the table and Bowes needed to nominate us, so you were willing to offer him $950K given he was already on a big contract?Gibbs didn't explode into flames when he didn't get traded the first time, yeah I'm sure Rankine would've been fine.
It was reported we were interested in the Bowes deal, as we should have been, is was an amazing deal. They were relying on our first rounder so as to give up the other first with Bowes. We had leverage and we were pussies, good list managers make it happen.
But Bowes chose Geelong though that's why they traded him there and not to us. Or do you mean to try and get in a 3 way deal?Gibbs didn't explode into flames when he didn't get traded the first time, yeah I'm sure Rankine would've been fine.

Get gc to test how much geelong actually wanted Bowes.But Bowes chose Geelong though that's why they traded him there and not to us. Or do you mean to try and get in a 3 way deal?
We’ve done very well over the last few years
Those are first round draft picks, Hamish's record since Nicks took over has been excellent.

No, he waited until he arrived at West Lakes for that.Gibbs didn't explode into flames when he didn't get traded the first time, yeah I'm sure Rankine would've been fine.

Lol, Bowes had zero interest in coming to SA. Neither SA team was even remotely in the frame - the whole thing is in the Stan documentary.Gibbs didn't explode into flames when he didn't get traded the first time, yeah I'm sure Rankine would've been fine.

Go watch the doco.You get Bowes to choose us. Promise him the world, bulk midfield minutes and bulk cash. Get all the boys to call him telling him to come. You make the deal happen.
To be clear IDGAF about Bowes I just wanted the pick.
I don't know how they have been good either.Utter twaddle
We should recruit Luko in 5 years when football is a non contact sport. He’ll be in his element then.People are basically saying the same for Rankine before he moved over...
Go watch the doco.
He had no interest in SA, for whatever reason.
Sounds like a deflection without actually giving an opinion.I lol’d because of the reasons given in my post, you contradicted yourself.
As for comparing it to just those 2 clubs, that’s meaningless given all the other players drafted who we could have selected.
I maintain it wasn't the getting of bowes and pick 7 from our end, it was the foresight to see a deal that coukd be made by being the 3rd club there that also involved our pick 5, F1 and rankine so we could have got that pick 7 along with rankine and then we would have phillipou in our side as well right now.Of course he didn't have any interest in SA. But you sell it to him i.e. ram it down his throat (in a positive way).
If it comes with a big payrise and an apprenticeship in pub ownership then maybe he might feel a twitch in his pants.
GC needed us to do the Rankine deal first. We could've pushed him our way earlier and get a look in.
Go watch a stan doco? Just tell me to go **** myself, it would be more polite.
Hasn’t Bowes said after the trade that we met with him and we’re really keen to bring him to Adelaide, but ultimately he chose Geelong for reasonsOf course he didn't have any interest in SA. But you sell it to him i.e. ram it down his throat (in a positive way).

2019 - complete and utter disasterSounds like a deflection without actually giving an opinion.
What is your assessment of the post Pyke era drafting?
I could be wrong but this was the gist of his managers ( or some manager role) tweetAll Phillipou's highlights are in the forward line. Is this just a case of StK playing Phillipou in the midfield in the VFL then bringing him in to play forward like we do with Dowling?
His last 2 AFL games he had 5 and 4 possesions... probably need to watch some of his VFL games to get an idea of how he goes in the midfield.
