This is our list management team

A little less? Carn.

This is essentially winning the mini jackpot after putting 10 K through the old one arm bandit

Sure is good to know the decision makers and power brokers at Alberton have saved the club by engendering enough good will to ensure that we're only f***ed to death with one broken bottle instead of two or three.

I'll sleep much better tonight knowing that.

 

[dirty2]

Even if Richards comes in and instantly becomes the best small forward in the league we still lose with this.

Atkins to Port WTF!! I remember the night of bananagate. R Atkins was one one of the crows players who was serving it up to our supporters on the eastern outer flank. And I mean really serving it up! Actually I thought that AFL took a dim view of visiting players stirring up the home supporters (yes I know it was our showdown) - yet nothing happened.
If I remember correctly this is when true Port Adelaide supporters got to really, really hate Rory Atkins

and the franchise who he played for.
And yet the news out there is that he maybe Alberton bound. WTF!! You’ve got to be joking.

 

[Brian McGee]

Bailey Smith, Clayton Oliver, Toby Greene.

Take Bailey smith with pick 13 if Geelong try and walk him to the draft.

 

[port_adelaide_1870]

Can’t get over the fact that we have a x2 AA, in our leadership group contracted for 3 more years saying he just wants to go to Victoria. Perfect chance for port to get a home run and get good compensation.

And this is the trade that Cripps has negotiated. Basically a pick in the mid teens and Ratkins

 

[Expat power]

It's nothing against Chewy. It's that the info he's revealing is damning about the club. The responsive anger is directed at the club.

But what has he actually "revealed". Ken's still there and teh Houston deal isn't done as yet. Have I missed a big reveal from Chewy?

 

[gbear]

FFS just keep him. Bus deal is no where near his worth. Stop being cowards you soft *****

 

[manureid]

I like the notion of always doing trades where you get shafted just to keep everyone else in the league happy.... I mean, at what point does another team do something to keep us happy?

Answer: they don't. Because they don't ****ing care about that shit. But our soft **** admin do apparently.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Taking bets on who we'll shunt out next year to trade back into the draft. Bergman the most likely option. Butters a Hail Mary but you couldn't rule it out.

Why not both?

Bailey Smith, Clayton Oliver, Toby Greene.

Ollie wines, allir allir.

He has lots of clients.

I thought the first three had something in common.

I have a dream where there are no player manager's.

 

[Anyonebutken]

Twomey mentioned the deal he laid out hinges on port so I'm hoping it's a deal gold coast and Collingwood are pushing only and port will say not good enough and we get to keep our future first round. Maybe a 4th club might get involved.

 

[Waspy79]

The smug geniuses who run Port will have to once again condescend to explain to the white noise why this is such a great deal.

Must be a great burden for such incredibly smart operators like Koch, Richardson, Davies and Hinkley to explain the realities of the modern football industry to such an unsophisticated supporter base.

Pearsplaining

 

[JohnHinckleyJr]

Let's keep Collingwood happy the same campaigners who sold us Lonie pounced on Perryman **** us with our Guernsey's and fleeced Houston..

But please let's keep a ****ing Vic overlords happy ..

We may be able to embrace our history once we fold

and to leave his contract with the Gold Coast you would assume hes been promised game time, or a new 2+ year deal, most probably both.

 

[Us against the rest]

When did we go lower on the food chain than Gold Coast?

2017 when we didn't let Stinkers walk to the fake GC job.

 

[chachi11]

We caved as if Houston was uncontracted, how pathetic and weak are Cripps and Davies.

 

[240volt]

FFS just keep him. Bus deal is no where near his worth. Stop being cowards you soft *****

I don’t believe the bs that he is happy to stay at Port next year.
It might have started off like that but I’d bet a box of Chicko Rolls that’s all changed recently.

 

[PAFC66]

I hate this club more than aids

 

[KrispyKremeMullanikka]

Mate, 2 days after the trade is done all the usuals will be out talking about our acquisitions and how well we'll go this year. Happens every year, rage fades quickly amongst the RCG crew that just focus on the positive and will post threads on our exciting new best 22.

Look, I like most in here have been raging for yonks, and the rage isn’t fading if anything intensifies.

This isn’t like the Wingard trade, where Burton in 2018 was a player with good potential. Pick 15, which turned out to be 18, and 35, and add that to picks 5 + 12, and I can live with that.

This time we're giving up our gem, a 2x AA player, for King’s ransom of utter shit and scrub that’s been living in Gold Coast sewers from how shit he’s been.

Luko has good potential but so far hasn't shown anything major and has to hit the ground running when he comes. Richards has shown good signs in his handful of games but is very inexperienced at AFL level, but paying a king ransom for this potential is just not on.

It's not like paying a king ransom for bringing the Daicos brothers and a side of Pendlebury; like, come on, I'll be amazed if the rage fades, especially after this.

 

[rumoursofwinter]

Take Bailey smith with pick 13 if Geelong try and walk him to the draft.

Remember when Bailey Smith refused to be drafted by port for mental health reasons.

Tough t***ies he is contracted for another 3 years! He could go to north otherwise

Bailey smith is a massive cnut.
