Mod note:

Opposition posters making outlandish trade suggestions to bait the Crows board will be considered trolls and dealt with in the usual manner

No one wants a repeat of the Gibbs thread

Awww Colonel. It's OK that you have no friends

Says the guy rushing in here desperate for attention

Look at me
Look at me
Get around me
Pay attention to me!

Yeah that's my style. Let's compare post counts

Nothing worse than a narcissist seeking attention on an annonymous footy forum.

 

[Sanders]

Agreed. It is

 

[1970crow]

Of course it’s not true.

He’s a bruise free player whose marketability is heading south at a rate of knots, he’s not in a position to rule anything out.

The idea that a player is making career decisions based on half-arsed, school yard ideas of good club/bad club allegiances is for the birds

It’s just insulting. The old man is probably laughing his head off that feenix ate it all up

I agree mostly. But I can also see someone imposing their own bias on the situation when they’ve no skin in the game or it’s not close to whip cracking time. Easy for the old man to say in February, harder to be influenced by petty hatreds when the discussions get serious towards the end of the season.

Nah. The real fun part is a notorious attention seeker pumping the old man for gossip and running back here fast as he can

Wouldn’t even assume the old man didn’t see our friend for what he is

Its definitely in Lukosius best interest to have both SA Clubs interested so that he can drive the price of his contract to come back to SA.

I would also be surprised if Adelaide wouldn't be the team to offer the most attractive contract offer.
Plus the squad is clearly heading in the direction of success, as opposed to Port who once their oldies have finished won't be.

Port are definitely going to be heading into decline, its just at what rate will they fall off the cliff, this year or next.

More likely it’s not the old man’s first rodeo. People always coming up to him and wanting to talk about Jack - he’d be used to it by now.

He’s trolling ol Feenix, and I’d bet he says the opposite when a pear fan asks the same questions

I would be, after all where does Luko fit in our rebuild?

Outside mid/half back? We brought in Dawson last year and that's a pretty strong area prospect wise for us (plus it's an easy place to find players). Key forward? Likelihood he cuts Thilthorpes lunch by wanting to be that Riedwoldt like roaming forward.

I could easily see a scenario with Luko where the two of us decide pretty quickly that it's a poor fit for how much it'd cost and move on.

I’ve got private messages from Volbeat in September last year confirming we have no interest in Luko.

On top of that Dawson is our guy to fill that role.

Lots of things can change, but you’d need to suspend a lot of critical thinking to believe we’ve somehow been left jilted at the altar. Not to mention the ego of thinking you’d extracted state secrets

I can tell you who he is not and that is Faith

Bringing in Dawson does effectively fill the Luko gap but with a player that is, y’know … good.

 

[Sanders]

Who is Volbeat?

He’s the only guy on here ever proven to have a real source (repeatedly) within the top table of club decision makers. I’m pretty sure I know who the source is, and it’s a recognisable, crucial name in our trading and pick management.

He predicted (on record) well before anyone (media or here) the Brad Crouch outcome, pedlar & rachele draft picks and our interest in Dawson.

I believe his connection to his source may have now been severed. But he has been the exception that proves the rule - the rule that no one has sources

For this one, it certainly seems that way. I will walk back what I wrote earlier as there is a genuine fit, however that's Luko being a Tom Lynch replacement, where we're looking for a psuedo-CHF but even then that's a lot of capital for what is a luxury player (and one that I'm unsure how much of a difference it will make at that). When it comes to it our forward line at the moment is desperate for a genuine power forward to play second fiddle to Thilthorpe.

Heck, that might be the biggest hole on our list at the moment.

We have many holes in our list, our midfield is the biggest concern, in terms of our next flag push.

Goddamnit.

Could have told me this Shit 3 weeks ago before I spent my time getting excited about Luko.

 

[Golumless]

Is that just us reacting to right now though?

We're not exactly short on midfield prospects capable of building the base of a premiership tilt Schoenberg, Pedlar, Berry and maybe Soligo (seeing how quickly his star has risen) in our system. That's before we consider players who could transition in time, such as Rachele and Cook who could both end up as high end mids in their own right.

Plus of course having a proper power forward + Thilthorpe (who could genuinely be everything) could improve our midfield by proxy by giving a pair of highly skilled targets to kick too. No doubt there is a flow on effect to how ours and opponent midfield functions from that.

 

[dogs105]

So may as well delete Lukosius from the thread title. He may come home but it won't be to the Crows. Practically from the horses mouth. Come at me

It’s been that way for many years. We’ve either gone inside heavy or not invested in a couple of efficient outsiders. I’m happy with the up and coming mids, but this takes time!

Dawson
Smith
Seedsman
Sholl
Milera

Hopefully more than 1 plays unlike last week.

Actually, that is solid, although I’m not familiar with Dawson’s style, but i hope to very soon.

Dawson is the best of the lot.
