News Izak Rankine, Gold coast holding Rankine to Ransom- #FreeIzak

[Scorpus]

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

Rozee does too and has done so multiple times.....kicked 4 goals in a quarter once when we were down.

Up to this point in their AFL careers Rozee has been way better. The future? Who knows.

Rozee was very good for most of this year but was a bit patchy prior to this year. The test for Rozee is doing it over an extended period of 2-3 years and also getting the tag.

 

[Runnin Blue]

I called it early that Rozee would be a gun. He tore it up in the SANFL finals for the Roosters.

I was devastated when Port got him. Had to keep reminding my Port supporting friends/family that they have a ripper on their hands when they were losing the faith.

He’s something special.

You’re welcome.

You’re welcome.

I expected you would have already posted the clip ...... all credit to you, my dear sir

Lol. I’m getting these guys views. Only had 235 watches last night.

Wanganeen was a gun at 16. I've watched a lot of footy and whilst a few 17 year olds really stand out, him and Kernahan were the two stand outs at that age

Ben Hart also stands out in AFL times. Started playing League for North Adelaide in the 1990 finals having just turned 16 Years. Played SANFL in 1991 mostly as a 16yo and was then All-Australian for the Crows in 1992 mostly as a 17yo.

James Aish also really stood out at 16yo + just a few months playing league for Norwood from early 2011. He was AA in both 2011 & 2012 in the National U18 Championships while playing League footy. Not quite in the class of Wanganeen or Hart though.

 

[CrowBloke]

A **** will also stand up in the heat of the moment

kirky and Kane McGoodwin, too:
None of the 3 of you is over 65, right?

Couldn't think of anything worse than shopping .....worse though is going with your partner, as she shops

That or sit at home watching the Bulldogs v Carlton on a Friday night...

Let me get my keys and jacket.

‘It does hurt’: Suns star reveals meeting with Rankine amid rival’s $4m mega-offer

‘It does hurt’: Suns star reveals plea to Rankine amid rival’s $4m bombshell

“We sat him down, we had a chat to him, our leadership group,” Miller told AFL 360.

“We literally just gave him our honest opinion and how we felt and what we felt with where his spot was in our club and how important he was to us succeeding and how much of a loss it is if he doesn’t play for us.”

Rankine still decided to depart, something Miller said was frustrating even though it is a common part of the AFL landscape.

“I’ll be honest, it is disappointing. I feel like for us, we felt like Izak, we put a lot of time into him,” he said.

“For the player that he is and going to become, I feel like we had a massive hand in that and trying to create that and surround him with a culture where he can thrive and relish.

Sounds like he left a cult. "One of us! One of us!"




So much commentary about a kid coming home to his home state.

Im already frothing at a the idea of a rotating mid/fwd setup between Rankine/Rachelle !

 

[GROTTO]

Im already frothing at a the idea of a rotating mid/fwd setup between Rankine/Rachelle !

With McAdam aerially taking marks, Fog taking strong chest marks, with Rankine and Rachele to gobble up any spilled marks, it does make it exciting.

Thats not even including Tex and TT to take the big tall one on one marks either.

Now we just some elite mids to deliver the ball.

 

[George Kramer]

So Rowey has said the Crows have told him that:

Rankine is on no where near $800k
Hes playing midfield
And......we arent giving up pick 5!!!!

Wow, going to be an interesting trade period

 

[Danger_zone]

Any word on Rankines shoulder injury? Hopefully, it's a quick recovery and can do the bulk of the preseason. Thinking we'll have to manage his minutes forward early on in the season and slowly increase his midfield time as the year progresses.

2024 is getting effing exciting!!

Must mean we are prepared to go the preseason draft to be that adamant.

Like

Hopefully it's bundling of players (Sholl/Mcasy/Crouch) for picks and maybe a future 1st/2nd rounder.

Would love it if this is the case.

So sounds like 2023 first rounder will be involved in some way
