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

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I think we have accepted we are parting with pick 5. With such a high draft pick on the table just about every club will make a call to us to see what it will take.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

I'd almost refuse to give them our first when we only got pick 12 for a contracted charlie cameron.

This is the closest comparison we can have ....... #12 for a Charlie Cameron is right in the "sweet spot" for Rankine .....after all, Charlie had kicked 5 goals in a Final

 

[GROTTO]

Rankine won’t want us to be giving up pick 5, he’ll be prepared to do what is needed to not give that up.

lol.


That sounds right out of the Patrick Dangerfield playbook. Well played.

 

[spexau]

Izak has had a better year than CC the year we traded. Has a higher ceiling imo too. I certainly wouldn’t be up in arms if we lost our first.

Statistically Cameron's 2017 and Rankine's 2022 are extremely similar. Standouts though, Rankine 1.6 goals vs 1.2. Cameron's 4.3 tackles vs 2.2. Cameron's 300 meters gained vs 230.

But also CC kicked 5 in a match winning Prelim performance as well.

CC has actually kicked two bags of 5 in Finals IIRC, he has proven to be quite a big game performer.

Exactly, especially out of contract players.

Been mentioned but I'd be annoyed at Cochrane if I was a Suns supporter / list manager. I get why he said it but any risk of him deciding to stay went out the window last night. They have to trade him now.

Don't recall cochrane being so upset when the suns took players from existing clubs for free eg Bock

 

[The Redfish]

It's a weird world when Dwayne Russell is actually making sense on SEN...

For those not listening...

• re Cochrane's comments brought up Ablett, Chol etc
• GC new that he was a flight risk and chose him anyway
• could of had both King's with their draft hand
• Rankine is out of contract and is quite within his rights to move

Yep, one of few bargaining chips Gold Coast had was the constant threat Rankine could change his mind in the next six weeks. Very unlikely but a possibility. Taking a cheap shot like that puts that risk away.

Also the all in this together talk is all well and good but contradicts clubs that trade and delist players. Player movement is part of the industry. He needed to be smarter with his words.

He was basically talking him down and highlighting injury issues, we should adjust our trade offer accordingly seeing as he's no good

Dwayne Russell as the voice of reason towards our club. What timeline are we in?

Makes so much sense to take both King brothers. Not just in hindsight but then too. A possible elite pillar either end is a great way to build a team.

 

[Chase13]

JHF is 185cm and 81kg. The same height as Keays and 7kg lighter. This is only a few cm's above Berry and Schoenberg. I'm not sure why people think a few cm's matters for a mid. There's no correlation between height / weight and clearances.

Because he will be a beast in midfield much like roo was

a clone of roo goal kicking mid

going be a gun

something we need and e
will get next year to complete rebuild

as for rankine if he translates in midfield he will be our bunger McCloud type

97 98 all over again

vic media know it

even kingy said if they get rankine and jhf be bang bang quickest rebuild

vic media know it getting bit worried

love it

just so they could draft Mac Andrew, because they thought Greenwood was so old no other club would draft him, and they would just re-draft him later on?

Happy to play fast and loose with players when it suits them, like all clubs. Players don't owe organisations, especially ones like GC, anything.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

lol.


That sounds right out of the Patrick Dangerfield playbook. Well played.

Should have posted it on the trade board.

Derwayne making sense...the worlds gone mad.
He is making good sensible points based on facts...have I slipped into a alternate reality?

They will go through the stages of trade grief like the rest of us have in the past.

The best bit is once the trade is done ... BOTH sides mock the other for being wrong

Roo played in a different era, it's hard to compare them. JHF is a smaller (unless he grows a few inches) Dangerfield/Fyfe type. These have both played in better teams than us and haven't won anything yet.

They’re still in the denial phase…

Yeeted Suns is going to eat that one up

Wait till they progress to the next phase of grief.

 

[Danger_zone]

Might be fun to poke fun at the Suns, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. The Rankine trade hasn't been finalised yet and a million things could go wrong between now and October.
