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

 

[spenze]

Suns board talking about backflip

Like Rankine staying?

At that stage are they?

Poor buggers

 

[WAG]

I agree with you but let’s compare to 2 other likely trades this year

What’s Tim Taranto worth? Previous Pick 2 - in the system 2 years longer, AA quality mid, B&F winner. Can play forward quite well so flexible - and durable , just hitting the magical 100 game mark

Luke Jackson - pick 3, already a big game star as seen in last years GF. A possible generational talent as a ruckman - drafted the year after Rankine and arguably the best young star in the comp under 22

Now early media reports are Taranto for Collingwood pick 15/16 ish - surely he is worth the same/very similar to Rankine or Butters


Luke Jackson - Freo have hardly any picks (currently 14 and 72). Unquestionably he is worth more than Rankine. What’s the best you think Freo can/will offer - pick 14 and maybe a future first (likely around 14 again)

Not too many clubs would trade pick 5 for 2 pick 14’s

The only reason people are suggesting pick 5 has to be included is because that’s the highest pick we have - if we finished 10th this year and had pick 8 that’s what they would be saying needs to be included

In reality though pick 5 is worth a hell of a lot more than pick 8. If you were trading picks then you would be expecting at least an early second rounder to trade pick 5 down to 8, maybe in even a late first. This gets lost in the emotional of good players leaving

So that’s what Adelaide should work through - like they did with Dawson last year - and ensure they maximise the value of pick 5 to ensure they get Rankine for a reasonable price from GC - when GC will be looking for a fair to very good price for him

Can you please, please send this to every ****en Victorian 'journo' and media hoar.


Please.

Crows got Charlie Cameron from the rookie draft so pick 12 is fair.

Irrelevant to any trade value

[TryAnHit]

Or we need to split for 2x later 1st rounders - 1 for Hopper, 1 for Rankine.

We have a hopper.... in match crouch... they are almost identical players.

King advises Rankine not to leave Gold Coast because he might be under too much pressure.

So if they think he can't handle pressure, why is he worth Pick 5?

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

Is all of this Izac Rankine "is the most poorly advised players getting around" stuff from the media starting to get a bit disrespectful to him?

Like he's not intelligent enough to make a smart financial decision?

I don't see how he loses.

Anyway I think it was Leigh Montagna who made a good point, linked here earlier, said if $800k is over paid, what's he actually worth, then I think it was Carey who said $650k no problems, so he replied that there would be hundreds of players across the league that were overpaid in recent times based on their contract vs. output, guys who are paid $450k but form was down, missed games whatever and their output was $300k worth but nobody says anything. Top end and "highest paid" and everyone starts freaking out.

Absolutely it’s disrespectful to him. Effectively saying he won’t be able to perform under pressure. Full stop.

So by this vic media logic doesn’t it also mean that Rankine has reduced value as he wouldn’t be able to perform on the big stage in September either if he stays at GCS?

VIC media logic!

Touché!

 

[Ramify]

Do you at least agree that the salary and length of contract offered is a reflection ofthe value a club places on a player?

Which thread on your board do you think I'd get away with this level of asinine, repetitive trolling?

And can I say you invited me?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

No they are very different types of players.

Hopper is bigger bodied mid, who can also play as a forward.

 

[Gtowncrow]

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

In the history of Gold coast, have they ever had a big game of showdown level or higher? Serious question.

I think Izak will love it here...

 

[Gtowncrow]

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

I don't think we're in Kansas anymore...

Considering Izak would have watched a number of showdowns over the years, he will know exactly what to expect and imo he is the sort of guy that could make life a misery for Port for the next decade

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Geez looking at the GC board they hate us (Crows BF posters) and they hate Adelaide as a club & a place.

Looking at some of their stories about what happens at our games, I've been going for 30 years and not seen most of what they are talking about, and certainly not any of it more than once or twice

Also much prefer Adelaide as a place to live compared to the fake plastic Gold Coast full of tossers from other places.

As if any of them have ever been to a game here

Yes. Things got serious when Stuart Dew was first in line at the buffet.

Not quite the "big game" I was thinking of.

A plastic artificial franchise that should be shipped off to Tasmania and re-badged as the Tasmanian Devils.

 

[Betts are off]

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

Cue condescending remark about his AFL credibility from Caroline Wilson followed by Smirking muffled laughter from VIC biased panel

 

[Betts are off]

Just went back and watched his Carnival highlights....

Holy **** on toast that kid lit it up, he could be inside a phonebox and still shake 2 tacklers and snag a goal from the boundary! So wildly obvious that he's a big stage player.

Can't wait to see him in front of 50k fans! Port fans are gonna despise him. And I love it

They will get double barrel of R&R in the next showdown. Rankine in one pocket, Rachele in the other.

Just need someone in the middle to deliver the ball well. I hope if the rumours are true we are into Hopper.

 

[LeftyLuke]

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.

I think a 3rd club could easily get involved in this trade as pick 5 appears to be more valuable to just about every other club but Gold Coast.

The other thing is it's not like he is magically worth the pick we have. If we had pick 3 or pick 8 that's what everyone would be talking about.

Pick 5 may be used on another traded player. If that's the case it's our 2023 1st with their 2023 2nd coming to us or the psd. I would like to see us trade pick 5 out for two first round picks or use it on another player coming in. Take it completely out of the equation so they can't ask for something we don't have. If we hand over pick 5 when we took pick 12 for a contracted CC we are idiots.

 

[rocket18]

We aren’t in the business to be nice, we need to do what’s best for us, the AFC, as every club should do.

No no no.

Our Chairman wants a win-win, please keep up.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Crows got Charlie Cameron from the rookie draft so pick 12 is fair. You'd certainly want more for him if you gave up significant draft capital for him such as say a pick 5.

 

[GROTTO]

You have come on this board on a fishing expedition & it's about time you followed BF rules & respectful of our board, or frankly go elsewhere.

I dont mind when our jealous neighbours from their plastic franchise come on here post something stupid and leave. Its to be expected.

At least unlike Ford Festiva, we tolerate them to an extent and allow them to be heard at least.

He has now overstayed his welcome with continued deliberate trolling moronic comments.

 

[kirky]

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

Won’t be 65 for a few years yet.

And I’ve been retired for 4 years and it beats the hell out of working.
