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

 

[Mego Red]

Nah, according to Volbeat..

We arent into Phillipou.. he and his family are rumoured to be powa flog supporters and want him to go to Powa..

I don't think Volbeat said that and I don't think that would impact our decision in the least.

Must’ve got my wires crossed there..

Doesnt matter anyway.. we wont have pick 5 in the draft anyway.

 

[FR0GGY]

what is the context of these three pics?

Port powa

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

Yeah dont understand why they are talking him down, but hey happy to give them a 2nd rounder for him

The media and GC bashing has gone too far imo, his manager should call them out on it

But but but.. we care about his mental health..

 

[LeftyLuke]

Certainly aren't making themselves attractive to potential draftees with the reaction they're having.

If you want to leave prepare for them to burn you on the way out.

Classless by them

Why Crows' move for Rankine is a no-brainer

Izak Rankine has the potential to be the best player in the AFL. With that in mind, Adelaide’s seemingly successful pursuit is a no-brainer,…

They next Gold coaster we should be targetting is E. Hollands.

Crows supporter who looks to be every bit the gun he was touted to be in his draft year when he unfortunately did a knee.

Big bodied mid with class and elite skills.

Out of contract in 2024.

Perfect.. Suns will still have Cap drama’s (they will for years to come) and we’ll have some more big contracts (sloane 2023, B. Smith 2024) off the books and be flushed with coin..

Make an offer the lad cant refuse and the Suns cant match.

Fxxk em.

Looks a real hard nut too..

Yes but I’d try and push for one of their picks in the 30s to get back.

Split the pick would be the dream but that seems unlikely based on the reporting so far.

Well apparently next years draft is a lot stronger so maybe.

 

[Scorpus]

Nah

 

[Chase13]

Nah

Yes with pick in 20,s coming back
just get done early move on next trade

that fair both

we all know he will be a top liner in spot light

a rotating forward mid field role

no brainer

don’t haggle over steak knifes

we win suns at present win

we win in the end when he lights up Adelaide

that article above is true

true what we all see hope in rankine

wont get better player in this years draft

jhf next year book mark it

rebuild complete

wouldnt be surprised if we top eight side next year

with all doom gloom nicks doing a dam good job and will prove a lot wrong

we r smarter than so,e think and taking all right steps to get rebuild sorted asap

If thats what happens then I wont lose any sleep over it.. made my peace with it already.

But.. Wouldnt mind them giving us a second back.. then us putting it and our second together to get the Brisbane 1st..

Should be around pick 13 -15 you’d think..

Use it on Keeler.

Then get MM using later picks to match any bids..

In:
Rankine, Keeler, MM.. that would make me happy. Three very diverse and different players. All that helps fill holes in our list..

Could see Keeler and TT working well together sharing a CHF/Ruck role.. when one’s rucking the other is at CHF and vis versa..

Still no bloody elite mid but we wont get one without holding pick 5 and pick 5 IMO is gone..

I’m now thinking that we need to trade in an elite mature aged (23-26 year old) mid in 2023/24 using all our salary cap space.. put $900k or more in front of one.

A draftee aint gonna help us at this point..

I’m also confident Rachele, and to a lessor extent Rankine, can move into the midfield. Both have x-factor, elite skills and decision making plus speed and evasive abilities. Can see especially see Rachele in there and doing well.

I stopped reading at "with Ned McHenry and Lachie Murphy around the mark".

 

[LeftyLuke]

Nah. If we aren't splitting 5 I would rather we offer up our 2023 1st and back ourselves in to make the 8 and give them as bad a pick as possible.

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

So would people here do a straight swap pick 5 or nah…

Yeah I would

 

[Peter Doherty]

Nope. Gotta keep pick 5.

They can have our future first, good chance of being a top 10 pick.

Im pretty confident it will be Top 5 pick.

 

[Peter Doherty]

Yeah, it's going to be a good pick, no need to involve pick 5 this year.

no because we could redraft him with pick 5 at ND as OOC
he must be worth less than that because of that
