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

 

[Eagleboy2011]

You haven't seen enough improvement from Fogarty, Parnell, Berry, Soligo, etc?

Throw in Rachelle and Worrall as well. Point taken.
I probably should have said our untried or little tried boys. Pedlar, Borlace, Nankervis, Cooke. Pedlar will make it. We need a good preseason from Hately, McPgerson, Gollont etc. The building blocks seem to be there.

Welp, that sucks. Reid immediately brought up pick 5 when talking about Rankine.

 

[Peter Doherty]

If it's going to be pick 5, we need to get pick 25 back. Values Rankine at pick 15 and means we may get Rankine and Keeler for pick 5.

Yup, was always the likely case with how dire our list situation is, especially as Brisbane didn't do the team thing and get KO'd during the elimination final.

No Pick is being put aside for Keeler. Reid described picking him up as being 'out of our hands' on whether he is selected before Pick 40

He got absolutely professionally baited into giving that information away, what a moron.

He doesn't have a good history. Didn't trade b crouch after he won the bnf. We were never giving him a long term deal. Instead lost him for sweet fa a year later.

Reid and Kelly:

Professionally baited? He offered it up within the first 15 seconds of the interview

Yep, it was pretty unprompted. Clearly had an agenda to put it out there that the deal will involve pick 5.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

If we offer pick 5 that easily in a good draft then Reid needs to go. Need a new list manager. How easy is the Job. Reid laughing all the way to the bank.
Hamish wont have anything to do on draft night the way its going. Maybe a late speculative pick.

 

[Scorpus]

Did Justin Reid go to the David Noble school of negotiation?

Next we'll be hearing we need to get it done on the first day of the trade period

Could he just be alerting other clubs of our willingness to split 5?

Tried to trade Crouch prior to him becoming a FA. AFL knocked it on the head.

 

[Peter Doherty]

That's a pretty optimistic view. Possible, I guess.

 

[pjcrows]

Could he just be alerting other clubs of our willingness to split 5?

Based on recent history, no.

maybe Reid is a bit wobbly giving Hamish a top 10 draft pick to pplay with - I know I am

 

[Mego Red]

i know mcpherson is SA the point is hes a spud

fogarty no relevance to my post

top 10 picks you take the best talent I'm talking about picks in the 40s !

There were 41 players taken before Ballard, ffs - and the previous year, McPherson was looking like a top ten pick.

This is just a stupid thing to waste energy over.

 

[George Kramer]

I dare say we've already told GC pick 5 is available, if thats the case no harm in mentioning it on Trade Radio.

We've had weeks to discuss this trade already, so not as if they wouldn't have had a few convos. As long as we aren't giving up more and preferably getting something back.

 

[Mego Red]

He got absolutely professionally baited into giving that information away, what a moron.

Lol, all they did was ask "so, Rankine?" and Reid came out with "pick 5 is sitting there".

If we don't get 25 back ...

 

[Mego Red]

No Pick is being put aside for Keeler. Reid described picking him up as being 'out of our hands' on whether he is selected before Pick 40

I would have thought Barnett would be a bigger priority than Keeler.

 

[Crow till I die]

Lets hope they have something in the works to get a decent pick back or upgrade our 2nd at the least

He also mentioned we want a future 3rd for Frampton and that has been discussed with Collingwood..that would be a good return if next year is a good draft like we keep hearing

 

[Mego Red]

Considering how good Reid has been in negotiating most deals in the past, it would be shitful to give away 5 or more.

It'll be absolutely annoying to hear the media and other clubs' supporters saying "of course it was at least 5".
