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

Outside of Keays Pedlar is our tallest midfielder atm. Keays is 185cm still a tad under 6'1 and Pedlar is 184cm. But in comparison to our other mids they're kinda giants.

For reference JHF is 185cm but I'd be happy for a straight swap with our other 185cm mid @ Port. We are really missing that explosive elite mid 188 or + and we haven't had that since Danger departed at the end of 2015 and by the looks of it, we won't have it in 2023. That is not all that far off a decade.

We do have Hinge, Hately and Dawson all 190cm. All are capable of playing in the midfield

Basically geelong getting all the afl concessions... leading to a premierships.... most premierships are the result of concessions.

And now they are shopping Sharp after giving away picks to get him!

You've completely written off Jackson Hately I take it?

Don't think Brett Turner makes it?

Hately is very close to a write off. Would not have any problem if he was delisted.

Turner actually looked pretty good in the couple of late sanfl games I saw. Will be interesting to see how he goes next year.

We do not have the elite midfielder requirements met. We've traded away our ability to add to it. This is bad.

This is inarguable.

Well, problem solved.

Hatley looked great the few games they allowed him to play mid... but Berry took his spot and they put him on the HFF or wing.

Again usual AFC... play a mid OOP and ruin them.

I think midfielders with skills are more important than tall midfielders.

Our problems are mainly that our midfielders couldn’t hit the side of a barn

 

[Anzacpaul]

F4 for Corbett, if the Herald Sun is right, it's happening

He played okay, but how many of these types (slow with poor skills) can we have? Berry has more ability so he definitely gets the nod over Hately.

So it’s 5 plus 2nd with maybe 4th coming back

thats a lot

but by end year we will forget quickly when lights up games

Yuk, giving that future 2nd is not great for us. That pick will be in the early 20's in a strong draft.

Got to hope that is the sticking point for us and we are pushing back.

 

[FR0GGY]

Absolute dog shit if we give more than pick 5

 

[Crowked]

Time to slam the laptop and walk out I reckon.

5+ is a joke

 

[Red mist]

Overpaying to raid them again next year? If not it sucks.

Holland’s next year fingers crossed

Under pay them and still hit them next year.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Here....

Godden even tried to turn him into a tagger, prioritised old cooked, injured players over him, dropped him at the very first sign of him struggling..

Sorry..

Shouldve written that better..

Only the first line up to the first comma refered to Godden..

The rest was just what the club as a whole did to him over the first two-three years..

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Where are people getting it from that we are giving a second as well?

 

[Mutineer]

Holland’s next year fingers crossed

Contracted to 2024.

The fact that we're trading more than Pick 5 for Rankine does make me suspicious.

Could Rankine + his management have requested a minimum Pick standard?

Have we been notified of other trade opportunities come next year and are keeping a good working relationship with GC?

If it's Pick 5 + extra and that's it, then we've simply caved in to AFL/Public/Media pressure, and we may become the first club that has been bent over by Gold Coast at the trade table. What a miserable outcome that is.

Could be we're getting some points back for MM? so it's more akin to 5 for rankine and future second for MM? Either way it is certainly interesting if we give up more.

Or do our list management just have NFI.

SEN earlier today said we're likely giving a sweetener gold coasts way.

we should be getting something back anyway. no excuses

Our list management have probably used a computer to determine pick 5 is actually really awesome value and giving up more is just fine too

I just can’t comprehend that.
They’ve rubbished him In the media and he still wants to look after them?

It will be nothing short of incompetence, we have all the leverage, especially with port being into JHF
