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

 

[glengowan]

So it would appear Adelaide would much rather let go of pick 5 this year, than let go of their 1st rounder next year? Presumably they don’t rate Phillipou etc. ahead of the top dozen or so from next years draft?

Unless Adelaide are holding out for a live trade on draft night?

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Pick 5 could also fail spectacularly, FWIW. Hell, look at McAsey

Just not seeing many match winners available at pick 6 this draft … few solid types

Phillipou the best local and most upside who could make us regret perhaps

Would like to get him too

 

[Croweater23]

wonder if Shane will give him the 23.

Wouldn’t mind something like our pick 5 plus a swap of second rounders. Back ourselves in to improve

Be interesting if phillipou was born a few days later what pick he’d go for in next years draft and where he’d be rated in the cohort now

Would predict top 4-5

You’d almost think it would be worth the risk of a future 1st trade

Maybe it’s possible on draft night

He’ll get his own 22, with Billy on the way out

 

[Southerntakeover]

Are we ? What number would he go on the draft do you think ?

No one ahead of us would draft him if he entered.

Or maybe gold coast dont want the future first as it would get eaten in bids.

Alot of this is his bottom age year too - freak

Looks every bit a midfielder for mine.

Agree with the player thoughts .....but what do you think we would have had to pay, if Rankine was Contracted ?

IF it's pick #5 and 3rd rnd pick ......why the hell is it dragging on .....seems pretty straight forward to me

I think we want something back to ensure we get Keeler and Michaelany.
The comment recently of "well pick 5 is sitting there" means we've offered that pick and it's available to GC if they return us what we want.

But like everyone, I'm guessing...

 

[Gary123]

I hope he sticks with 22, make that his own

 

[GreyCrow]

Last trade of the day

Just like a 6.05 Friday night announcement

Sensational.

Can’t wait to see what burgess turns him into.

 

[Croweater23]

They’ll be retiring that.

David King still running with the "Not sure Izak can handle the fishbowl environment in Adelaide" line.

Did he ever say that about Dawson?

 

[Torpedro]

Assuming it's 45 (please), we can match a bid for Michalanney anywhere from 34 onwards, I believe

That pick 45 might actually come in a few spots after bids for the Lions father sons eat up all their draft picks

Edit: I see I’m not the first to mention this

 

[LoBu]

Just responding to David King and the bullshit narrative that SA is a fishbowl. It can get far worse in VIC as shown by the way they treated JHF this year.

Trust me Rankine will get more SA media attention next year than JHF

It doesn't matter if you're in a fish bowl or an ocean if the magnifying glass is on you...

[LeftyLuke]

maybe good point, AFC hierarchy dont trust hamish with top picks

Why do they keep employing him then?

 

[crow2crow]

Are we ? What number would he go on the draft do you think ?

if you put him in the ND not the PSD with a 1.5m price on his head, hes not getting picked up by anyone unless it was us

paying 5 for an uncontracted players is nuts unless there is
1. more to it - the deal
2. future trading the two clubs are working out for next year
3. rankine deal specifies the compo for GC
4. maybe we dont rate anyone from picks 6(5) - 20 odd and so they dont care

we lost a contracted cameron for 14 FFS - who was significantly better at one year older

i want him but this is a really shit deal by trading standards

Hopefully we are playing nice because we're planing to dip from the GC well twice with Hollands
I'm glad we got TT, but was gutted we didn't get Hollands in that draft.

i guarantee you hollands was more gutted than you or I

A gun mid from Vic who actually barracked for us because of his dad's time in SA...it burned

 

[Crows I Am]

No one ahead of us would draft him if he entered.

There is no guarantee though. Essendon have a pick before us and could quite easily pick him up.

It's also not a great look to any other player that we are going to target in the next few years. It's hard enough to convince them to come play for us as it is, let alone if we show that we are happy to let them go to the PSD or ND and then risk them ending up anywhere. If they nominate us, they want to know that we are going to do everything we can to get the deal done.

incorrect
they will take sheezel on min chips if they want a small forward

With Phillipou only just eligible for this year's draft where would he be ranked in next yrs draft top 5?

As long as there are teams with picks before us, there is still a chance someone could take him. I agree it would be unlikely, but it's still a risk that we could lose him. We have put all this time and effort into getting him to agree to come, no way would we then risk losing him just to avoid giving up a 3rd rounder.

We would be the laughing stock of the competition if we let him go to the draft and then someone else took him before our pick, and then it would make it even harder to convince future trade targets to agree to come play for us.
