where does he say he is using pick 5 on rankine? he didnt. this is not star wars. this is not the jedi mind trickIf we had a good list management team, I'd expect the Crows to use pick 5 on an elite player in an important position (eg midfield)
It's going to be upsetting when we give away such a prized pick on a small forward instead
Reid clearly said we need to evaluate what we have on our list which is fair we are three year in on the rebuild. Not sure how many year people expect a complete rebuild to take
Rubbish.. we came off a GF fail with an old list which we have since cleared out.. in fact by the end of next year will be 90% gone.. premierships are as rare as rocking horse teeth teams rise to there window and fail continually.. it is only the teams that create that one minded attitude that succeed..We'll be perennially rebuilding if we don't draft elite midfield talent. Everything else is secondary.
Give it a rest please.Some key contributions
- Bill Sanders and Bob Hammond retiring long time ago I know
- Andrew Fagans appointment as CEO who admitted he wasnt an AFL fan and was an absolute ******* if you met him
- Phil Walsh being murdered
- Jobs for the boys appointments of hass, burton, smart and co
- Roo, Jamo and others not being qualified as directors
- A victorian recruiter who is focussed on vic country and tassie
- A data scientist doing the drafting based on statistical models not football ability
- A coach that got on the nose beers with the players
- Tippetgate, the camp, shall I go on?
The end game will be midfield imo. IF he transitions then he could be the next Andy McLeod with his skillset. Its up to him how high he can go as he has the talent - does he have the application?
Went into a bit more detail with a previous post, this response was directly related to ND.Why do people say ND no way in hell that happens it will be psd the reason being psd you have to match terms he puts on himself ie 1 year 1.5 mill nd you only have to match overall deal ie 5 years 4 mill
On this ....seems strange that after identifying a need for a big bodied MID ...that we would not pull out all stops to get a Sth Aust big bodied MIDWe'll be perennially rebuilding if we don't draft elite midfield talent. Everything else is secondary.
Nah ... the terms matching requirement in the ALF rules is the same ND or PSD.Why do people say ND no way in hell that happens it will be psd the reason being psd you have to match terms he puts on himself ie 1 year 1.5 mill nd you only have to match overall deal ie 5 years 4 mill
Rankine has already said that he doesn't want the PSD.Nah ... the terms matching requirement in the ALF rules is the same ND or PSD.
Probably more likely Rankine is not willing to chance ND or PSD ... and/or we don't really want to burn pick 5 on Rankine in the ND.

Didn't we draft Luke Pedlar at 10?"What do people expect?"
We've needed at least two young elite midfielders - with skills, and one with a big body - for five years.
We've done nothing about getting one, let alone two.
I guess because Essendon take him in the PSD, considering they have $3m of cap room and have already made an offer - but teams don't take him in the first 5 picks of the ND.Why do people say ND no way in hell that happens it will be psd the reason being psd you have to match terms he puts on himself ie 1 year 1.5 mill nd you only have to match overall deal ie 5 years 4 mill
No guarantees that JHF will even be a premium player.I'd like to see a better attitude from him in games before I start thinking about selling the farm for him.
There's a greater chance of a club like Bumbers spoiling the party even if there's a $1.5M price on the first year.Rankine has already said that he doesn't want the PSD.
Sure, I'm fine with that.fair enough - FF 2022. he needs to be cut and paid out. wasting a spot.
Would rather we go after E. HollandsI'd like to see a better attitude from him in games before I start thinking about selling the farm for him.

If (and it’s a big IF) we are front loading Rankine’s contract to the tune of 1.5mil, then we are going after someone. I’d put my money on Horne-Francis.Would rather we go after E. Hollands
Didn't we draft Luke Pedlar at 10?
11We did.

I have been saying for a while 2024 is realistic, when most of our playing group have reached 50+ games.Once we began our rebuild in 2020 "officially", I genuinely didnt think we would make finals till the latter part of the 2020s. That admittedly may turn on its head, if we acquire, Rankine, Phillipou and JHF and if they deliver on their potential.
I respect your opinion, as I believe a lot of Crows on here believe the same as you do.
Ive always viewed Nicks as our rebuild coach, as to whether he can take us to finals remains to be seen.
Would be an interesting poll, on when posters think when we will play finals? 2023,2024,2025,...2030...? Many on here believed 2022.
I know we are not Carlton, but its been 10+ years for them. Melbourne too, during their rebuild took a long time to reach finals.
