Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

[Redline]

I wonder what Matt 'just throw in a second round pick on top of pick 5 to get it done' thinks?

 

[MarcusP2]

Not sure how to feel about giving up pick 5 for a player we only have on a 3 year deal

Yes we could have drafted an elite talent on a 2 year deal!

Has the article been removed from afc.com.au?

I'm glad it's not just me. I spent ages looking for it. Thought I'd gone bonkers.

 

[Runnin Blue]

The AFL must have told AFC to take it down so they can announce it first, lol.

So staged.

 

[LeftyLuke]

I am with you as I would have preferred it to be a long term deal and would love to know why it was only a 3 year deal

The only reason would be injury concerns why a long term deal would not be given imo.

If it is as reported:

Best case scenario (Crows first, Suns18th in 2023)

Pick 5, pick 54, pick 72

For Rankine, pick 45, pick 55


Worst case:

Pick 5, pick 36, pick 55

For Rankine, pick 45, pick 72

Overpaid. How is an uncontracted small forward basically holding their draft value?

Great signing but we should have paid less.

A midfielder/forward playing forward for the Suns.

A midfielder/forward that will play midfielder/forward for the Crows.

Fair.

Just reading the contracts thread… Milera signed until 2025 is awful

We’ve won this trade and anyone who thinks otherwise is blinded by bias.

Stick to soccer, Daniel.

"$850 for 5 is a lot of pressure in a fishbowl" according to David King, yesterday. Well done, David.

Overall Pick 5 is overs for an uncontracted Rankine, but I'm glad the deal is done.

 

[StonesThrow]

So weird that anyone (outside of GC) thinks he's worth more than pick 5.

$850 how can we trust that this is right when they said that Izak was offered 5 years

He has signed for 3 years, they got the contract term wrong, my guess is that they got the contract sum wrong as well

That's my point.

this just in..

Crows have their draft picks revoked for announcing trade too early. Scoop McClure with more soon

It's overs, but not so egregiously overs we need to burn down West Lakes.

And David King being wrong is never not funny.

So did we put it up on social media once the deal was done but the AFL have to stage manage it so we had to take the post down??

All this to allow the dimwits that make up the AFL media to announce the "scoop".

 

[UcantCme]

Look how strong the 2018 draft was, and many had him as the best player in that draft year

Yes he has been up and down but injuries to homesickness and playing a small forward role in a struggling team can be a graveyard position

What is encouraging is that he is heading to Adelaide wanting to play more midfield minutes, similar to a Shai Bolton type of role, this combination with Rachele has the potential to cause opposition headaches for years to come.

I'll rather pay pick 5 for Izak then what port will pay for JHF, or what Freo have paid for Luke Jackson

I wonder which talented player we'll land next year? Getting easy

 

[I Lost My Keays]

I can’t wait for him to light it up at Adelaide Oval. He’s going to be a menace for opponents next year.

 

[Anzacpaul]

Should I be nervous that the club has taken the story down?

AFL will veto the trade now for announcing it before Trade Radio....

 

[Jetafl]

The big question will he keep 22 Billys old number or maybe 18 Eddies old number?

Noice welcome Izzy
