Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II - Welcome to Adelaide

[Crow till I die]

Ahh the jokes about Batman being a superhero are like his parents...

They never get old

What do batman and a port supporter have in common?

They never go anywhere without robbin

 

[cm_perfect]

It’s better now than it used to be!

Buzzed through there yesterday, still a bit of a rush but nothing like the Wild West it once was!!

 

[Slippery Pete]

Also, while we’re at #FreeIzak , how about #free Sanders ?

Red Mist to play The Riddler

The Joker or Bozo the clown is more fitting.

Also, while we’re at #FreeIzak , how about #free Sanders ?

Yes! Jesus, how long's it gonna go on for?

There're too many dickheads getting away with being dickheads.

 

[latinoheat]

So will we end up paying more for Rankine than Freo will for Jackson?

 

[LeftyLuke]

So will we end up paying more for Rankine than Freo will for Jackson?

Reid's plan is to hopefully take him to the PSD. I like his strategy of offering pick 5 knowing GC are too dumb to accept it. Then when we take him to the PSD no one can say that we didn't offer them a good deal. If we get Rankine for nothing he will go close to redeeming himself for the Gibbs trade.

It’s better now than it used to be!

The roundabout, or watching learner drivers?

 

[1970crow]

Got it … list manager before head of football at crows reckon he was doing both at one point

We didn’t have a gm of footy until he took the role. There was an ongoing excuse for his LM outcomes that he was “wearing a lot of hats”. He and Trigg acted as a pseudo GM of footy whilst undertaking their listed roles.

 

[FR0GGY]

It’s better now than it used to be!

Would have been better with one massive round about imo

 

[beartoo]

F**k me, that would be smart as f**k on their part.

The Suns AFL would give that to them too.

Geelong probably want 5 and 7 with Bowes.

No idea why Geelong gave way their 2nd next year as it means they can't use next year's first in either of the deals with gold coast or Collingwood, almost if they deliberately gave it away so no one could ask for the first

Forcing Gold Coast to accept a future 3rd for 7 and Bowes and pick 25 for Henry which is insulting to be fair

Na this is on GC. Should've never opened their mouth about giving up 7

 

[dylan123]

GC are basically a Geelong feeder club. They gave them a mid 20s pick the other year for nothing too.

 

[conVINCEd]

GC are basically a Geelong feeder club. They gave them a mid 20s pick the other year for nothing too.

Suns gave Geelong pick 11 in return for pick 27 a couple years back.

 

[Crow-eater]

3rd times the charm?

 

[SugarShane]

3rd times the charm?

They've got a 33% chance of being right I guess.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

3rd times the charm?

I'm not worried as the deal will get done.

Whether it's tomorrow, Tuesday or Wednesday... won't really matter in the end.

It’s exactly why they’ve done it.
They did it to us with danger.
Something we should have done with GC, trade away the pick they want to box them in.

has been left feeling betrayed by a club he has loved deeply and never wanted to leave.
It’s understood Bowes has been left frustrated by a saga he feels the club created and put him on a course to joining Geelong via a trade that will also include the Suns giving away their pick 7.

In return the Cats will take on the $1.6m Bowes is owed over the next two years and give up a future pick.

Bowes signed a five-year extension in 2019.

When Gold Coast figures approached him a couple of years into the deal and asked him to sign an alteration that would significantly reduce his annual earnings in order to back-end the deal, Bowes agreed.

He loves the club.

His parents had moved from Cairns to be on the Gold Coast, with his father Wayne and mother Collette playing a huge role in creating a support network for players and families at the club while Bowes’ grandmother has frequently hosted young draftees in their early years at the Suns.

Bowes believed he would be part of the first Suns side to play in a potential premiership.

He bought a house in Queensland, his partner is from the state and what has unfolded is something he never visualised would happen.

His trust was broken. By doing the right thing by the club in order to help its cause put him in a position where Gold Coast have looked to offload him.
Bowes was holidaying in Bali when he saw some media reports labelling him a ‘wantaway Sun’. It irked him.

A player who captained the Allies under-18 side was once touted as a potential No. 1 draft pick. He slid to 10 because of his Academy links that gave Gold Coast first crack and was having leadership meetings with Hawthorn great Luke Hodge.

He was seen as captain material. The likes of former Suns assistant Dean Solomon

It's as if we wipe away all memory of everything at the close of trading each year whilst living in fear of everyone else remembering every God damn thing we do.
