Player Watch Jordan Dawson - Our New Captain!

[Mr_Moogle]

The hilarious thing here is they are holding onto the premiership dream next season. So they aren't even prepared to make the hard calls yet.

This is where we want them. High enough on the ladder to not have any draft currency, but still no threat of a premiership.

Congrats to the Crows on landing big fish Luke Parker Jeremy Cameron Dusty Martin Jared Polec Jacob Hopper Jordan Dawson!

In all seriousness though, this is really good. Instantly one of our Top 5 players, and in the right age bracket.

Top stuff.

Thankfully you didn't put Motlop on that list.....Dawson>Polec so we lead 1-0.

 

[pjcrows]

We won't have to move Pick 4. Dawson is uncontracted, and he's nominated his club. They get done.

This stuff doesn't usually happen to us so I can understand the confusion!

I bet we can still fu** this up

I like this a lot cos it is feasible.

We will win both showdowns next year. I'm calling it. Port will finish mid table. Be a great year.

You forgot Pendlebury .

But when examined deeper, ports list is in not the best shape and there is little to no room for immediate improvement.

Well now you see I just had a look at the Port board for their reaction, as you can guess it was a combination of the sensible “not actually a need for us atm” (very few) and the idiotic “why would you want to play for a franchise and never win a premiership?”

But then - THEN - there was our old friend Janus..the wise sage who knows all..listing ALL the Crows and Power players and who would still be around in three years time when the Crows might be contending, to PROVE to everyone that the Crows list is shite and Port already have a premiership winning list, and so there’s no option but for Dawson to join the world’s One And Only True Football Club (est 1266 BC)

Christ they have some feckin knobs over there

Using Port logic...

Have the Crows overtaken Port as the number one destination club in SA?

 

[Red mist]

This is way better than winning a flag.

Yeeeeah naaaaaah

 

[ABAB]

Who were those journos saying Port were in the box seat based on absolutely ******* nothing?

Leaked by those connected to Sydney as stated by Edmund, make sense now and similar IMO Balme was leaked by Richmond connection.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Yeeeeah naaaaaah

Pretty sure it was sarcasm.

Is this kid any good? I honestly don’t know much about him!

I thought Port were in the box seat based on absolutely nothing. But I'm not paid 6 figures for my football information.

You forgot Pendlebury .

Speaking of whom - McRae is at Collingwood for 5 minutes and makes them up the offer to Pendlebury to the two years he wanted, he accepts. Absolute right call imo and an early win for McRae. Pendlebury might be on the wane but with new coaches and given where they finished and need to regroup if not rebuild they absolutely need him on board and don’t need the distraction of pissing off a club legend. Good work

The Crows list has holes in it still. But with Dawson and other trades plus draftees, our holes will almost disappear by the end of the year. This is what Port don't get. Literally the depth is terrible after you pass the 24th man. There sanfl form proved it.

Giants were happy to let Hately go, massive difference

No, they were not happy to let him go and they tried to get him to stay. They were even less happy with us using the PSD, which did happen despite everyone saying it wouldn't because 'that's just not how it works'.

“He really enjoyed his time at the Giants, they’re a great club, but they’ve got a lot of good midfielders and it makes it hard to break in.”

Trotter said the Giants tried to convince Hately to stay by offering more game time, but it would’ve likely been in a role that is not best suited to his style of play.

“We knew there was a threat there of the pre-season draft ... we were honest with Adelaide right from the word go, he was a Pick 14 two years ago, we thought he was a pick in the 18 to 25 region and closer to 25 in all fairness,” he said.

“They weren’t willing to get anywhere near that deal, which was really disappointing considering some of the deals we’ve done with Adelaide over the last two years."

They picked port because of recent trades and preliminary. That's it. It was a shallow prediction.

Pick 23 plus Frampton sounds about right.

Get rid of Billy. Tippett revenge.

 

[Vader]

Offer them a 2nd rounder and Billy Frampton.

... and if they don't accept, he goes straight into the PSD.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

And Chris Davies.. I guess you won't find out how much better Dawson will be at Port compared to his old club.

It's OK guys, I'm sure the next Mayes/Watts/Motlop/Toumpas/McKenzie etc is just around the corner.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Assuming the deal happens, this is a huge get. Versatile zone-breaker

 

[Red mist]

The versatility and experience also helps guys like Worrell shift up a gear.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Surely we trade. We don't have the first pick in the PSD this year.
