not on the table anymore with the Dogs pulling out of any interest in fevola.
Has he really though? Or is it a case of the media just drawing the obvious, but not necessarily correct conclusion from a couple of statements made from Rodney Eade. From reading the articles, all Rodney Eade has done is stated that the Bulldogs are still committed to Barry Hall, there was nothing there to say that the Bulldogs, unlikely as it may be, wouldn't chase both players. Now as the media become more and more involved with football, clubs are becoming more and more media savvy and most watch what they say really carefully.
Spin, I believe they call it, its quite as simple as answering a simple question ie "Will you be chasing Brendan Fevola?", with " Ahhh, look, where committed to Barry Hall now and this new development hasn't changed our thinking in that respect..." Now Eade may have said a more direct no to Fev at the interview, but that hasn't been quoted, they've quoted Eade as saying yes to Barry Hall, one doesn't necessarily exclude the other.
Knights, Douglas 'very happy' in Crows colours

Doesn't count it out COMPLETELY but as most of us expected it doesn't look like we'll be too active this trade week.

Is it just me, or is that link completely irrelevant?
At last... there is some real news about Knights on this thread
no Knights contract announced tonight?
but Reilly is now off the trade table

I don't think he's out of contract (I think it expires next year?), and as good as he is (I'm sure the GC would love to have him), I can't see him leaving us for the GC.
1. If he wanted to leave the Crows, he'd go back to Vic, not up to the GC I'd bet.
2. If the GC can't convince a local to come back (KT woot!!
) what chance have they got for a Victorian like Knighta?So I don't reckon the club would consider him in great danger of being poached by the GC at the end of next year, so there is little point in prematurely signing him to a new contract.
(All this is based on my possibly incorrect memory of Knighta's contract, so I stand to be corrected)
Yep he has 1 year to go

Hmmm, Reilly re-signed ...
Better luck next time w***er
relax. Reilly remains a ho hum player, if we got something for him who could really complain too much.
it makes no sense to either the club or Knights to extend his contract now
lets wait until the end of next year once some of the senior players have retired and the club knows exactly wha they can put on the table for Knighta

Hardly any contracts at our club are extended before we enter the final year of them, Tippett being the exception this year.
Hopefully we see him re-signed at about June next year, here's hoping.

Mmmmmm....looks like the inside source was way off here......
JR was on 5AA this arvo and quashed the Knights/Douglas go home rumours. He basically said it was bullshit that someone in Melbourne had started and as rumours do at this time of the year, grew legs.
And even the final debunking/denial of the rumour gives it credibility, to some in the media. "No, we're not trading Chris Knights" = Ah yes, but you thought about it, didn't you?
First you report the rumour, then you report that it didn't happen. The fact that it was a complete fiction in the first place just gets quietly left out.
Well after spruiking Chris wasnt going anywhere, i became a little gun shy after knowing one AFL club was going very hard for him.they were willing to trade an All Australian for him, Adelaide were having none of it. i am glad he is still a crow.PHEW

So basically, Collingwood came to us and asked for Knights and a pick for Leon Davis? He's the only AA I can think of that isn't a 'required player'... well aside from Fevola anyway.
Thats what I read into that comment as well, no way was a trade like that ever going to happen.
