Apparently, Collingwood tried to stitch him up prior to the Crows getting him (which was on the back of Tex contacting us), and he refused because he didn't want to go anywhere but Adelaide.

With all due respect, that is rubbish. We did look at him years ago and from what I was told the contact was made by his management but he was deemed a bit loose at the time. I wish we got him.
 
Im a power member but I will tell you Kurts issue is the media crap he has had to put up with over here....he got on the flight out of here on Sunday thinking how good it was to be out of the place...forget this homesick crap...its a bit like saying " Its not you ..its me"...it is the Adelaide media turning the poor guys life to crap..

I've heard a pretty similar thing to King Elvis. He was a pretty big Crows fan, he is from Broken Hill after all. Maybe we did make contact with him and decide he was a bit loose, but I reckon he would have always preferred the Crows if given the opportunity. It's for this reason that I never put any weight into the Walker to GWS rumours (although I dared to hope when it was rumoured he'd come to the Swans!).

Im guessing you heard it from social media, the Crows or bust argument that is but he wasn't in a position to be that choosey at the time.

Seems to speculation in the rumour mill about a $6 mil deal over 5 years at Carlton, but all rumours at this stage.

Wow. To go with Judd as well..... I think that's mismanagement to a degree. I wouldn't even want 1 player on that type of money. Some of the players in the bottom half of the list start to get squeezed out or some of the younger players can't get the type of payrise they're entitled to. Might slip it in there that i'd love Tom Bell. :D

We don't poach, we revive careers. We don't offer Judd 1mil and then Cloke 1mil like Carlton. .

Welcome to 2012 and a brave new world. Goiddard to Essendon has seen the poaching war begin and dont think clubs will not size up our players if they can because they will and it will start with Goodes at the end of next season. It would be remiss of us not test the water on a quality player.


This is not a free agency but nor was Mitch Clark. Worth a look but the crows will make us extract a heavy toll, no no one is going to let the premiers not pay premium price for a premium trade.
