Don’t shoot the messenger here but Port board running with high profile Crows player had medical at Port.

That Carlton poster C4 who has connections at Port liked a post suggesting it could be Laird.

 

[Elite Crow]

C4 also posted a bit of upheaval at Port, Darren Cahill ran a motion to get rid of KT which was defeated.

More rumblings to follow.

Geoffa32 overheard someone on the bus saying Burton will be sacked after the review is complete

A bloke on my bus just said Burton leaving will be announced after the finalization of the review is made public. But has already been decided and he is effectively finished now.

Have no idea who this guys is. Just overheard him say it to his mate on the phone.

[FAITH]

Just spotted Birdman having a coffee with Aaron and Orazio down at Henley.

Boakey not far from them too.

Twitter rumours here

The reason Pods is on the selection panel instead of Burton? Because J-Pod is the new head of football.

 

[Scorpus]

Froggy has disputed the rumor claiming Orazio Fantasia was in Adelaide today

Orazio was not in Adelaide today according to my Sauce.

Rowe on AA running with Godden a chance to become our head coach...no F*cking way that should happen...NNOOOOO

 

[On The Crouch]

Have heard the following (source is reasonable but not 100%);

Grundy will definitely be at the Crows next year (I actually heard this and posted this several months ago as a done deal).
We are happy for one of Smith or Laird to go - provided we get a pick we can use for Grundy trade (top 10 - this is now in Brisbane's court).
We want Grundy and to keep our pick 3 for an elite mid.

Nothing like being ambitious!

CLUB vs FAMILY LOYALTY: GRUNDY’S DILEMMA

Collingwood captain Scott Pendlebury has thrown his full support behind Brodie Grundy’s move to strongly consider a return home to South Australia.

Grundy this week told the Herald Sun his decision was far from clear cut as he weighs up the chance to be closer to family in Adelaide.

Collingwood is trying to lock away the superstar ruckman, but it could take a whopping six or seven-year deal worth more than $1 million a season to keep him in Victoria.

The Brownlow Medal contender is a free agent at the end of next season, meaning the Pies would only receive one first-round draft pick as compensation, tied to their ladder position.

Pendlebury said Grundy was taking a “mature” approach to his contract dilemma.

“He is just being open. For him to say all this just means he’s been thinking about it for what, six months or a year?” Pendlebury said on the Jock and Journo podcast.

“And how has his form been this year? It’s probably the best year he’s had in the league. It’s not going to affect his form.

“People get so caught up whether it’s disloyal to the club. What if it’s disloyal to your family?

“Every player in the league would change clubs in a heartbeat if it would be better for your family.

“They’re so much more in it than you have just got to play for the club and you owe the club.”

Pendlebury also said he would also have no problems if Grundy was open and said he was leaving, before the end of the season.

Players are encouraged to keep their intentions secret, but there is support for more transparency in the player movement market

“Just say Brodie came out and said ‘boys this is my last few games’,” Pendlebury said.

“I’m not going to think ‘he won’t play hard for us this week’ because he will.”

SUNS REVEAL GRAND PLANS

Gold Coast wants Adelaide utility Hugh Greenwood to add a dynamic edge to its midfield next year.

The Suns are eyeing Greenwood and Richmond running machine Brandon Ellis to beef up their side for next season.

They are also monitoring Hawthorn’s Issac Smith, but the wingman is more likely now to stay at Waverley as part of a contract extension.

Hugh Greenwood blocks his ears while talking to Rory Sloane.
Four-year deals could land Greenwood and Ellis’s signatures, with the Tigers likely to receive a second-round free agency compensation pick in return for Ellis.

The Suns are trying to fight off strong interest from Hawthorn to land Greenwood for 2020.

Adelaide is reluctant to give Greenwood a long-term deal, almost certainly confirming his departure.
