15 minutes of that was waiting for an Uber after his wheels were stolen during the tour.

or when he came out of the tour, he found the hire car on fire

I hope he revolts at the homework of learning the creed and NTUA lyrics.

And the hub caps missing...

 

[cleanhands]

apparently one of the questions he was asked on his tour down port way is 'can you climb?'

Tarp phobia hopefully

I have so say there’s a lot of fuss about a lad who sure had a decent season, but not like an AA season or even the squad. Course he’ll be a handy pick up for the crows who are still a bit light on.

For Port though he’s not going to fix the problems I saw on Saturday night. If Port had him in their team he wouldn’t have made a lick of difference. Much in the same way if Bailey Dale missed the game, it still wouldn’t have made a lick of difference to the result. That’s no slight on Dale whose a very good player.

He’s 3rd in the Swans medal - Keays was runner up in the Crows but people want to trade him ha ha. Fine to get him but he’s not a difference maker, you find those mostly in the top 10 of the draft. The Crows pick at 4 at rhe draft WILL be the most important acquisition of the off season.

He doesn't have to be the difference maker for this to a highly important acquisition for us.

Our consistent ability to attract and recruit highly talented young players of his ilk is central to us becoming a powerful club again. It's way more important than our capacity to fluke one off gun recruits every now on then. The recruitment of Dawson is as much about what it represents in terms of our broader redux as a club, as it is about the difference he as one player makes to our list.

they did catch the guy though

 

[pjcrows]

Where's the poll?

My tip is Port.

 

[Anzacpaul]

If it comes down to the impressions of the club, i'd back Nicks over Ken to deliver a better message.

Obviously won’t be a good fit at Port. He shows up.

 

[Coopers]

This one?

EXTREME INTEREST!

Exxxxtreeeeeeeemeeeee!

We're done folks.

In other news I had a "commercial intensity" meeting today where all 5 of us stared at spreadsheets with some pretty serious scowling going on.

 

[George Kramer]

Thank **** they got thumped and aren’t playing in a Gf, the vibe would be completely different. Harder to sell your a contender after that performance and history of losing home finals with an ageing list

That's actually a really good call. Imaging the hype around there atm if they were leading into the GF. Would be hard not to get caught up in that.

 

[Trigger13]

LOL, bit sensitive there, meant Trigger13

Haha, trolling? I was merely commenting on what the media narrative was. And, boy, I hope they are all wrong. It feels like we are very good shot at him now. Let’s hope so.

I think I must have seen you guys in a few stock images over the years.

 

[GetInMyVanBerlo]

If Dawson had a medical with us yesterday, surely 90 minutes wouldn't have been long enough to have one at Port as well? Could be a good sign?

Agree with you.
But additionally... If Dawson joins us, there is then an important precedent made to build upon with other trades into the Crows. Especially for any "homeward bound" lads like Luko or Rankine.
Our pick 4 is important, but don't underestimate the possible benefits of landing a player like Dawson.

 

[kirky]

If we get Dawson it'll probably involve pick 4

Better off suggesting pick 1 2022, more than likely to be greater than pick 4 but less than Port’s pick 16.

That's got nothing on the crazy horse last night.

There has been suggestion of splitting our pick 4 (more like pick 6 after Daicos / Darcy) into 2 later picks. Would turning it into, say, Dawson and Sydney's first pick (12, so likely 14+) be roughly equivalent if Dawson is considered to be worth a 1st round pick himself?
