Rumour Tales from the Henley Beach Cafe 2: Crows 2021 Rumours

[hey shorty]

Knowing the Crows, we will botch this and get the deal done with the Tigers before the Dawson trade.

Nothing could be more certain, except a Power Failure in a Prelim.

We do usually do the pick trading thing pretty well.

 

[hey shorty]

I couldn't think of a player we need less than a Wanganeen Milera at the moment. Maybe a key defender.

Really, we aren't in need of a quantity of youth and we can fill out holes later on in the draft, especially as small forward/rucks aren't taken early (usually). It's a year where you grab the best prospect that you can retain and fits your system early for us.

I mean he's a fantastic kick, you can't have too many of those

 

[hey shorty]

Midfielders are our first and second most critical need, without question.

Probably third and fourth as well.

Good small forwards would be 3rd and 4th

 

[FR0GGY]

I only want Coniglio if he brings his little wooden/glass statue with him.

Cogs is the steak knives in the trade.

 

[FR0GGY]

It would make a lot of sense.. 7 and 15 would be a hell of a lot more valuable to the crows with their current list whilst pick 4 would get the tigers a hit at Hobbs or callaghan which would be very valuable to theirs..

If the swans got even the tiniest of sniffs that this is a trade that is on the table between tigers and crows they’ll instantly hold out to the very last possible moment with the dawson trade with the thought of that pick 15 in mind..

Reid today emphatically ruling out trading down pick 4 couldve just been a massive smokescreen…

Gezz, I love trade time.. the intrigue/mind games/plots are fun to speculate over..

do they mean 9 & 17?

Oh…shame you haven’t seen him play.

 

[GROTTO]

Even if we have an agreement to possibly do that trade with RFC, they'd want that to occur on draft night as, say they're after Callaghan or Hobbs, they'd want to wait until it's our pick at 4* and their player is there before they pull the trigger.


*subject to bids

If they waited that long, then the price of Pick 4, surely would have to rise?

 

[1970crow]

39 games into the rebuild? I thought the club previously tried to fool us into thinking 2018 and 2019 were rebuild years

that's not what was said, I, not sure why the lie continues to be perpetuated.

 

[dude316]

Ive missed FULL LINDY I know she came on 5AA, but I cannot remember the story.

I remember the lols on here though.

I think she rang 5aa and went nuts about us firing Sanderson.

 

[1970crow]

Reid was backtracking saying the half way through a rebuild comment was incorrect...

whatbhe said was perfectly fine. He said that rebuilds normally require 4 years of going to the draft and that we'd been t9 the draft in 18 and 19, so have 2 years of drafting under the belt. He never said we were half way through the rebuild.

 

[FR0GGY]

I think she rang 5aa and went nuts about us during Sanderson.

She still rings occasionally, hasn’t melted quite the same way again.

 

[spenze]

Could it be Toby?

Could you imagine Toby and Ned on the HFFs

 

[GrommoT]

If they waited that long, then the price of Pick 4, surely would have to rise?

I suppose the wheeling-dealing could continue all the way up to our pick but remember they only have about 5mins to agree and put the deal in to AFL we it's our pick.

Of course, they might also have a possible deal nutted out with GC.

I presume the fine details may have been discussed beforehand? Not just on draft night?

So that a complicated deal with just 5 mins to go has already been thought about beforehand?

If Callaghan is there at 3 I expect Gold Coast to trade out with Richmond and not us.

 

[GrommoT]

Yeah, would think so - any interested parties would have been in discussions beforehand.

Doubt any club would come in cold with a panic offer at the last minute but could be profitable for us if it did.

 

[GROTTO]

Yeah, would think so - any interested parties would have been in discussions beforehand.

Doubt any club would come in cold with a panic offer at the last minute but could be profitable for us if it did.

If its last minute, the only way the deal would get over the line is if it is overs and all likelihood the player we want will be there later with our next pick.

 

[GrommoT]

If Callaghan is there at 3 I expect Gold Coast to trade out with Richmond and not us.

Yep, presumably all interested parties would have discussed and made their offers before the draft.

 

[GrommoT]

If its last minute, the only way the deal would get over the line is if it is overs and all likelihood the player we want will be there later with our next pick.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking - would be rash of the other club but probably unlikely now that SOS is not in the game anymore

Still, something like that could put clubs like RFC's noses out of joint and not forgotten.

 

[Thetrader15]

If Callaghan is there at 3 I expect Gold Coast to trade out with Richmond and not us.

To what though? They have already a full list of contracted ayer, they only need 1 pick this year and something for 2022.

 

[WetCrow1991]

While we're reminiscing, does anyone know what has happened to mistylake? He was posting from Indonesia, but zip lately. Have the Mullahs disabled his BF account due to politically-incorrect posting?

Are they this user:



Given that user name is a direct translation of Mistylake in Indonesian.

 

[tinman]

To what though? They have already a full list of contracted ayer, they only need 1 pick this year and something for 2022.

They are looking to trade out a couple of contracted players, any other picks they will look to push into 2022.

So yeah, if you are them and only making 2-3 picks, and they have 19, why wouldn’t you use them?

More 2021 picks are useless to them. I reckon that they are a Monty to trade out 19 on the night for a pick next year, that’s almost a certainty.

Pretty sure the AFL has banned them to trade pick 19, they must use it this draft.

 

[Sanders]

no. They can do with it what they like. No strings attached

 

[texanmike]

no. They can do with it what they like. No strings attached

ah think i was reading an article from last trade period. cheers.
