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

[JennyTalia]

Matty Rendell nailed it in his Trade Radio review of the Crows, where he reckons Sloaney should play almost exclusively in the forward line next year. Takes a good grab, and would drive a standard for forward half pressure.

Yes all were good points until the idea that he'd kick 40 plus goals a year. I don't mind Rendell and can be accused of being overly optimistic at times, but that call made me scoff.

LOL, yeah that was a bit rich

Thats less than 2 goals per game. He absolutely as a small forward has that ability as he can take contested marks and will have the pressure game inside 50 + is a good set shot. I'dbe putting that to him as a key challenge next year to hit that 40 goal mark

 

[Scorpus]

Any rumors about us getting rid of Mick Godden and hiring a better SANFL coach? That would be nice

 

[GrommoT]

Or they could trade with us?

If RFC is interested in trading up and GC and us interested in trading down, it will depend on what GC and us are willing to offer but GC have the advantage of having the higher pick.

yeah he could, but it’s unlikely. When you think about under 2 goals a game it doesn’t sound like much, but how many forwards actually kick 40+ in a year? Not many

The issue isn't getting to 1.81 goals per game. It's the staying at 1.81 goals per game over 22 games.

With the exception of Betts it's a issue all of small and medium forwards have not been able to overcome.

Tom Lynch played a decade for us as a medium full time forward, he did it once

 

[Volbeat]

The tigers never made us an offer. It's complete BS

As a tertiary marking target behind Thilthorpe and Walker 25-30 goals would be a more practical aim. Heeney, Zurhaar, McCarthy, Tippa all managed over 30.

Whereabouts have you heard this?

Can't say... but it's my usual source if that means anything to anyone.

I don't doubt we are just going to use pick 4 on best available at the draft knowing that getting pick 1 is off the table

 

[Bearded Clam]

Cooney strikes again..



my god.. in what universe is a contracted coniglio is worth pick 27 and essentially valued the same as Ladhams!!!…

this is hilarious..

It's quite possible. Despite what Reid said yesterday, I'm told we're working on "multiple trades"... I don't know who or what that might look like or whether it's just pick swapping...

Commonsense says this is true .....RICH in a mini rebuild, they want two 1st round players with #7 and #15 .....for them it's qty

appreciate your comments

That also is a reasonable assumption, given we have two players in limbo, uncontracted ......most never come off

Have updated that trade now because the first version was stupid by a stupid person

Port couldn’t get Cogs with their cap problems anyway

I think it's unlikely he'll play more more than 15 games next year, so it's almost 3 goals per game!

Nice work...now keep digging.

and was paid to make up the stupidest trade I can think of for shits and giggles.

I've said it before, but I suspect we may well be trying to kick the can down the road in terms of the draft.

So splitting the pick would involve a future 1st, rather then 2 this year. Just getting that feeling we may have a relatively boring off-season when it's all said and done, and next off-season might be substantially more action

IMO Cogs value would drop because he hasn't played good footy for nearly 18 months .....plus his wage for clubs to carry, would have to be off-set by asking for a 2nd round pick

That's the universe where GWS have some serious buyers remorse for their monster Cognilio contract.

I'd almost wish that problem on Port considering they're fast entering no-mans-land, and adding that contract could tear them apart.

Nice work...now keep digging.

It aint easy with our wonderful club at the moment!
