Rumour Gunston requesting trade

[Lawrst]

You're surely joking aren't you?

And can a Crows supporter explain to me why Gunston is being linked to us? Hardly the type of player we require. Very talented, but we need a big key forward. Gunston is more of a lead up forward.

Yea it was slightly tounge in cheek.

Plus I dont think Gunston will suit you guys either.

But Gibbs suits us

Unfortunately we need a good forward as well. I know it's still early days and we had a crap year but our other forwards have not yet set the world on fire. Another fine forward would not go amiss.

An effective forwardline starts with good delivery from the midfield. Something we have most certainly not had this year.

 

[King Elvis]

Not sure about Gunston being a third tall forever - he's spoken of wanting to put on ~8kgs of muscle...

 

[Johnny Rutten]

Rucci just said on 5AA that Gunston is definitely gone. And, it will involve a team from Melbourne with 'stripes'.

 

[madstar]

Still believe it is Geelong with Andrew Mackie as the trade. Would fit in with the stripes theme.

We finally get someone that wants to actually lead and we probably lose him.
This is crap he showed more promise than anyone in team incl. dangers, talia walkers etc .
If Crows don't somehow hold him or get something remarkable for him then i am at a loss like Carl etc where this club is going .

How did we get where we are and who is to blame sure Craigy carries a lot but others are responsible for what is happening.
Our excuse in not wanting Riolli was doubt about commitment then we draft two 1 and 2nd end draft picks and they are gone after 2 years yet the disaster that is Power keeps their talented kids .
I think that even need to look at over rated Rendell as what have we left .
All we can brag about is re signing bloody Rielly PLEASE HELP BELIEVE SOMEONE KNOWS WHAT THEY ARE DOING THERE

So I am assuming the AFL is going to investigate a club talking contracts with a player before the season is over? A clear breach of the rules? I won't hold my breath.

Gunston can go to hell as far as I am concerned, this homesickness bullshit story is just that.

Was hoping for Menzel, but after last night no thanks

 

[Lawrst]

Well the geelong deal would be screwed.

sure, lets trade for a bloke with an ACL.

 

[adelcrows]

Poor Bloke, he would have been a big part of them going all the way..

I reckon they play a similar role to be honest, Geelong wouldn't have swapped, why would they unless Menzel wanted to go home?? Now they may make a play for \gunston though, they just lost their similar player...

The plot thickens.

He later said not hoops. That narrows it to Collingwood, Hawthorn and North?

What about a diagonal stripe? </3

If a deal is going through this expediently, then you can pretty much guarantee that the Crows are getting a satisfactory deal.

 

[hendo8888]

I'd be more than happy with Menzel for Gunston.
Sure he's injured now, but wait a year and he has all the tools to be an absolute gun.
How is it different to say trading him for a first/second round pick? Whoever we get will probably take a year of development before they show much anyway.
Mackie wouldn't be too bad anyway.

 

[Mego Red]

Rucci just said he was hearing Hawthorn and North were persuing Gunston.

Hard to see what we'd want from there.

North has some midfielders, I guess, plus their first rounder. Hawthorn has Ellis? Young? Sheesh, some mediocre pickings.

 

[Mad Fan of AFL]

I know the love for Mackie..but he is what 27? I hope for someone a few years younger.

 

[Elite Crow]

According to Rucc, we put an offer to Gunston they countered. We met on Thursday with the belief of giving them our new offer to be told he was homesick. Still think we were being unkind last night?

 

[Jetwa5h]

Jordan Lewis ?

 

[Truck Rutten]

Great post. Sums our plight fairly well. "Strong club, great culture" - , what a joke. We have a become a Richmond like rabble who is lead by average people with zero accountability.

Chris isn't out former marketing guy doing a great job with contracts since he was transferred into the football department.

Come on mate, Phil came from inside the organisation so he must be great. Heaven forbid we consider an outsider in the quest to appoint the best possible person.

 

[WAG]

Jordan Lewis ?

Why would he want to come to Adelaide?

 

[Geoffa32]

I was thinking a trade for Menzel till last night.

 

[betterthanu]

At least we get Porps back next year.........hopefully for more than 10 minutes. Gunner was playing his role really

 

[srv23]

Jordan Lewis ?

Not going to get him but Isaac Smith would be nice from the Hawks. Puopolo maybe?

Still can't see why anyone would leave Hawthorn to come to us.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

Smith is absolutely no chance of coming, Pupolo is a possibility but he wouldnt want to leave.

Please not Mackie, another soft footballer who just looks good because of the team he is in. Weve got enough of his type
