News 2019 Rumour File - discuss rumours here!

[Shaz2012]

Our Crouches come in pairs
So pick 1 & 2 thanks
Welcome to the AFC Rowell and Anderson

I’d do that. We’d also get pick 1 and 19 next year, a couple more top 5 picks in each of the two years after that. And we would be forced to actually develop these talented kids on our list.

Hamish could do some serious damage with all those higher 2nd and 3rd rounders too.

 

[Samcro24]

So leaves us with pick 4.

Trade for Carey then.

 

[Samcro24]

Ever seen Brad tear a game open and win it off his back? Yeah me neither

Did you mean to quote yourself, or did you login with the wrong account?

So. With all theses rumours circulating re our football club, my question is
will the AFC be able to field a serviceable team in 2020?
You guys all seem to be very knowledgeable about what is going on.
Or can we just put I’d down to journos trying to sell papers or managers trying to extract the best coin fir their players?

WE have an outstanding list don't by so cynical with the right coach and burton gone, make sure you pay for a gold membership as you will need it to get the GF ticket

 

[robboaustralia]

I'd take 2 or 3 of these guys on our list over the choir boy mentality we've had going for the past decade.

2017 we had a bit of agro and hard edge but for some reason we lost all capabilities to show that for the next two years.

 

[robboaustralia]

Eddie sounded like someone who's on the way out.

I think the Crows broke him. He was so happy now seems so sad.

Who Broke him Pyke?????

wait no sorry all blame must go to Burton

 

[70lethal]

Premierships have been built by trading with GC.
You don't send your A graders there thou.

Greenwood and CEY are mates and would be ideal with Rowell and Anderson.
Add Knights.

Pick 14 and a few pick swaps next year.

 

[SellarStardom]

We thought the midfield was bad this year, if these trades happen lookout, bottom 3 next year. That pick 3 will be important in the rebuild

Listen, I consider myself a sensitive new age guy and all that, but this sounds like we are talking about a child!

 

[hey shorty]

He gets votes because he gets a lot of it. But doesn’t kick goals, and is not that damaging for sheer numbers he produces. I’m not saying he is a bad player. He’s good. But he’s not an A grader.

So you're saying the coaches have no idea ?? I'll give you the Brownlow but not the Coaches award.

I think this storyline about Eddie' happiness is bit of a front

Eddie's wife has struggled to be away from her family even more so after the arrival of their twins

Also despite Eddie's playung success at AFC he has always had navy blue blood running through his viens

Moving back to Melb ticks two big boxes for Eddie

1. His wife and kids are back close to her family

2. He ends his career with the club it all started with, bir if footy romance for him

But shouldn't we follow Geelong's line and send him to the draft?

Don't need to he is contracted

 

[Tex Danger]

Also he said GC will get the pick 2 and be looking to immediately extend Rowell and Anderson to 4 years. So I take that as if Brad goes, pick 2 won't be part of the deal.

Luko

Or we hold him a year and he goes as a FA and they get crouch compo for Luko

Same-same for us

 

[Jcpdragonx]

Send 6 players to GC for luko pick 1 and 2

The above makes a lot of sense. Happy to let Ed go. 33 next year, and we'll always have the knowledge that we got the best out of Eddie Betts... 3 time leading club scorer + 3 All-Australian nods. Carlton's pick 39 should do it.

If your talking achievements maybe someone will give up a first rounder for G ablett at the end of the year

 

[Danger in Texas]

Funnily enough, I had a dream last night that Brad was traded for a top 3 pick (to Melbourne, though)

I also dreamt that Elliot Yeo requested a trade to us though, so probably not a sign

 

[Crow till I die]

Top 20? He was in the top dozen for most of the year until tiring at the end. A performance matched in the Brownlow

I was just going from the coaches awards website where you can see the votes and leaderboard round by round but your point stands he was rated very highly

Serviceable is possible if we get some decent coaches who back in the younger guys. We are entering a rebuild phase though so I wouldn't be expecting finals.

Journo's are often full of shit but I would expect a fair bit of player movement at Adelaide this year. If this review turns out to be a sham, as I fear it will, it could be a pretty massive exodus.

Sorry, but you are wrong

 

[dogs105]

Hamish broke him...

 

[marty36]

Hamish broke him...

well someone individual did obviously

Maybe the guy that runs the place Fagan, he seems to escape a lot considering he is the man in charge
