Rumour Tales from the Henley Beach Cafe: CROWS 2021 RUMOURS

[Betts are off]

There has been zero talk in the media of Seedsman leaving, unless I've missed it.

Normally by now there are murmurs if someone is leaving. Contracted for next year.

Normally by now its AFL grand final weekend. There is still a mammoth amount of time for all the murmurs to eek their way out

I think he’ll get another crack at it. He has the tools for Nick’s gameplan...runs and can tackle. And when he’s on mojo his disposal is quality

We got Band 3 for CEY going to Bris last year for a 4 year (or was it 3+1 trigger). Can't find how much CEY might be on but maybe not more than the $400K RAT might be getting so would be interesting to see how the ∀FL justify not giving a Band 3 compo for RAT (if they did).

We got a 3rd rd pick, band 5 for CEY

"Can tackle"? I must have turned away that time he did that.

Look up his tackle and pressure numbers. Nothing wrong with them

 

[Crow till I die]

Every day a couple of new SEN wacks at us from the 5 minute hairdresser or whatever the hell he was...but NOTHING about Watts. Not one comment from the little grub

Victorian club makes recruitment of Taranto "number one" priority

“He’s the one who they’ve got their eyes on.”

Don't see it happening. But if St Kilda somehow pry Taranto from GWS, will definitely make it harder for us to get Hately.

Might as well fold up the Giants if that happens

if there is any truth to it, then the giants need to just put up a demand for Rowan Marshall (GWS badly badly need an established ruck as Briggs and the other youngster they have are not ready) and St Kilda 1st round pick this year as a minimum or GTFO

Knowing them they'll go the much older Ryder.

 

[SuperBashBros]

Yeah Saints can make Taranto their number 1 target all they like....it aint happening with 2 years left to run at GWS.

He loves the place too. Very strange this came out, presumably from Saints camp.

If they want a big bodied mid to help out Steele then I can think of one available.

My misread - round 3 <--> band 3

With Band 4 being almost the same as Band 5 for us this year, RAT should at least get us a pick around 39 (depending on other compos).

No it doesn't

Hately is out of contract and we have the number 1 pick in the PSD, they either accept a moderate deal or he'll walk to us for free.

The fact that we finished bottom puts the Giants in the worst possible position with this and what also hurts them is that Hately hasn't exactly set the world on fire thus far so his value is low.

We'll most probably give them Pick 20 in a take it or leave it scenario.

I wouldn't even give them that, they'll take it in a heartbeat.

Thats assuming Hately wants to come here. I'll believe it when he comes out and says he want go to the crows

 

[WeedsMullet84]

More picks for Borlase and potentially Edwards can't hurt. Especially if it allows us to move an extra pick this year to a side that needs points for an Academy/FS pick for a pick next year.

Yep, Band 4/5 is much of a muchness for us.

They’ll chew their own arm off for that deal...

I doubt we'd even go that high. I reckon at most it will be our Bulldogs 2nd +/- a later pick. Could even be a 3rd rounder that we offer. 1st round picks are like new cars, lose significant value early, especially if not getting regular game time, then you throw in the fact we have 1st pick in the PSD and I think we'll be playing hard ball. I don't think he's the type of player that the Adelaide recruiting staff would lose a heap of sleep over if they did miss out on him.

With Band 4 being almost the same as Band 3 for us this year, RAT should at least get us a pick around 39 (depending on other compos).

Band 3 would after our first 2nd round pick (current 20) and Band 4 is end of 2nd round pick, so they would be quite far apart.

First 22, comes home on better coin than he'd get there.

Yeah he'll come

Geeze... I'm having a good day so far - I meant Band 5

List clogger. Need to do a Jenkins style trade with someone.

Trade to Melbourne for a 3rd rounder

 

[jackster83]

Trade to Melbourne for a 3rd rounder

Or Tom Sparrow (with a late pick also going their way).
