News Izak Rankine, Gold coast holding Rankine to Ransom- #FreeIzak

[Scorpus]

Mod note:

Opposition posters making outlandish trade suggestions to bait the Crows board will be considered trolls and dealt with in the usual manner

No one wants a repeat of the Gibbs thread

 

[spenze]

Catch ya 5th PICK, draft this year will be less entertaining

Oooh, if you say it's gone then it's off the table for being traded then

 

[radiojake]

You trying to convince yourself? Rankine is worth more than pick 3, everyone outside this thread knows that.

and everyone knew Dangerfield was worth more than pick#9 but it doesn't always pan out like that, right?

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

They don't usually hand them out to 8 win teams

We're just too darn successful, that's our problem

McAsey and a second round pick sounds right then.

 

[ams4crows]

This is the sort of trade we should be looking at....

(From 2019) MELBOURNE has added some much-needed outside run by securing wingman Ed Langdon from Fremantle. The Demons handed over picks No. 22, 79 and a future second-round selection for the 23-year-old, while the Dockers gave up Langdon, pick No. 26 and a future fourth-round selection

They basically got a future AA for an early 2nd rounder.

We need to be targeting 21-24 year olds like Melb did with this trade. Of course it helps if a player wants to 'come home'.

I've been saying Perryman or Cumming would be right up this kind of alley

 

[Soggy2112]

I'm not going to argue with you as I don't know

But someone pointed out the value of C Cameron at pick 12

I mean that's pretty damn close for output and Charlie was contracted

CC was also contracted, didn’t have an injury history, and was a proven finals performer.

Cool story bro. No really, super interesting take.

[Crows I Am]

Great news, our forward line from 2023 onwards is going to be seriously entertaining. I feel as though Rankine will take his game to the next level playing in front of a packed Adelaide Oval every week instead of a half empty Metricon Stadium.

Now we just need to get the deal done without involving our pick 5 - 2023 first plus some sweeteners should hopefully get the deal done. Draft Tsatas or Phillipou this year and adding Rankine and that will be massive improvement to our list.

 

[relapse]

CC was also contracted, hadn’t done an ACL, and was a proven finals performer.

When did Rankine do an ACL?

He missed his first year with a torn hamstring, but I wasn't aware that he's had an ACL reconstruction.

[Schulzycrow]

Can we just take a moment to reflect on how exciting our round 1 FWD line will potentially look next year.

McAdam Walker Rankine
Rachele Fogarty Thilthorpe

Take my damn money.... I'm certainly buying that ticket all day long!

Just need a midfield that can hit a foot pass.

I think with Fog, TT, Rankine and Rachelle that we have arguably the best group of young forwards in the league

I just can't see us not giving up Pick 5 to get the deal done and I know we desperately need it to draft a mid, but I just can't see it happening.

 

[ams4crows]

Everyone knew Dangerfield was worth two firsts, but you don't always get fair value for players wanting to "go home" who are out of contract

 

[ABAB]

Just need a midfield that can hit a foot pass.

So use midfielders like Soligo, Taylor and Pedlar.

 

[Soggy2112]

When did Rankine do an ACL?

My bad, I knew he had missed all of 2019 and thought it was an ACL for some reason.

 

[StonesThrow]

So use midfielders like Soligo, Taylor and Pedlar.

Not sure Pedlar should be in that list.

Who is our fwd coach? That should seriously be hard for teams to mtachup.... then include macadam as 3rd tall..... that is a good setup!

 

[WeeBlake]

A cherry on top: hopefully, after Dawson and now Rankine, the dreaded Go Home Factor looms a little larger in recruiters’ minds, and we can get SA draftees a little cheaper than we did previously.

 

[ABAB]

Not sure Pedlar should be in that list.

Kicked very well over the weekend so the talent is there, think it's more to do with his lack of fitness he gets a bad rep.

I like him, but elite kicking is definitely not a feature of his game. Soligo and Taylor yes.

Worth more than Dangerfield? Cameron? Cerra?

[Jarman3]

I'm still pissed at Gold Coast over the Jarryd Lyons deal and want to take them to the cleaners here to make up for it

That was our own doing, though. Lyons was out of contract and we basically pushed him out the door with a lowball contract offer. By doing so (not to mention playing him as the sub pretty much every week) we devalued our own player - why would they pay more for an uncontracted player that we clearly couldn't be much more eager to get rid of? We shot ourselves in the foot with both barrels on that one. Similar to the Keath and Greenwood trades - when you've made it obvious that you don't want to keep the player, you do not give yourself a strong bargaining position.

If you ever want to get rich quick, try to get yourself into a poker game with our list management team...
