[Scorpus]

Keep up to date with the latest Crows rumors in our summary thread: Rumour - Rumours Thread for Rumors Only

If you post a new rumor here, let me know and I'll copy it over

 

[George Kramer]

Who was that Bulldogs ruckman Rucci said we were interested in, Sweet? Well Dillon said today we have no interest. Does Rucci get anything right?

 

[Crow till I die]

you watch ******* Geelong get Bowes AND Pick 7...

 

[50BC]

says who, there's nothing anywhere I've been able to find that says that.

also, a Herald Sun article from an hour ago talks about the ongoing negotiations with Rankine. I'm not giving them a cent, so does anyone know if it says anything worthwhile?

It says current discussions are supposedly around pick 5 and future 3rd for Rankine.

It says current discussions are supposedly around pick 5 and future 3rd for Rankine.

What does that mean? Surely, that is the initial "demand" from GCS, not our initial offer?

 

[GROTTO]

Wasn’t the same when he left

Axle character was really something.

The Premiers with a heap of stars, have cap space for a salary dump, yeah right

The story says that's where negotiations are settling at

Surprised they didnt get Grundy while they are at.

I bet officially Danger is paid well well under what he is worth along with a host of under players. Funny how Danger's parents are probably doing really well now since he returned to Victoria.

Such a scam.

honestly, I hope it happens and there's so much public outcry that it comes out that they're cheating the cap

 

[Crow till I die]

you watch..they will do the deal and then within weeks will be back at AFL house to renegotiate it down to to a 4 year deal at much less coin per year..in other words, they will get pick 7 for free

Think on this too, in the last few years, they would have given GC pick 27 and in return got picks 7, 11 & Bowes

 

[Crows I Am]

He also said that the Poulter move is not on the cards. Apparently Rankine will be the only player we bring in this year.

Realistically the AFL should say ‘No’ to Geelong, Bowes and GC in this situation.

Already going to be bringing in Tanner Bruhn (former Pick 12) and Ollie Henry (Former Pick 17). Adding Jack Bowes (Former Pick 10), whilst adding Pick 7 to the equation (which conveniently would probably help them in actually attaining Bruhn & Henry), will make a complete farce of trade system, salary cap, Gold Coast etc. Constantly bringing in ready-made players whilst barely developing their own just makes a mockery of the whole club system. It completely takes the risk out of drafting kids for Geelong.

Gold Coast already have form for gifting Geelong a high draft pick in a pick swap (GC pick 27 for Geelong Pick 11 a few years back) that absolutely should NOT have been approved by the AFL at the time, but because it was GC it was given the green light.

The article about the ‘changing landscape’ of salary caps and the AFL being open to more lopsided picks for clubs taking on salary was purely directed at Gold Coast.

Watch it happen again with GC and Geelong, all the AFL were doing was telling other clubs they were going to eat a sh!t sandwich in a few weeks, as opposed to plonking it right in front of them, then and there.

[Sanders]

What you don't account for is he made us decide time and time again.

He did not. He did SfA wrong

We had already made a decision that he had talent when we traded for him. We decided he was worth the trouble after his drink driving indiscretion in April 2020. We decided he as worth the baggage when we extended him for 2 years in mid 2020. We decided he was worth the trouble after him and Crouch got caught with coke by the police and suspended by the AFl.

Our club has made that many errors its not even funny. I just don't understand why people chase the errors that don't exist.

Because this was a huge error, one of the worst.

Sam Edmund lauded Scott's 'better than 50%' win record.

103-102.

106/105 per Tom Browne

Imagine claiming that was a better than 50% record

It’s their offer so we can negotiate them down to just pick 5

Our list is stacked

They’re dangling pick 7 but they’re not just giving it away, I’d imagine they’d still want a mid to late first rounder back.

That makes it "no deal" for me.

 

[Gtowncrow]

The Premiers with a heap of stars, have cap space for a salary dump, yeah right

Retirements aplenty looming.
Salary dump is doable methinks.

 

[Draft Bored]

I've made a conscious decision to ignore all the absolute rubbish that comes from trade radio. I refuse to listen to the Victorian BS.

So if someone can do it for me and keep me updated, I would greatly appreciate it

Can we give some members who plan to listen to trade radio religiously permission to post in the trade rumours (no discussion) thread?

If they could keep us updated and save us all the torture of trade radio I would be grateful.

 

[LeftyLuke]

I miss this guy on Billions. Those first few seasons, rocked.

The latest season starts off slow but gets better as it goes along. The show isn't the same without Bobby Axelrod though.

 

[LeftyLuke]

you watch ******* Geelong get Bowes AND Pick 7...

The news should be who isn't going to Geelong.

 

[whattagun07]

I’m not too concerned about Rankine being lured to stay at GC.
Dillon said yesterday that we’ve front ended his deal and he will be on 1.5mil in the first year hahah.
Maybe PSD isn’t out of the equation

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

So we're giving Rankine $1.5b per year, the key to the city, a luxury fully furnished unit on Mars and a dinosaur. He's not staying at Gold Coast
