They might have plenty of picks coming in … Bergman, Butters would get them a at least 3 good first rounders.
I like the big offer, might not get the deal done though - pull would be pretty strong towards Paer you’d think.

That's the good thing, if they get him he'll cost them players not picks.
Butters, Bergman and Farrell (FA) will all be in the mix.
If we get him, he'll likely just cost picks.
Love the talk of a big offer by Crows. Worse case we drive up the price powa must pay NWM.

Last training session, Milera in the firsts, Nank in the seconds, just like every trial match so far when Milera has been available, so you do the math

Always makes me laugh when we were the next Italy but hold fire on anything negative Crows related until it's fully confirmed
Gettable saying NWM being offered lifetime offer (8 years or more) by Crows. No rush to re-sign currently by him
Has links to Crows as part of NGA before drafted and clearly knows James Gallagher ex Saints List Mgr
Power still favourite though thru links with players

But it actually hasn't happened yet....
Its really not.
I don't mind JR, and he cops a bum wrap here at times but to say he isn't arrogant is like saying ice isn't cold

No shit Sherlock. Tomorrow hasn’t happened yet but we know it’s going to happen
Every single press conference or media interview I have heard I would not for a moment have those sentiments,
And having some dealings with him - quite a number via email (he has actually offered for me to phone him even) in he last 5-6 years - as a supporter (now member again) and he has been incredibly giving with his time and appropriate in terms of the bulk of the information he can communicate (I offer lots of opinions/questions..) and he has actually gone out of his way to give me insights into the AFL world over and above what I was even asking about. Incredibly humble and nice guy is my experience of him and glad we kept him from Pies trying to poach
Sorry mate think you are 180 degrees off with JR (who has also done a great job overall the last 5 years inc pick swaps and mainly traded in players - before that some more questionable moves and lack of inbound trades)

How about you wait til tomorrow to get your knickers in a twist?
Agree 100% with this,
And the main issue being questioned - would you deem him arrogant based on all available evidence?

Cmon you can’t blame JR for that, he was ordered to go and get Gibbs by Fagan. Did you do what the boss said when employed and were given a very specific instruction?

True but it does appear likely based on naming of the “A team” in recent weeks
That was the 2nd year, not the first year
Very few clubs will have the natural picks to make it happen. Something will need to be sold.
That's how I remember it happening. They'd been in negotiations for a couple of days before Reid went public with Gibbs wanting to come to us. I always figured it was a bit of a hail mary because SOS was anchoring. I don't see it as arrogance, rather a tactic that probably didn't end up helping.
"Don't you understand, we already ARE the next Italy", I remember it well. As I do being told that there's no way a vaccination is within years of being available, you simply have to test much longer that what was being put forward. And Jen was in the biz, think her hubby might be in the game too.
Ok so going back almost a decade to 2016 and a failed trade. Even if he did bugger up somehow as you and Froggy believe - it’s an outlier to all other available evidence.
Froggy said we were arrogant to Day a couple of years ago (“according to BF reports”) which is contrary to my understanding to how deep the conversations went. Oh, and he has picked up gun after gun after gun players in the last 4 years starting with captain Dawson. Now Swans would definitely have called JR arrogant for the way he treated them, threatened PSD and got Dawson for a huge steal. So perhaps you are right on that occasion.
Just accept you are wrong on this one and we can move on
