Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2

[crow2crow]

Unless there is some underlying injury issue that we're not aware of (which, to be fair, wouldn't be that surprising with Pedlar) I think we just need to accept that this is as fit as Pedlar is going to get.

Taylor's fitness has always been an issue, but he's still been able to contribute at times at AFL level. Whereas Pedlar has barely shown a glimpse in the last two years. It's really disappointing.

pedlar is miles ahead of taylor IMO but both arent fit youre right

Social media scuttlebutt, but the rumour is the Crows asking questions of Will Day. Sounds like bs to me, but could be a link to what Jars was alluding to. 2 years remaining on contract, I don't believe it.

He’s rejected us once already

Taylor I'm not convinced will be a long term crow.

Small extension and has played a few games this year so curious if he will be steak knife's in a deal somewhere (or intended as a trade chip) whist we have a bad hand in picks

 

[CROUCH #2]

My opinion on Day.

0% chance,

I'd say hawks value day more than bringing in Merritt. And the asking price would be huge such as adding in a Rachelle or Soligo type player.

Jars

 

[Bearded Clam]

Day could never fully recover from his foot issue.. fxxk spending good trade/draft capital on that risk..

 

[lincsPJ]

Reid obviously.
I never said it was a bad thing, just backing up the thought that he might be on the hard side to deal with

Beats accepting pick 9 (10) on day 1 for the best player in the comp.

Yeah for now the Hawks would likely command first rounders. Two expensive for an injury risk. Id wait until the end of next season or even the year after. He will still only be 26 then. Right now though the cost to risk ration is way to risky.

 

[CrouchPowa]

Jars

Trust me, I don't believe it or Jars.

Rightly so, and people have a go a Rowie

if two first rounders got Day done we would do it and take the risk... maybe hawks dont think they can rebuild him to full fitness

 

[woopedazz]

Pedlar's football IQ and decision-making is worse than my pre-schooler when under any form of pressure, or under no pressure. He needs exactly one smidgen of pressure being applied to him to make a correct decision. It's hard to ensure a player always has only a single smidgen of pressure being applied at any one time during a game. I don't have high hopes even if he gets fit.

Yeah we probably would. But im not sure thats a great move considering he has never been able to play out a full season. Came close in 2023. But thats it. Hasnt been close since.

Also, rightly so.

Pedlar does a lot of the 1% stuff really well and thats why I think he gets games. But the worrying trend for me is he disappears.

I’m giving Rowie more credibility, short half head

Jars probably gets his info of Big Footy.

Rowie would at least maintain contacts within the club through his roles. Plus Rowie has a networkers personality.

He was a norwood player

Just wait a minute, my translator just duck out to the toilet

To be fair, i stopped listening to Rowey years ago!
