Front load Rankine's contract to $1.5M for next year and see if they want to bite, we are just copying what Carlton did for Martin and see if those anti Crows media have the guts to call us out.The kid sounds spooked enough as it is.. if a trade isnt done I can easily see him just re-signing with the Suns instead of taking a chance in the PSD..
Which is a fxxking disgusting prospect because the crows have had 3 young player leave for massive contracts (2 of them in cameron and mcgovern) and the crows never attempted to block their trades. They dealt with it and just worked on getting the best deal for them they could even as contracted fxxking players.
I can see the entitled “we deserve everything” flogs that are the Suns thinking “lets refuse to entertain a deal unless its ludicrously overs and try and force it to the PSD” in the hope that if this does look likely that Rankine simply re-signs with them rather than risk going to north or west coast or bombers..
And the anti crows media will cheer it along.
Wow - you really think that?Should he?
How many tall mid/forwards who are currently all the rage available in this draft especially given his age and potential upside?
I'd take Aaron Cadman if we weren't in need of a class midfielder..Ashcroft
Sheezel
Tsatas
Jefferson
Busslinger
Wardlaw

I'm a big Jefferson fan ......the Gibcus of this draft, for marking .....but so much like Harrison Jones as a FWDI'd take AaronCadman if we weren't in need of a class midfielder..

Go check the draft board.Stop talking s**t....
Phillipou has always been one of my favoured players if he;s available at our pick
Yeah I do, go back and watch the supreme quarter of football he played before injuring his back at the Nationals, no mid played a better quarter of footy at the Nationals. 27/12/2004 birthdayWow - you really think that?
I think there's a good 8+ players who'd be before him on most boards.
You know this a lot better than me, but I reckon Ashcroft, Wardlaw, Tsatas, Sheezel and Cadman would definitely be ahead of him, and McKenzie and Bussinger would be a coin flip. Maybe Jefferson as well, if someone needs a key forward, and Humphrey might be coming late.
And kicking efficiency of 57%...which is the same as Laird this year. Meanwhile Jack Macrae 68%Beveridge has handled Dunkley poorly.
He is very different to Schoenberg in many ways.
Go look at his 2019 year at 22 y.o.
He was on track to being a gun.
191cm 90kg mid averaging almost 30 possessions a game.
What utter crap, I just want the most talented mid available, that's always been my call, size to me is irrelevant, I'll tell you one thing Phillipou has the potential to be way more damaging than a lot of the mids in this draft regardless of his size. Same as I always rated Bailey Smith above Sam Walsh...hurt factor.Go check the draft board.
You 1st said we could swap with GC and still get him and when questioned and I said Hamish has no excuse for not drafting a big bodied mid this year you gave a thumbs down and referenced Twomey article with him between 10-15 and everytime a big bodied mid was brought up you bang on about Wardlaw, Ashcroft and Clarke knowing 2 were going to be gone.
You argue for the sake of arguing no matter how stupid it is and wrong you are.
I'm not against it - I think others probably have similar upside and maybe a bigger body of work. For better or worse, SA players get marked down for spending most of the year in a lesser compYeah I do, go back and watch the supreme quarter of football he played before injuring his back at the Nationals, no mid played a better quarter of footy at the Nationals. 27/12/2004 birthday
Lad called Henry McMurphy availableI'm keen to trade for another non goal kicking defensive forward.
Brendan Bolton is an apt comparison at this stage.
Aaron Cadman just destroyed the Falcons with his game today in a massive come from behind win, he has a better all round game than Jefferson IMO, his follow up work when the ball hits the deck is off the charts as well as his high marking. I think he compares favourably with that Aaron bloke running around in the AFL currently.I'm a big Jefferson fan ......the Gibcus of this draft, for marking .....but so much like Harrison Jones as a FWD

If I’m in a pessimistic, snarky mood - which happens from time to time - I’d agree with you that Duursma is an average player… but still insist that he is head and shoulders above Jones and McHenry.Lost me at when you said Duursma was streets ahead of Jones and McHenry. Those last two are just average to ok players, exactly like Duursma. None are setting the world alight.
Put a line through them and if we get Rankine then prioritize Taylor in place of Jones. If not, prioritize Newchurch and Taylor in place of McHenry and Jones.If I’m in a pessimistic, snarky mood - which happens from time to time - I’d agree with you that Duursma is an average player… but still insist that he is head and shoulders above Jones and McHenry.
But if I’m in an optimistic, perky mood I’d suggest that ruling a line through Jones and McHenry is premature and that with another pre-season under their belt and the club backing them in, they could still become very handy AFL players.
God I hope optimistic me is right… but realistic me is probably siding with pessimistic me…
Go Crows.
Trade for Poulter?? He looked good in the few games I saw him, tall, athletic wingmanCollingwood are into Frampton. guess thats a DFA so no trade to be done.
Macrea is a super player. I'd have him in our midfield in a heartbeatBeveridge has prioritised Macrae, Bont. Macrae is a bit overrated imo.
I think the difference is there are 3 or 4 clubs that get to pick before us with likely lots of cap space. Rankine also presents as a much greater talent than martin did so ain't gping to fly under any radar if it ever got to a psd scenario.Front load Rankine's contract to $1.5M for next year and see if they want to bite, we are just copying what Carlton did for Martin and see if those anti Crows media have the guts to call us out.
Yep, 100% this. And soonPretty much. We need to find our Martin or Petracca
Geez mate Not sure that Rankine at the same stage of their careers was all that inferior to Rankine.I think the difference is there are 3 or 4 clubs that get to pick before us with likely lots of cap space. Rankine also presents as a much greater talent than martin did so ain't gping to fly under any radar if it ever got to a psd scenario.
It’s not a matter of Phillipou or Dunkley, if we are keeping our first and still getting Rankine, there’s no chance we’d use it to get Dunkley and not get a high end mid like Phillipou with our first.Phillipou is obviously a quality, quality prospect, and if we can somehow manoeuvre ourselves to grab both him and Rankine, you do it. 100% of the time
I’d easily take the chance on Phillipou’s upside rather than go for a Dunkley type. We need an A+ grader if we’re gonna look to be contending some time this decade
The clubs messaging about bringing in acquisition(s) and the need to bring in experience in the midfield (Tex has said this in an interview) says otherwise.Phillipou is obviously a quality, quality prospect, and if we can somehow manoeuvre ourselves to grab both him and Rankine, you do it. 100% of the time
