Rumour 2022 Rumour Discussion Thread

[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

 

[BunjiMac]

It's done apparently.

What's the word on Grundy or Rankine

 

[Volbeat]

Grundy to GWS possibly.

Rankine no idea

FWIW the Frampton thing didn't come from me. Just I coincidence I heard about it at that kind of time

 

[Mego Red]

Sure but ultimately they'd only be giving us that pick if they were feeling generous. There's still an advantage from not giving your competitor a leg up

You'd think that, but weirdly that doesn't happen that much. Clubs don't look to take the small advantages in trades.

 

[Mego Red]

All Australian small forward 2022.
Ricky Henderson.

You think delisting Stengle after three seperate incidents was a bad decision?

I don't think we had much choice, and hopefully that was the final wakeup call for him.

Henderson was pretty much marched out of the building by supporters, so it's hard to agree with that.

Every side in the AFL has delisted players that might catch on somewhere else. It's not like either of these are Peter Bell.

 

[Crow till I die]

Rankine no idea

Have you heard anything about hopper? We have been linked to him in the media

 

[1970crow]

Yeah fairly certain. Rumour likely came from me. I think I have a leak hahaha. I'll work on confirming

Players of no value do trade for a late pick early so all parties can just move on. Pies could have to wait and get him as a DFA if we want to push it hard, but that’s only being unreasonable for the sake of it.

Would have liked to have seen us use Frampton as a 3rd tall where he's given licence to intercept and attack but it wasn't to be.

Glad that once we put a line through him this year we haven't brought him back.

As a kpd, didn't have the drive/focus to stop his man at the level required which was his undoing. Shame as our attack out of the backline was far stronger with him there but it was always a very long shot anyways.

I don't understand the Frampton bagging.
He has been the best player in the sanfl side consistently for the last 8-10 weeks
Just because we played him out of position in the afl, if he played Doedee's position, he would have thrived.
He would be a good fit for the Bulldogs, I hope he gets another chance

What? He did get a chance at the interceptor.... he played 1 good game which was against the bulldogs if I remember correctly, everyone was singing his praises and thought he was a lock for all australian at that point ... then the following week was dreadfully exposed by GWS (I think). The bullies let him run free, gws put a forward on him and he was exposed about 20 times during the game.

He is not afl standard. Failed as a forward who could get on a lead but the ball always slipped through his fingers, or mostly missed a goal. Failed in defence because he cannot defend 1 on 1. If rumors are true, Collingwood can have him for free imho, he is not worth anything.

Too bad for afc we put our defender eggs on a failed draft pick. It's unfortunate because afc has a really long history of somehow getting excellent defenders.. ie Hart, rutten, talia... this might be the first period in time where we haven't got a very good reliable big defender...

Not a fan of Butts?

 

[craig crowing]

With our lack of tall defenders and having to use Doedee on talls tuning his game therefore having to use Dawson in his role where better use in mid area where we are lacking class and skill that he has .
Strongly believe it is another Nicks selection stuff up in not using Frampton in defence panicking after McKay dominated which likely do this week.

 

[FR0GGY]

Our last 2 Malcolm blight medal winners and runners up were off the rookie list

And?

 

[CrowsB4hoes]

And?

And you said you can’t expect much from a rookie

 

[spenze]

And?

Then?

 

[FR0GGY]

Then?

NO AND THEN

Murray is probably our best defender ATM. He's the one getting the best opponent currently.

He is in better form than butts atm. Plays on the smaller kpf at the moment (buddy & mihochek) so will have a big task ahead of him this week against curnow

Murray slung Buddy to the ground like a rag doll. Not many have done that.

Butts and Murray are different players who hopefully develop into a pair of outstanding pillars for the club over many years. I like what they do in spite of their inexperience and youth.

He was great against buddy. Curnow is an athletic beast though so will be a good test for him. I'm taking under 3 goals as a positive

Berry was throwing players around like nothing as well. I remember he reversed suplexed Heeney at one stage.

 

[slice]

Disaster if Frampton leaves. McAsey is no good and/or will leave... and the cupboard is pretty bare after that.

So we'll burn pick 3 on the best key defender in the draft again. Great.

Disagree. There are quite a few experienced KPD's looking for new homes. If they are trading Frampton it's because we plan on bringing in another tall back.

Yes.

Griffin Logue has been mentioned who are the others?

 

[WeedsMullet84]

Wtf?

He’s on form today. I think he’s just hitting his keyboard and autocorrect is choosing the words for him. Bizarre behaviour

The lack of others and Logue showing he is capable of playing at both ends doing his value no harm whatsoever. he will have plenty of suitors and with Freo rumoured to be throwing mega $ at Jackson they will be moving some players on including Lobbe to make space
