[LeftyLuke]

Can we chose to pay out a players contract and delisted them without their consent?

Ricciardo says yes.

 

[Crows#1]

Any truth to the rumour Ricciuto our de facto chairman/coach/list manager is leaving the board in the off season?
I can't keep my fingers crossed forever.

If he hasn't gone by now then it's unlikely he ever goes.

Roo will leave when we win a flag. In other words never.

Watching the SANFL replay, at the end of the game there was someone down with the Crows in street clothes with his right arm in a sling, looked like Ben Keays

Yes he has had shoulder surgery

Yes, was reported a few days ago.

Adelaide Crows Post-Season Medical Update

Yes he has had shoulder surgery

Easy answer then. He was a big fan of Frampton flipping the bird judging from his interaction with him.

Couple minor things
We spoke to JHF. Too many red flags.
Apparently this is also the case with Phillipou. No idea what they are though.
Also, we see Thilthorpe as our future 1st Ruck

Very interesting about Thilthorpe but O'Brien still has 4 years to go and we whilst Fog is emerging we don't have a 2nd key tall after Tex retires. Gollant is a third tall type and McAdam is getting older. Does the club seriously see Himmelberg as the answer?

JHF red flags are there to see wonder what Philipou's are

That's a shame.

Wonder if we spoke to Tarryn Thomas or NWM?

Murray could play as 2nd key tall up forward if we got a KPD such as Brennan Cox. Fog, Muzz, Gollant along with McAdam, Rankine, Rachele, Pedlar could work up forward post Walker.

Is Murray a reliable set shot? Probably not.

 

[LeftyLuke]

Is Murray a reliable set shot? Probably not.

He's a bloody long kick, can kick it 60. As long as he can work on his accuracy he could work. Can take a pack mark as well.

 

[Scorpus]

Spending pick 2 on a pure ruck is real yucky stuff

 

[Danger in Texas]

Won't know until you try him up there. Has shown he can clunk a mark forward of the ball, at least

Unless they turn into Max Gawn

Damn. Hard to speculate what those red flags would be obviously (for both players), but it's a shame

Doubt we look to keep pick 5, in that case

I don't get the JHF bit here.
Why were we willing to put all our eggs into that basket last year, and less than 12 months later wouldn't try again?
Unless we didn't do our due diligence first time round.

I take that as meaning the both want to go to the pear

Someone on the pear board has intimated that Phillipou and his family want him to go to the pear

 

[1990crow]

Phillipou Too tall ?

Nicksy was worried Smurph might not get a game
