News Brad Crouch decision (ADL chickenshit, decline to match, receive 23)

[Iva Bigun]

Come and follow the mighty lovely people, why

1. you deserve better than waiting 3 days only to be made a fool of ( and let’s be clear this decision lays at the feet of the AFC)
2. An SA feel to our club already
3. You won’t have to watch the Crows now trade pick 1 for some stupid deal that makes your face want to melt
4. We wear red, yellow and blue ( even if it it a touch Maccas in design )

 

[CutAboveTheRest]

Tried to bluff and failed - lol.

Sack him. Sack Reid. Shut the club down. It’s a gross little SANFL bastard child.

And this is where the guys at PA have a very true reason to say we are nothing but a club made in a courtroom. Zero heart, zero culture. I hate that I need to admit this.

 

[BACCS]

Didn’t 5AA say Kelly would be on at 5?

 

[GROTTO]

Watch guys like McAsey head for the exit door next year!

McAsey will leave for pick in the 30s and the Crows will say thank you.

 

[ABAB]

Hundreds of our posters have been so bullish on pick 2 and if we somehow didn't get pick 2 we were so up yer nose to others saying we'd match and force the Saints to trade for him - now this!

The club says it's pick 2 or we match and we end up with this decision.

The club has got this wrong from the very start, should have taken the 2020 first rounder last year, would be pick 5. We've done an Essendon, who turned two high first rounders into just one by denying Daniher a trade.

We then badly misread the market thinking Brad would get Band 1 offers from other clubs, was never happening. I had already consoled myself to just take 23 and move on but it hurts when the club actually folds. Amateurs with no balls, that's us, thank god we're not having to negotiate with someone like Dodoro!

THIS IS YET ANOTHER MASSIVE F UP BY THIS CLUB. Only need to pick the wrong players (like Jones and McHenry) for it to end in disaster. GUTTED

Watch guys like McAsey head for the exit door next year!

LETS GO GCS.....my 2nd favourite team.

 

[The Karma Bus]

Gee I wonder which one of these two that the Crows would be in this situation and blow their own heads off...

 

[Kezza86]

LOL what a pathetic statement.. Absolute amateur hour by these muppets.

He probably couldn’t say what he wanted to. Apparently the club was happy to get rid of him. Does he have a drug problem? It’s known he lazy as well.

 

[Scorpus]

Are they actually that ******* STUPID to believe that Brad would have walked to St Kilda in the PSD?

That is a mind boggling statement that shows ineptitude beyond belief. We could have stopped that instantly by taking him with THE FIRST ******* PICK in that draft

 

[cleanhands]

Opposition clubs are now putting a list together for our young brigade

 

[BRL121]

How many strikes is Crouch on? Hopefully he finds some good value at Moorabbin.

Carlisle will help him. Best place for him.

 

[WAG]

Didn’t 5AA say Kelly would be on at 5?

Kelly was bluffing!

 

[WaynesWorld19]

You reckon the bloke we take with pick 1 will have pressure on him, it'll be nothing compared to the player we take with 23 if we retain that pick.

The Saints played us like a National guitar.

Yep, they read the bluff very easily .....the reason St Kilda didn't increase their offer, but kept it moderate, was because they knew we wanted Brad off the books

But we still were naive and still felt we could bluff, after it had already been called

 

[Murray2503]

All can say is that the club better nail pick 23. The only win for the club is that that pick turns into a champion which should have gone top 10.

 

[Coopers]

Disgraceful... How can we believe anything this club tells us in the future
when they lie more than a Hanson Rd Hooker

Hanson road you say?

 

[Madmunza]

* Brad Kelly you wanka

 

[GameofSloanes]

And the first thing Kelly does is thank Brad

Take note you other clubs, we might not be "bluffing" next time.....unlikely but it could be true.

If you try to bluff and fail, you don't then announce to the table that that's what you were doing.

Watch as clubs poach these players for nothing

Part the fact it HEAVILY contradicts their previous claims that "Brad was happy to stay"

now that was obviously a lie from the start... but don't ******* admit you lied to everyone asshats!

 

[WeedsMullet84]

I'm not hugely surprised, and not even that angry, really, but surely Kelly and Reid's positions are untenable. Certainly Kelly's.

As I said before the supporters already have huge trust issues with the club, after continually being lied to and deceived.

What an absolute embarrassment for the club. There has to be some accountability for Brad Crouch

[ams4crows]

"We tried to bluff and it didn't work"

* this club honestly, no spine, weak as piss, forever will be.

 

[King Elvis]

* this Club.

What an absolute joke.

 

[pjcrows]

First statement from Kelly on 5AA - we'd like to acknowledge Brad for how respectul he's been.

Haha.
