I think you know this already, but it was Sloane and McHenry.
Giving Rat five years might be one of, if not the the most baffling FA decision by a club in recent memory

We brought in Hately but hasn't helped so far given his forn & he doesn't properly use his size.

Given the head coach says we need more speed and power through the middle, I reckon it's safe to say they all see it as an issue
Well.. given what they need to pay for spuds... they have to pay massive just to keep decent players there...
They should just fold... their development will stop players reaching they potential. And any players want long careers should best leave.

Team Captain
I had assumed that the Crows would delist him, given that he had fallen completely out of favour in 2020. Reckon they could have got him for a year, 2 max as DFA on near minimum wage.
Has Izak requested a trade yet? Come on fella, get to it.
Gold coast should sign Tom Lynch as a free agent, he'll help that young group immensely, and what ever compo we get for him can go to the the Gold coast + our 2nd next year in exchange for Rankine who is on too big a coin for his output and doesn't really want to be there..... Plus the number 18 Crows Guernsey number is available....
People do realise that the $700k everyone thinks Rankine is on, is paid by the AFL and that the Sun pretty much have a bottomless pit as a salary cap. If we get him back to Adelaide it won’t be to free up cap space, because their cap is what ever it costs to keep everyone they want
After the debacle surrounding its most recent holder, I don't think we should give the 18 out again until someone proves himself worthy...

Tom is very likely to stay in Adelaide.

They plan on living here long term, good place to raise their kids etc. I'm not sure he'll leave for anywhere other than back to Victoria. 2nd hand info of course but this person is pretty close to Tom.
The Crows have a have a coaching role in front of him + a more involved AFLW role.
I think he's got a couple of good years of footy left but I wouldn't be surprised.
I think the Crows have offered him some kind of off-field (coaching?) role if he decided not to continue playing elsewhere? Can't find a link or anything to where I got that impression from, though, so maybe I just read it in a BigFooty post and I am just perpetuating the bullsh*t feedback loop

No you're correct .....the Club has indicated they do have a Coaching gig open to Lynch ....I assume it's the recently vacated role of Brent ReillyI think the Crows have offered him some kind of off-field (coaching?) role if he decided not to continue playing elsewhere? Can't find a link or anything to where I got that impression from, though, so maybe I just read it in a BigFooty post and I am just perpetuation the bullsh*t feedback loop
He's a fair bit taller than Reilly, though. Seems strange we'd swap a tall for a small, you'd think Mackay would be closer to a like for like replacement. Perhaps we're changing up our coaching / development for 2022 with an eye towards a taller coaching structure?
Hey GROTTO can we get a poll?
I'll guess 7. and 9.

So going to ignore playing to take up a development role ? .....sounds like mother lynch doesn't want to uproot from SA ....or doesn't want to go to GC

Maybe it's chatter to make sure he gets a decent offer elsewhereI think the Crows have offered him some kind of off-field (coaching?) role if he decided not to continue playing elsewhere?

Mmm .....as soon as Dawson talk ramps up ...Rankine & Luko talks fade away ???
Of all the players we desperately need, Rankine IMO still is ahead of Dawson ....from a needs perspective
