News Izak Rankine, Gold coast holding Rankine to Ransom- #FreeIzak

[Scorpus]

Mod note:

Opposition posters making outlandish trade suggestions to bait the Crows board will be considered trolls and dealt with in the usual manner

No one wants a repeat of the Gibbs thread

 

[Crow till I die]

People will come to games just to see them, especially Rankine. I can't think of any player in competition who is so talented in close. He also worked hard defensively. I was actually surprised that 4000 fans turned out to practice game with cyclone threatening.

Cyclone threatening..they came to see cyclone rankine

 

[Crow till I die]

To be honest, based what I saw yesterday I now believe Crows made a mistake during draft. They should had come up with a offer that Suns would not refuse. Rankine is special and ready and would be huge this year for Crows to win it all.

You are preaching to the converted for many of us. We have faith jones and mchenry will be great long term players for us but personally i would have forgone both to have the opportunity to land rankine..he is going to be that good in my opinion

4,000 crowd is unbelievable number for Suns considering that 12-15,000 fans turned up for regular home games the last year (half opposition fans).

Look i think i speak for our entire board when i say this. We hope you guys prove the doubters wrong and don't finish last. We are hanging on carlton finishing last for obvious reasons and you guys finishing above them would be a massive kick in their guts. I also can't wait to see rankine in particular run riot against them. They won't know what hit them and i doubt tgey have anyone on their list capable of legally shutting him down

 

[Tex Danger]

I don't think Suns would had trade both picks 2 and 3. But let's say pick 3 for some crazy offer like Weller's trade they would do it. Crows had picks 8, 13, 16, 21? What is outrageous offer? Not sure. Pick 8+13+(21) for 3? I would probably ask Suns what they want first

i have no doubt the crows asked the question. what GC answer was is the question.

 

[footy4ever]

Im a bit like you. We chose to pass on them without making some sort of crazy offer yet we still think we can pinch them for half eaten............Gruel.

Im sure the crows did not choose to pass, on these two.

Speaking of which, I wonder if Ned McHenry will be our best Izak Suit to curb him when we play GC?

For perspective. There were 1,000 at the Adelaide vs Power trial yesterday.

Is that the "official" estimation? Looked more like 2-3000 to me.

On the tv it looked about 155ish

 

[BRL121]

The commentators said 500 (at an early stage of the game).

The stands were full. Everybody fighting for the shade...also, the hospitality tents out the back...were ...um, packed!

How odd.

 

[Shaz2012]

Yep, price went up for both Rankine and Lukosius. They were both unbelievable yesterday. Rankine had a couple of magic moments.

How much? We’ll pay.

That's some creepy s**t

I imagine their parents are probably relieved they are being looked after. And neither of them can cook so they are being taken care of in that aspect as well. Rankine living with Sean Lemmens. I knew initially the three of them lived with Evans when they first arrived, before Rankine moved in with Sean, I just didn't realize that Jack and Ben decided to stay with Mark and his wife. They obviously feel comfortable living with them.

It's still creepy AF.

Keep them away from the... night life and other amenities the Gold Coast has to offer perhaps? Also other clubs that may come snooping....

I am happy with McHenry.

With our development and his attitude he will be just as good as Rankine.

We do a similar thing and often have new draftees living with board members, senior admin or families who are closely tied to the club.

You might need to get your hand off it

What do you mean?

Gold Coast wouldn't have the same long standing AFL networks and established host families that other clubs would

We shall see.

Only if Rankine stays at GC and his development is somehow stifled. However under our system Rankine would in my opinion become one of the best players in the comp and possibly could become the best he is that skillful. McHenry I feel can become a really hard arse player for us - maybe in the Ballantine mould where he is a golakicker and makes life really hard for opponents with his niggle and pressure
