Contracted Players.

[AndrewJo]

I was just going through the board to try and get an updated list of our contracted players. Heard a very interesting story about someone who won't be at the Crows next year and was astounded. Anyone care to list the players with their contract ending dates...or guide me to where I can see them? Thanks

 

[IddyBiddy]

Ok Andrew, i'll bite....care to share the name of the player?

Thanks Campbell's Chunky but I trawled through that and the current ones aren't there.

Spill the player and the rumour and more insight will be had by all

 

[KUNG FU]

Gee, not even a hint. Trade? Delist?

I've never seen the words credibility and Big Footy used in the same thread.

I also heard a very interesting story...

about one J brown, who is not under contract with the crows.

and will not be at the crows next year.

who would have thought!

Why do people post only half a rumour? Either say it if it's true or don't say it at all.

We do have a Crows Contracts thread (look for the link in the "Index of Links to Important and Useful Threads" thread). However, it hasn't been updated in a while - partly because the club aren't generally forthcoming about these things in their press releases.

Surely supporters can't have their credibility questioned by trying to find out who is on our contracted list at the moment. Maybe I should not have given my reasons for wanting to know who was on our list, but I am not going to divulge confidential information given to me on this board. Not fair on the player involved.

 

[Deaneus!]

I know who it is (invisotext):

Me. I won't be on the Crows list next year, specifically due to age and an utter lack of talent. Occasionally i'll dream i play for the Crows, but can't find the ground in time for the match - that's as close as i ever got.

Amazing, huh?

It's the schoolyard equivalent of,
I know something you don't know
I know something you don't know
I know something you don't know

Congratulations AJ. You've really enlightened us all to possible club issues that we as supporters want to know. As for, "it's not fair on the player", gimme a break. If it was fair on the player, you wouldn't know either.

Bit naive deanus....we all know that certain decisions at all clubs are known by board members before players. Board members, however tight-lipped and professional , have been known to share with family members, friends etc before players get told.

Of course those things happen -they happen all the time, we even saw it this week with the Richmond bloke's sacking. You haven't explained though how it's fair that you know when the player doesn't, which was my point.

 

[CaptainDangerfield]

I heard the same rumour AJ - Jericho to Port via the preseason draft - I hope its only a rumour.

why did you not just ask for the list

what value does it add by saying

Heard a very interesting story about someone who won't be at the Crows next year and was astounded

Yea i just spoke to Jonathon Brown and he told me where he is going next year and i also just got off the phone to Fev and know all the details of his contract

It would not have mattered what I said because I still can't find an updated list of contracted players. Why is it that this "public" knowledge seems to be available at most other club's sites (or boards) but not ours. I wanted to know something about Shannon Hurn's contract term and I found it in 2 minutes on the West Coast forum.

It seems that on the one hand you are saying that you heard an interesting story about someone who won't be at the Crows next year and was astounded, and on the other you are trying to find out if that allegedly departing player is under contract or not.

If that is correct, you don't have a story - you have an unfounded rumour. You don't seem to be sure of it yourself.

Correct or not??

The crows arn't very open with their contracts and don't tend to advertise the lengths of the with huge press conferences etc. The info is then practically impossible to find after they've given the initial announcement.
