News Crows eye Walker, Jacobs

[BACCS]

No way Richmond or anyone else would be silly enough to take Grigg before Jacobs in the PSD. Regardless of that, BIB has stated so many times that Jacobs just won't go in the PSD.

Well, just have a look at my post above, and you tell me where he is going then.

Adelaide has pulled out of the race for Andrew Walker. Bulldogs now in the box seat for the Blue.

What would WB offer, they have nothing left.
Looks like Port...Dont write adel off yet

 

[Blue and Silver]

It has also been confirmed that Jacobs won't be re-signing with Carlton.

That is your list managers belief, not the truth, only what is the current mentality of the Adelaide list manager. There is a difference

Great thing to write when your post is at the top of the page.

That guy is a spokesman from Adelaide, not for Jacobs. It's your manager saying that Adelaide will get him, which they probably still will, but you'll have to pay up now to get him or you'll miss out and remain Ruckless.

 

[ESKIE]

Jacobs is looming as a very large juicy carrot for many clubs, Saints are now interested, but who wouldn;t be....this is going to be one of those winning trades for us that goes to the highest bidder at the death knock.
(ie: Fevola)

 

[Big Red is back]

Guys based on the price paid for prior speculative young ruckman and consider a mid teens pick equates to a low 20s pick I actually think a mid teens pick is below the odds.

HOwever I am 100% positive we will do no worse than a mid teens pick.

Crowbots feel free to bookmark this.

Anything less and I would be happy for him to go to the PSD.

A mid 20s pick in this draft is beyond useless so more than happy to get nothing instead.

Who did you have as mid 20s picks in your phantom draft Big Red?

I've had some more info passed on to me from the same person as before, basically if their source is who they say it is then it's a very good source close to the Crows.

He says Talia's name has been thrown about and he has made it clear to the crows that he would like to return to Melbourne. Also says Myke Cook is on the table. Says both clubs are still playing games, could take a few days before we get anywhere, don't take what you read in the paper as gospel and no one has given up on anyone yet.

Lots of time left yet for things to happen.

Myke Cook?

Is that a joke?

Racist.

 

[Sin City]

Myke Cook?

Don't think we'd be overly keen, just passing on the info I got.

 

[davis_756]

I can't believe Adelaide were dumb enough to trade Bock compo + 3rd rounder for that hack Tambling, that will go down as one of the worst trades ever.

Surely we can't get worse then that for Jacobs, if we did i'd be quite happy to suggest Adelaide's recruits are shit at valuing players. We wont take your 2nd rounder for him and you won't trade your 1st rounder for him. This will be done next monday at 2pm once the clubs work out which players are involved.

Seems no chance of Walker + Jacobs for 14 + Sellar happening oh well.

How about

Carlton Gain: Talia, 2nd round pick

Adelaide Gain: Jacobs, Walker

Maybe another minor pick to Adelaide perhaps? 3rd or 4th rounder?

Apart from that Tambling trade, it appears Chris Pelchen is doing Adelaide's negotiating in this trade week.

That's what they think. So far it really hasn't worked for them and they can try and hold out for as long as they want but they will eventually have to agree to our terms.

 

[TexasDangaWalker]

Talia is not allowed to be traded under AFL rules apparently. Can't trade 1st year players. Might went to do a double take...

Myke Cook. Yeah... excellent disposal.

They've pulled out of the race for Walker by the sounds of things

[cammo6556]

I personally don't care if we don't talk to Carlton for the rest of trade week. Jacobs is a kid with a less than extensive playing history and the target of ridiculous speculation as to his worth. Back to the PSD where he came from.

They haven't. Don't believe the things they say this early in trade week.

I wouldn't be surprised if you are right, but I'd be astonished if you actually knew.

When are Adelaide supporters gonna realise that them missing out on Jacobs will hurt them more than us losing him for nothing

Exactly. Although going from the Tambling trade the lack of trade knowledge extends all the way to Rendell.

When we miss out on him in the PSD. It's worth the punt...

Not really. Couldn't really care less. He is immobile and due to the new rules, we need him alot less.

 

[Sin City]

He was still in the top five in the AFL for hit outs to advantage. You need him to cure your terrible ruck problems and actually give your midfielders a chance next year.

Of course... who doesn't need a ruckman that can either beat or equal the best ruckmen in the league...

22 years old... 2nd highest affective hitouts percentage in the league...
