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

 

[Carmo]

It is exactly that. If the trade period was 1 day, the same number of trades would happen

Make it so clubs can trade two years worth of picks (every club can afford everything from a contracted pick 1 down) and make trade period one or two days.

 

[ams4crows]

First trade of the day dropped.

Wonder if we're actually waiting on the Collingwood pick for Frampton to facilitate the Rankine deal. That's the only thing that could be holding it up

Hmm. Taken at pick 12. 30 games in first two years. Traded away for 18.

So it sounds like we keep pick 5 and it's off to the PSD.

Why do you say that?

Come again for big fudge?

Nonsense.

Imagine taking a week just to negotiate some late picks. Only justin reid man.

Maybe the haggling is to NOT have to take Atkins back as part of the deal

How do you know that is true? The media have been wrong with just about everything. As far as we know Gold Coast started off with Pick 5 plus next years second and third for Rankine and next years 4th. If you have no idea what you are talking about stop doing the Reid bashing, it’s boring

I'm just guessing but it would be pretty lame.

Also justin reid, is that you?

Also just reid, us that you?

It literally may be waiting for Collingwood to get their deals done so we know what (if anything) we get for Frampton to finalise Rankine deal. We may not want to give our F3 as an example.

i still think we should of tried to split pick 5 into 2 picks, then give GC our 1st pick and some steak knives.

I’m his Mum so leave him alone!!! we will never know but he might actually do well to just get away with only trading 5. Cameron did say they were wanting something decent for Rankine. I don’t think they just go sit in the room together for 4 days and talk about the trade for 8 hours a day. He might be fielding interest in Sholl, McAsey, Crouch, Rowe etc. let’s see how he goes by the end of trade period. I know you want the trade done on your time but unfortunately it doesn’t work that way.

A gun mid from Vic who actually barracked for us because of his dad's time in SA...it burned

it was more than that he was born in adelaide, and pre 10 lived there in street of crows supporters. he should have been prioritised if not at draft before he recommitted.

 

[arrowman]

We should have moved up the draft to land 6 when he fell that far on draft night.

Some say we did try - but we never know what goes on behind closed doors. The other party / parties have to be willing too, so the fact that it didn't happen isn't evidence that we didn't try.

Honestly I’m thinking more and more trade week is just theatre created by the AFL so they can sell advertising and keep past players in a media gig for a couple weeks. These deals have been done they just drip feed them to us to keep us engaged all week. It’s nonsense.

I think it would be interesting to hear the clubs' perspective on that. We all want them to move like it's speed dating, but maybe the clubs want time to discuss and negotiate deals, and there are domino effects when one trade is dependent on another.

i still think we should of tried to split pick 5 into 2 picks, then give GC our 1st pick and some steak knives.

This was the kind of result I was hoping for, but again, I guess you have to have a willing trade partner and also take the risk of GCS digging their heels in over the value of the steak knives.

 

[Ramify]

Someone should really call him out. How is the pressure and what he has been advised any different to, for example, taranto, JHF, bowes, jackson.
Why is this indigenous man not able to make his own decisions about what is best for him and his career without it being called into question? I seem to recall similar things in the media recently, hypocrisy much?

Our Club should get on the front foot for a change. A single well worded statement early on the peice could have made a bit of difference to how this trade has gone down.

GWS dudded again by Go Home factor.

That club will never rise above low level finals again, even when they were a top team they couldn't retain players due to the pull of big Vic clubs.

Yes because it worked out so well for us the last time we jumped the gun and made a big declaration about a player who wanted to join us.

At least they keep managing to keep the ball rolling. Their draft hand is continuously enviable.
