Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II - Welcome to Adelaide

[BACCS]

People crying out for an A grade midfield, do we have that now with Dawson, Rankine and Soligo as our main trio? Then you have Crouch rotating through to provide some inside help and release one of Dawson or Rankine to other areas of the ground as required. Bringing in Hayward can then release Rachele into there more as well.

Hence why if we don't snare McLuggage or LDU, then we have to try for a top end mid in this draft to go with the 3 you mention, Edwards, Taylor and, fingers crossed, Curtin at some point

 

[BunjiMC]

There is not a single quote where I questioned how much we are paying him!

Apologise you got it very wrong... again!

I stand by that in a position of strength we should never have given up our pick 5... which should have been used on a top end midfielder... when we had plenty of other draft capital.

You cannot accept this view which is shared by many on here, yet here you are raising it again when a completely different point was being discussed on how much he was being paid.

Anyone with a semblance of intelligence would understand the difference... but not you as you would prefer to stalk me for about the 100th time to make the same repetitive point yet again.

You are such a boring poster!

If you don't have any new views, go & play with someone else...

Here you are agreeing that because we didn't pay a mid 1st for Jame Rowe we shouldn't for Rankine.......there is only one of us that needs to admit we got it wrong.....and it's YOU

LOL LOL LOL

I think that he is an obvious answer to a question we as a supporter base have been raising for a long time and that is we need eite mids, where do we get one. The answer is right under our nose as Rankine can be that elite mid. He has everything and the burst speed and evasiveness. Play him there with and with dawson and soligo we have 3 very different and high end mids to build around.

People say, but we need rankine forward to kick the goals. I say we have others that can do the extraordinary like rachele and maybe we get Hayward too to do that. What wins grand finals???....high end mids go a long way towards it

Higher ceiling as a mid than 2 of the Powers Big 3 (JHF will be the best and likely win a B/low)

Looked ****ing amazing today.

Wasted goal of the year on a loss.

Concern with the hammy at the end. Did the exact same thing vs Melbourne last year. Though didn’t get done running too far.

Yep, never to be a forward pocket again unless resting.

He’s a star

 

[FR0GGY]

That goal deserved to be a winner on the mcg

 

[TheLeftFist8]

Crows don't deserve him. Such a star, surrounded by 10-12 absolute hacks on a weekly basis.

10-12 hacks??? We are carrying only a handful of them.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I wasn't that hot on the idea of Rankine as a mid but the last two games have changed my mind completely.

 

[SydCrow]

He is obviously a midfielder. Has all the attributes. Dawson and Rankine are our best mids.

Yeah Ranks is clearly more than capable as a mid. He was making them look silly as an u18s as a mid and he does the same at AFL level. Hes got the work rate, contested game, skills and speed...

Looks like we might need to manage his workload tho. He also had a huge game v Melb last year when he pinged one late.

 

[Hell Boy6669]

If he delivers us a flag, not farfetched to say he will become our best ever. McLeod and jarman are the only two who compare to him on talent

 

[adelaidecrows]

I am calling it now

Big statement coming up

If he stays fit, he will be better a top 5 midfielder in the competition and a definite Brownlow type x factor player.

He is better than Butters just has to build consistency around his game.

 

[Crowbling]

He is a gun.. problem is he is surrounded by players like ROB, Laird, Jones, Smith, McHenry and Murphy.

 

[dogs105]

In 3 or 4 weeks time, we'd be talking about him as a top 3 player in the comp.


If he didn't ping his hamstring...

 

[ABAB]

Jones and probably Keays entering that conservation again after being excellent last year.

 

[Crow-eater]

Well, it's nice to know we spent pick 5 on an elite mid. We didn't draft him, but it's progress?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Geez, hope he isn't out too long with a hamstring as we are going to badly miss him.

 

[Brett Cummings]

Only 24 too. He's a special player Just hope we can get him a flag.

 

[NSolis]

Well, it's nice to know we spent pick 5 on an elite mid. We didn't draft him, but it's progress?

Better than drafting him, right? He cost pick 3 to draft, and we get all his best years for pick 5.

Thanks, Kingy.
