This from the Advertiser / AdelaideNow:
Izak Rankine is coming home.
Adelaide has secured the exciting forward in a deal centred around the Crows’ pick five in this year’s AFL draft after negotiations with Gold Coast dragged into the trade period’s second week.
Future third- and fourth-round picks are also headed to the Suns, who sent Rankine, pick 46 and a future fourth-round selection to Adelaide.
The deal still needs to be ticked off by the AFL but will be official on Monday afternoon.
The Crows have limited list spots but the pick in this year’s draft will likely go towards matching a bid on father-son prospect Max Michalanney.
News Corp revealed in early August that Adelaide’s hope to bring Rankine back to South Australia was suddenly a reality and he requested a trade the week after the Suns’ season ended.
The 22-year-old was the No.3 pick in the loaded 2018 draft, with the likes of Sam Walsh, the King twins – Max and Ben – Bailey Smith and Connor Rozee also taken in the top 10 that year. Rankine is fresh from his best season at AFL level, kicking 29 goals from 18 games, as well as averaging 13 disposals, one goal assist and a league-best 2.9 groundball-gets inside 50.
The Crows are set to not only use him as a forward but also plan to unleash him in the midfield as well.
The Suns were disappointed to lose Rankine and flew his father to the Gold Coast late in the season in a last-gasp bid to change his mind.
It’s believed his round 15 game against Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval, when he was surrounded by family afterwards in the change rooms, was a turning point in him wanting to go home.
Once Rankine’s mind was made up, Gold Coast turned its attention to maximising the return for him, with Adelaide’s top pick instantly targeted.
The Suns are also chasing more picks in next year’s draft to help them match bids for Academy prospects Jed Walter and Ethan Read, so that became an integral part of the Rankine deal.
Jed Walter was named in this year’s under-18 All-Australian team as a bottom-ager and is considered the second-best key forward in the 2023 draft behind potential No.1 Harley Reid.
Read is a 200cm ruckman who could eventually succeed Jarrod Witts as Gold Coast’s leading big man.
Gold Coast received the Giants’ future second-round pick in a deal with Brisbane that saw Tom Berry become a Sun and also scored a future fourth-round selection from Fremantle for Josh Corbett.
Geelong will likely hand over a 2023 third-round pick in the salary dump trade with Gold Coast for Jack Bowes and the No.7 selection in this year’s draft.

Welcome Izak. Now just need to see him wearing the tricolours (thats not photoshopped)
Very excited about Rankine but he is a small forward as things stand. He has scope to spend minutes in the midfield but he will primarily be a forward.

interesting part in there
The highly-skilled 22-year-old has committed to the Club until at least the end of 2025 by signing a three-year deal.
Only a 3 year deal?

A forward line revolving around Fog/Thilthorpe/Rankine/Rachele has the potential to be the best in the league. The question is, can we build a midfield that will give them the service. Realistically, at least 2 of Berry/Soligo/Schoey/Pedlar need to become A-graders over the next few years for us to compete with the top teams.

Berry, Soligo and Pedlar could well be.
I just want Peds fit - he could be explosive at afl level.

Anyone wanna tell Theo the crows have already announced this an hour before his tweet?
with the additional picks reported, it's basically Rankine for 5.
Feels like the others cancel eachother out

Brisbane have 5 picks between Ashcroft and 46.
Instantly becomes 41 following Ashcroft without any other matched bids for F/S or academy players. This is super useful when it comes to matching a bid for MM.
