Player Watch Izak Rankine Part II

[whattagun07]

The thing that sticks out to me watching Rankine's clips....
he is EXPLOSIVE.

The way he moves...he is a Ferrari

I have no doubt whatsoever, that he becomes an ELITE centre stoppage player with us, and he will burn teams drifting forward.

And his kicking is a thing of beauty

Stoked Rankines ours, but seriously 5 years in to our rebuild and our midfield still stinks.

I like the sound of a Ferrari. We haven’t had a decent car since our late 90s Rolls Royce.

Finally done.
Now just chuck him and Rachele up forward in a Showdown to dud those teal fellas down the street and we can finally start enjoying football again.

Wrapped to have Rankine. He will add a level of excitement we haven’t had since Betts.
Paid a fair amount in the end - just feels likes it’s too much as everyone else seems to get discounted trades.
Now we can judge Reid on what he does for the rest of the trade period. The Rankine one for pick 5 was easy. A win this week will depend on what else he is able to achieve.

Happy with this, but what's the story with the 3 year contract? Earlier reporting seemed to suggest our offer was a 5 year contract... was that all just media nonsense or did something change along the way?

Frampton will get done...If he can offload Crouch bare minimum as well it will be a win in my eyes.. I doubt we try move up the draft order before the trade period, if anything we would try move up on the night itself if we see our player slipped through.

Welcome Izak!! Can't wait to see you light up Adelaide Oval.

I know you'll put on a great show

 

[knobby]

To think Port played a hand in getting him here as well, delicious!

 

[Danger in Texas]

Gonna be exciting seeing this bloke run around for the next decade

Am content with the deal itself

Again, I need to see Izak in a non-photoshopped Crows guernsey, stat

 

[whattagun07]

He's a different kind of explosive to say a Danger.
Where Danger charges through, Izak will accelerate, stop, spin, and accelerate again.
Where his speed doesn't get him free, his smarts and evasiveness will.

He is exactly the type of player that I don't usually associate with the Adelaide Crows. I am so happy to have him

Believe it or not, the media often make sh*t up.

its because we paying him a lot less than has been reported
wants to renegotiate in 3 yrs with TPPs going up etc

i think this is a positive
