It's no coincidence the Motlop rumours and Aish declining the 3 year deal happened days apart.

One each ? Don't step on each other's toes ? ;)
 
If we are going to look at it logically, Aish isnt leaving Brisbane to head to another interstate club. During his interviews he let it be known he wanted to stay in SA and so a few clubs passed on him. Plus Brisbane has some prospects moving forward with one of the best young midfields around, so its not like they are a basket case. The only thing is if Hawthorn do a Gunston on everyone and pay him big coin to go across. They are going to be losing their older skilful mids soon and Aish would be a super fit for them. That may be attractive for him.

Buy other than that you would think he is coming home. He barracks for the Crows, we really wanted him and would have been keeping in contact with him. Also we employed one of his relos for awhile.

As everyone knows I think we lack a quality list manager who can pull over a big fish for us. We have been smashed by Port in that regard, which annoys the shit out of me.
So everything points to him coming here, so we would need to be shithouse for him to not be here.
Just imagine the shame if we lost Danger and Aish wanted to go to PAP.

Fair point!

Regardless, it doesn't disprove what you're saying. Betts was an already established player, who would automatically walk in to our 22. Polec on the other hand was a young player who had not delivered on his talent. If the rumours of how Sando handled the young players and those outside of his best 22 are correct, then I certainly wouldn't have been in a rush to come to the Crows if I were in Polec's shoes.

Keep in mind that we have Justin Reid now as our list manager who is extremely respected and will do a far better job than what David Noble did when he was doing it along with 50 other roles around the club.

The only issues for us is whether we're going to have the cap space and getting a deal together to satisfy Brisbane.

Yeah true. Anyone know what Justin is like? Bull buster or car salesman etc?

No idea, all I know is that he's John Reid's son and has been a player manager for 14 years.

Honestly though after the shemozzle last year with Gorringe where Port chased him for 12 months and then more or less dumped him once they had Ryder, I really don't think they have us trumped as far as list managers go.

I have not heard good things on how the club approached and sold itself to Polec, compared to how Port went about it. One was a "You should be thankful a club like us would want you" while the other was "We'd love it if a player like you would want to play for us".
 
Who are you going to give us? Remember we desperately need a KPF that isn't a project player and we already have enough Motlops.
OK we'll start low - Pods, Ian Perrie, the 3rd and best McKernan brother (Trevor), picks 80-105, D Jarman's dietician and a 3-way involving Kim Kardashian.
