so believe the negative stuff posted, but don't believe things that don't make the Crows look bad?

Essendon weren’t going to give him up cheap, what makes you think they would have?

I would be happy if it looked like we could challenge for another flag after this year. If this year goes to shot and it looks like some of our core are on the way out, then I would want us to go to the draft.

who does he push out?
Despite what the media reported, and what we all think he was worth, Essendon offered him up cheap towards the end of the trade period in 2017, and neither is nor Port took them up on the offer.
Given his talents, I find that extremely surprising and it probably speaks volumes of where he was at mentally more than anything else.
Credit to both him and Essendon for turning it around, he’s a superb player. But yes imo, the boat has sailed and I think he will be with the bombers for a while longer.
Whats cheap?

I’d say Greenwood, B Crouch if he can’t get right.

Of course. Any club would do that. The question would be how would you feel about paying him north of $1m a season. He isn’t going to choose the crows because of the amount of money he can earn in Melbourne.
With Sloane’s new deal you can forget about any $1m a season player for the next 3-4 seasons I reckon. Sauce will free up a fair bit, but a lot of that will be needed to keep players on their next contracts.

Every single player in our midfield.
According to someone, that has been on the money time and time again.
Make of it what you will. I got shut down (of course, it’s the AFC board) when I mentioned it a few months ago amongst trade discussions.

Rowell is very good
Again, people probably won’t believe it, but was told a 3rd rounder.
I don’t believe it, whoever told you must be wrong.
Or made it up more likely.

I know you have a good source on this, but it goes against every previous Essendon trade to think this could be true. It HAS to be the other way around, surely.
I haven't looked at port's fixture but I tend to think that interstate sides need to be diabolical to finish bottom 3. Don't see Port being close to that bad
Well done, just read 6 pages and finally a name of a potential high draft pick.
That seems a pretty heavy discount on a contracted player taken at 3 the previous year. I couldn’t see 2 getting it done let alone the 20 to 6 upgrade.
If that’s the case then we made a big booboo...
I was quite disappointed that we weren’t able to work something for Francis in the 2017 trade period. He was a like for like for Lever, an elite talent with a clear reason for his struggles to that point and SA boy to boot.
I hope we weren’t too shy following Menzel...

Just my opinion but no way do I see Adrian Dodoro signing off on a 3rd round draft pick for a lad that they had invested so heavily in up to that point, just goes against a decade of Dodoro's history of dealing. He didn't get the reputation of being an absolute r-sole to deal with for no good reason.
