Mega Thread Possible trades in 2015 for the Crows

[Red mist]

You didn't just mention those 2 in the same sentence?


I wake up properly and try reading again. Hope my eyes were just blurry.

No, I'm not comparing them. Seeing this is a possible trades thread all I said was now that Cameron is signed I look to another of their players in Hoskin Elliot with interest.

 

[Mattrox]

I'm just joking. .. ; ) all good.

 

[Cleric]

Looks like players are more willing to move and will leave the clubs hanging until the end.

 

[FR0GGY]

Would anyone know who he was if he didn't fly for marks? Don't want.

 

[Cap]

Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

If we were really serious about improving our game we could model it on the great new game Sarcastaball.

So you remember Basketball? Maybe we could develop something similar

 

[billy fragos]

Don't want to chase him. I only want loyal players at the AFC.

Then no aish or steven

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Then no aish or steven

More realistic to focus on SA boys ...aish ,Mayes, Murdoch, broomhead and Kennedy

Most are contracted but should be kept an eye on, hopefully we can lure Aish, certainly in with a chance

Mayes is a gun, but seems pretty happy in Brisbane

 

[footy4ever]

Quick! Somebody call in the SAS and kill this thread.

Would like us to throw a similar amount at Hawkins, probably not as many years but he'd be a massive get. That big FF that can crash packs with Tex at CHF who can lead and roam up the ground.

Probably won't happen but would love it if we were to target him.

Imagine that. Geelong land Dangerfield and we counter by landing Hawkins...be an interesting scenario...

(I still think Danger will be a crow for life)

A big offer would certainly make the cats a bit nervous.

Howe did Daniel manage to get away with using someone else's material

And get 4 times the likes!

 

[Sanders]

How's your sarcasm meter going Billy?

 

[skoobydoo]

Due to popular demand (I.e 4 likes), i feel like it's time to open another poaching thread... it's preseason, you're deluded in actually thinking we have things to discuss

Also before i write this thread, i would like royalties for any Advertiser article that is written about Jeremy Howe coming to the Adelaide Football Club as we all know andrew webster Michelangelo Rucci will used this as the source... just PM me so we can organize the details Rooch! Alternatively to The Advertiser, i am an unemployed student that isn't in a journalism degree... i think i'm more than qualified enough to be your next chief sports writer

Anyway, cast your minds back to a lovely Septembers day when redhorse created a rumor that we were after a big fish, we foolishly believed at the time that was Jeremy Cameron, due to the logic that he liked catching in big fish, therefore he is a big fish. It was flawless logic and with some delusions of grandeur some of us dreamed of luring over at Adelaide for a hefty sum.

That proved to be absolutely false with him signing a decent deal with that plastic Sydney side, no not the Swans, the other one.

So, here we are wallowing when it came to light that Jeremy Howe has put off contract talks with Melbourne... linked here.

Now lets look at the logical side of the cryptic clues we have been given:
We are after a "big fish" --> Lord (Jeremy) Howe Island is a big fishing destination
It is understood that we were after Howe a few years ago.
Howe is out of contract this season and has put off signing.

Now, look at that. Adelaide are rumored to be trying to sign someone, (understood that) we've shown previous interest and we have draft picks for once... it's all coming into place. The bait we've cast out was for the "disgruntled" Melbourne player. Will we reel him in for a second round pick? Will this deal capsize? stay tuned during 2015 season to find out more. Or discuss why this will not happen in here


PS: At Andrew Webster, i do enjoy your posting as it tends cause a bit of a stir, but i'm not missing that opportunity
PPS: Majority of this is fallacy, but it's still at a higher quality investigative piece than 99% of the articles produced by these following journos: John Ralph, Rucci, Mark Robinson on ASADA, anyone employed by afl.com, actually... majority of sports journos in AFL, Actually would of been easier listing journos that would of done a better job, Caro, maybe Emma Q.
PPPS: I have no shame dayton in "kinda" stealing your joke.
PPPPS: If only they were the Melbourne Sharks/Turtles/Platypuses/Sea Horses etc, instead of the Demons... the puns would of worked even better, on that note I definitely didn't make this thread as an excuse to use a fair few terrible fishing puns.

...would HAVE.... (x2)

 

[beartoo]

Interesting timing given today's events.

The plot. It thickens.

He must be leaving. The club said they are confident of resigning him.

 

[Pugsley]

Hear we're after Shane Watson now he's been replaced at 3.

 

[dylan123]

It's a situation where we don't really lose.

Offer what we would give to Dangerfield to Hawkins and see how Geelong react. Can they afford to go for Dangerfield as well as pay the money Hawkins would then require? As long as we hold onto Dangerfield or get Hawkins then we're in a good position.

Obviously Hawkins might love it at Geelong and sign for less, but I'm sure we could push that number up quite a bit which might then have Dangerfield question himself about leaving if he's earning roughly the same there or maybe less.

 

[Golumless]

Hear we're after Shane Watson now he's been replaced at 3.

Can we handle him trying to review every goal he's missed?

Maybe as a defender he might be worthwhile.

 

[Pugsley]

Cameron has signed a five year extension with the Giants!

Yes. Likes the tranquility of a silent crowd.

 

[phill1795]

He must be leaving. The club said they are confident of resigning him.

Yeah I really want to get James Aish as well as I have seen him develop since he was in the Norwood u16's. But I realistically don't see us getting aish just yet as he will spend at least 5-6 years with Brisbane and then we will hopefully get him when he is in his peak.

 

[phill1795]

So hopefully he will be around 24-25 when we get him

 

[Campbell's Chunky]

[Mego Red]

Brisbane are surely offering $900k/yr.

 

[Golumless]

Agreed, but it emphasises the point though. Knocked back 8 clubs and $8 million dollar offers to stay at a club that's in a terrible financial state with a tiny supporterbase. How is that even possible?

MILES less pressure on him up there than in front of 60k AFC fans and our rubbish media I guess.

Guess there is still those strong ideals of being a one club player and loyalty.

Ah well, there are always more fish in the sea.

 

[Mattrox]

Then there is the Ablett factor. Out of contract. Hasn't signed despite everyone thinking his signing was imminent last year.

Does he want to return to Geelong? If so Geelong would be in a quandry..... Not really, they snap him up and won't have cap space for Danger.
