I do question when these articles are written. Does the advertiser choose when they're released? If so then it's perfect timing for them to get huge click numbers for that article.
If they want huge click numbers they shouldn't lock it behind a pay wall (admittedly, an easily circumvented one).

Yeah, I got the same impression yesterday but today's been a tad deflating. Still, nothing's really changed I suppose.
think all the rumours were revving the hype train to the redline, certainly ahead of whatever plans the club had for a Danger announcement.

this is also a very legitimate possibility.

they only want the clicks for the sake of conversions though, its a pretty weak model.

God, I hope you are right, but how does Ricciuto's article in tomorrow's newspaper fit into your theory?
My theory is that article was written a few weeks back before the Phil Walsh tragedy. Ruccutio then wrote a couple of pieces of Phil Walsh to put in the paper so they are now publishing this piece... Could also be part of the Adelaide cover up so they can have a monster announcement. There was no way the club would announce its biggest ever player retention signing with mark Aiston and penbo

I think the following has happened.
Danger decided just before walshy died to stay at the crows but due to the unforeseen circumstances could not announce it. The club does not want to announce it now as they are fearful the media especially the wank fest from Victoria will perceive it at he is only staying because of PW.

Now sanders and Alex have received info to suggest this. The club also anxious to boost the morale of the club and supporter base leak info to local media but also deny to keep in line with their strict contract policy of the club. I have also received info in the past week from a former board member who has all year played a strait bay but made a point to tell me he is now staying, so don't read into today's interview anything more then danger playing it safe and will announce when he time is right
Danger staying because of PW's death absolutely will be the narrative that gets run with. Already seen plenty of Twitter posts with stuff like "I thought he was gonna leave, but he'll feel guilty about leaving now, so he'll stay".

A rumored 2 year deal only reinforces the perception that he doesn't want to be at Adelaide and is only staying because he doesn't want to be the bad guy.

No, my point is - other clubs, like Hawthorn are now starting to put their heads into the picture.
seriously? that's just Rucci speculation.

Don't count them out. Don't count anyone out. We saw that with Buddy.
I agree, but its not as if Hawthorn are suddenly a player because Rucci dropped their name in an article.

Just typo Mark Ricciuto into google and the first link should work.

https://www.google.com.au/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CC8QqQIwAmoVChMIr6LI6ZbuxgIVAxemCh2Sjgsz&url=http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/sport/afl/its-time-to-review-free-agency-rules-writes-mark-ricciuto/story-fnp04d71-1227452775267&ei=PEGvVa-UMYOumAWSna6YAw&usg=AFQjCNF5cVGSrrSRVKvSqklf3BSU5jWNMg&sig2=wUAmAE86wXYhuXYVE2auaw

Edit: it worked before and I read the article.

Rupert is asking for an overview of the free agency system as the Buddy to Swans was unfair, the Frawley to the Hawks (Dee) received too much and the Crows won';t get fair compensation - should PD leave.
This subject has been covered many times before Roo has said it. Probably even he has referred to it in snippets of his articles in the past. I just think he is attempting to be retrospective and cover every perceived scenario. Well I hope..

Has Rucci ever had a scoop or does he literally just regurgitate every press conference and radio interview? Serious question.
He just regurgitates press conferences and radio interviews.

He has no sources.

No one likes him.

The only friends he has are the ones you pay for by the hour.

Sometimes he just straight up makes shit up. Remember how the Tippett saga was about us paying joel to live here? Meanwhile caro and Emma Quayle are all over the real story.

I just picture ruccci shrugging the next day, "ah well, I had a crack."

FFS how much does he want his ma and pa around when you have infants? unless he plans on feeding the kids milk direct from the cows in the paddock grandparents aren't a whole lot of use in the first couple of years anyway...
Possibly the most ridiculous post I've seen on Big Footy.
