Rumor: Billy Frampton to join Collingwood next year

Anyone heard this Frampton to Collingwood rumour?

Not much to tell. Just that the Pies are interested in him was what I heard. I would not expect he'd cost much of anything for them to bring in, Pies have 3 3rd round picks currently, might prefer to use one of those (with maybe us sending a future 4th back) on some depth, rather than another youngster is my guess. Certainly fits the mould of the type of tall, intercept defender that MaCrae seems to like to use and would provide cheap and ready replacement if a Moore, Howe, Maynard or Murphy type got hurt.

Apparently it's done. I imagine burger rings back our way... but I like burger rings

Rumor: Izak Rankine to join Adelaide next year

Source: Various

I have received some information attributable to a reliable former contributor to BigFooty with sources at a Victorian club. Please take all rumors with a grain of salt.

1. Izak Rankine has indicated to other clubs very recently that he wants to return home, the Crows are leading the race and have the most interest

2. A Victorian club has interest in Tariek Newchurch

3. Max Michalanney has been receiving a lot of interest from other clubs and is highly rated, but the Crows are a certainty to get him

Rankine. Yes. But the "shoosh" emoji was used. Guess it doesn't matter now.

Officially asked for a trade to Crows according to Ralphy.. 8 minutes ago..

 

[Scorpus]

Heard yesterday from the same source who told me back in May about Rankine > Crows we’re aiming to keep this years 1st
Apparently a 4 way trade in the midst Ade/WBD/PA/GC involving picks, Rankine, Dunkley and Rowe

 

[Scorpus]

Some guy rang 5aa today and said the Crows have someone else on the cards and we will know more in next 48 to 72 hours . Rowey was pressing him and he didn’t wish to give anymore info but sounded like he definitely knew something.

 

[Scorpus]

anyone else hearing the murmur of a local hyphen wanting to come home? …. not the famous ice bath hyphen… the other

Negative [Not Wanganeen-Milera] . Although could be the case he’s not the one I heard about today .
I don’t post often , actually haven’t posted in about six years , but I back the source of this one to be on the money . So much so I came on here to let it loose. Hyphen south Australian wants to come home . Not Horne not nwm…that’s all from me leave it there

 

[MRB37]

Still rumours Nicks has convinced another GWS mid to come over, gonna snoop around with the usual people to see if any names shake out.

 

[ams4crows]

Crouch is staying and told the club he wants to stay as he's partner/wife is pregnant, she's south Australian and doesn't want to move at this time.

So unless it's Port who want him Crouch is staying a Crow.

 

[Scorpus]

Caleb Poulter, would come home to SA play footy if there is an opportunity.

I've been told to watch this space

Hardly concrete, however from a player at ironbank who works at the crows indigenous program.

Apparently this is talk from a close circle if friends.

 

[Scorpus]

Heard today that Frampton to Collingwood is done.

 

[Volbeat]

Couple minor things
We spoke to JHF. Too many red flags.
Apparently this is also the case with Phillipou. No idea what they are though.
Also, we see Thilthorpe as our future 1st Ruck

 

[WeedsMullet84]

From the Bulldogs board

Crows asking if Jordan Sweet would like a trade home

Gives them more ruck back up after Frampton will likely move on

Sweet pretty set in Melbourne so would take a bit to get him over the line to return home

Dogs hoping to sign James Rowe as a delisted free agent but would happy trade a late pick to secure James and a future pick

Re: Phillipou red flags

This is flat out wrong.
