Rumour Speculation, Rumours, Lies Thread 2025 - Part 2

[Scorpus]

Trade Period Summary

• Adelaide trade in Finnbar Maley (link)
• Callum Ah Chee has NOT been traded in, and will come to Adelaide via the PSD

 

[Syd Crow]

Just on all this, could you ever see the Adelaide Crows hiring a coach who wants to immediately move on three star premiership players in one off season before even coaching a single game?

Closest we've had is the man himself, Blight.

 

[fuic08]

Not sure how to take this.

Guessing they told him he's having a role change and will have to train for it in the ressies. Or leave.

 

[feenix67]

Didn't sack 3 premiership players though...

Yeah true, although they won flags somewhere didnt they?

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Umm Umm ?
I think many have done that on this board. You sound like a upstanding poster with no faults
I personally value Jeffcrowe especially draft time.

Was one of the board's best posters ....yet another allowed to be driven off the board

When Bicks and Wayne are your two biggest fans, it's time to take a good long look at yourself...

Blight

MELB have just destroyed any trade value they may have had for Oliver .....is he the better option now, given his expected trade value, compared to Petracca ?

Oliver can only play Midfield ....that was proven during this season, with failed trials at HB and HF

 

[ams4crows]

How on earth do we get Sharp?

We aren't getting him nor are we getting any of the other top rated SA players this draft

 

[jackster83]

Doesn't ring a bell.

The closest we had was Blight moving on McDermott, McGuinness, A. Jarman and Weidemann even though none of them were premiership players, although they were seniors.

Yeah, just did some wiki'ing and it was the end of 2000 that he started the mass culling.

Many? Not sure who you hang around with.

I know I haven’t done it and do you know why Saint Jeff did it? Because I questioned some of our wins, our ball movement and Nicks. He came on here after the Collingwood game pissed and carried on. Well my concerns were valid hey?

Now we all do stupid things drunk, but most of us do the right thing and apologise if you’ve done something wrong. No, not Jeff, he doubled down then cancelled his account.

Yes he was good come trade and draft time but I don’t know what happened to him, we had a PM going for years and got on well, but he turned into a knob.

30 year old off a serious injury choosing between being the main battering ram in a 4 man rotation in a team that crapped the bed starting 3 weeks from finals compared to coached by a 3 time flag winner and sharing time with Anderson, Rowell, Miller and others that just won an away final and losing to the eventual premiers in week 2. Purely on a football aspect, Suns are miles ahead. But there's a lot more to these decisions and we're obviously still a pretty decent chance, so hopefully we gain ground in other important aspects.

Crows 3-4th flag faves 9-1
Suns 9-10th 15-1

 

[Betts are off]

I wonder if Kozzy gets "homesick" again with all this turmoil happening at DemonsHQ. Man, you can foresee that rumour dropping when they are 1-10 next year.

And when I say Kozzy will be homesick, I mean it with this level of sincerity.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Not sure how to take this.

You would see the funny side too if you’re on $1.3 mil for the next six years and just been told you’re playing VFL.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

He picked a hill to die on and couldnt bring himself to admit he was wrong

He sooked and left

Geez, I missed that.

Will he return under an alias?

 

[GreyCrow]

Geez, I missed that.

Will he return under an alias?

Already did

So in short...

Dees want Oliver to leave, but he prefers tp stay.

Dees prefer to keep Petracca, but he has left the building.

Devilish times as Demons.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Yeah, just did some wiki'ing and it was the end of 2000 that he started the mass culling.

Yep, you're right. Koster, Bond, Ellen and Connell were all given the flick at the end of 2000.

Mind you, despite Bond and Ellen's heroics, they were always role players rather than out and out Stars.

 

[ams4crows]

With Miochek gone and Collingwood not really having any good talls up forward suprised they aren't interested in JUH even if it's for one year while they wait to offer Ben King

Option #1

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Already did

A cromulent one at that.

 

[Mutineer]

Already did

News to me, do tell.

 

[Crow till I die]

I wonder if there is an angle to trade a player to Melbourne as part of an Oliver trade if we are going to go for him?

 

[Mutineer]

A cromulent one at that.

Don't think so, hey that's shorty
