On 'AA this morning, after hanging shit on us re Burgoyne had to throw in this "persistent rumour that just wont go away"
What is it:
"Kane Cornes to the Crows"
So I'm sitting there going, I haven't heard that I think he's dreaming. He rweckons he has rung the Crows, and apparently they say:
"We would love to have him, we rate him, but it aint going to happen as he's contracted, and Port would want to much and would be too hard to deal with"
Rowie thinks it would be great as Craigy could get the best out of him to play a "different brand of footy", and he could finish top 3 in the B&F.
So the Port swipes I can see are:
1) Port would want too much for him. - surely with a contracted player we want what they are worth
2) Port would be too hard to deal with. - well no - we seemed to work Brad Symes and Adam Thomson out pretty quickly ... closer to the truth is Craigy wouldnt be prepared to offer up a player in case he hurt their feelings
3) Craigy could get the best out of him. - unless I'm mistaken, he just won the Merve Agars Medal, playing the style Choco wants him to play (rightly or wrongly), and will probably be in or around our top 3 B&F.
**** - I dont mind rumours, but if he's going to speak to the Crows, you would think he would speak to the club who he is contracted to.... I also dont mind if they consider Kane tradeable for the right deal, but this was just a way of Rowie denegrating our club.
Just another example of him starting rumours to discredit Port, and then sitting back and watchin rumours grow. (As Rucci pointed out this morning).
