Sa health don’t want football/anything
If it wasn’t for Grant Stevens we’d probably still have major restrictions and no crowd at AO. He’s been the one that’s stopped Spurrier from shutting us down completely.

Nope.. only Volbeat who said its 50/50.. the club has done all it can so far and we just have to see what dawson decides.. also that dawsons family are all mad crows fans and want him to go to crows and the other rumour is he is in quarantine waiting to get out and meet with both port and crows..

Port poster that goes by the name “young gun” or “young blood”, I cant remember, is saying that he heard Dawsons manager (ex crow Doughty) say last wednesday it was between swans and crows..

Who knows.. maybe the port claim has been pit out there to panic crows into coughing up more coin.. maybe the lad himself just wants to play finals footy immediately and choses port for that reason..

All speculation.. which will no doubt continue.
Tonight's effort got the crows over the line.

It should.

The end is coming for Port.

The kids are good, but like us if their senior guys don't fire a shot they don't win.
If powaa are smart they will begin the rebuild. If not they will take the geelong dad's army path and cost themselves another 5 years. Their opportunity for a flag was last year.

I'm sure AFC will offer more money than any other team, so that won't be an issue.

It's going to be a question of whether he would prefer to go to a contending team on less money or a rebuilding team on more money.
they arent winning a flag with that list.. its good enough, with the aid of the softest draw year after year, to get to the finals.. but its just not premiership material..

and given they rely so heavily on their older guns to fire.. another year older for boak, gray and dixon aint gonna help.
 
Hypothetically, would we be happy with Dawson and pick 12 for 4?

Hypothetically gives us Dawson and one of Draper/Roberts for Pick 4.

You don't reckon a finals humiliation says a bit about where the club is going ??
The crows are closer to a flag than pear. Dawson should consider that and realise that his final contract at 28 will be when we are contending so we may overpay.

Supposedly for a team who recruit for needs and "get the player they want", they haven't recruited that elite midfielder (Merrett would have been a great get if they had chased him successfully) and KPD. All their recruiting has either push other developing players out (i.e. Lobbe for Ryder, Ryder for Lycett, Rockliff (Boak look cooked playing HF 3-4 years ago but clearly isn't cooked) or duds in Dixon (mid 1st rounder for him WTF and worst AA tall forward in history), Motlop (soft), Fantasia (look what happen to Rozee's form and soft), Watts.
