Rumour Tales from the Henley Beach Cafe: CROWS 2021 RUMOURS

[ams4crows]

Wonder if the approved new facility involves a liquor licence on site?

I'm interested in Brodie and CCJ, I don't think we're realistically in the Hunt for Caldwell when there are a few Vic clubs lining up for him.
Hatley could end up being pre season draft not sure if a need but better than Port having him

Why would they?

The days of a "clubroom" post-game are well and truly dead in professional sports (not just AFL), and if we were moving away from West Lakes, all it'd cause is to off-side whoever is there currently and make any bid have a lot more opposition to get though. Best you could hope for is we partner up with a pub or two that's already in the area and a get a faux clubroom thing going, similar to the Alberton Hotel.

What makes you think Will Brodie is more a want than Jackson Hately?

Brodie is contracted until 2022, Hately is out of contract.

Nothing in particular, just interested in what Brodie would bring here

Rumour from chappie. Another debut on the weekend. Worrell may get his chance

He was training with the "competitive" group today, so yeah he's in.

This is getting out of hand. I'm struggling to keep up with all the new numbers/players to learn.

Oh how I long for the good old days of continuity.

permaban this guy.... stat!

 

[BACCS]

So the rumour is that we negotiated paying off Gibbs gambling debt to get him to retire

Well, there goes our salary cap next year

I also heard recently from someone with connections to his Dad that the gambling debt is a myth, but the constant speculation about it has led to his mental health issues over the last couple of seasons. His wife’s miscarriage recently also took a massive effect on him mentally, understandably. As you’ve seen with the camp, the club prefers to say nothing than address rumours like this.

Which is seriously poor PR.

 

[BACCS]

Which is seriously poor PR.

Agreed on the camp stuff, but the club can’t be commenting on personal situations unless it’s obviously in the extreme scenario like Elijah Taylor. The Gibbs gambling rumour has never been anything but a rumour on social media.

I wonder who he will replace shorty???? It s not easy seeing Mackay you think would come in for Gibbs, Talia giving Butts the arse, and Tex stopping Billy from coming alive. Suggestions??

Kelly.

 

[bigman]

Kelly.

i thought of him too. Probably most likely. He just does not fit Nicks gamestyle and with Tali returning we cannot afford to have 3 lock down defenders. It puts our backline completely out of balance, particularly for sling shot football.

Maybe he will be one of the players Rucci is stating will leave at seasons end. He may have read the tea leaves and seen his full time days in defence are in danger of being over at the Crows with Smith, Milera, Brown, Talia, Macasey, Butts, Hamill, McPherson all likely to be picked before him in future with possible exception of Butts.

A "liquor license" doesn't mean a clubroom or pub.

If the club is going to spend this sort of money, then it would want to make the most out of the facility. That would include having a cafe (which was highlighted in the first concept drawings) and expect like most cafes, they will sell wine and beer

I expect they would also want to host functions and conferences, so would need to provide alcohol for similar occasions.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Unsure. But as has been stated before everything checks out.

Wines goes and gets Port a good Pick.
Crouch goes to port on the same money.
Crows get pick 2
Crouch and gf stay in Adelaide

Watch this space

No way in hell I'd allow that if i was running the club. Never, ever make your rival stronger

 

[GameofSloanes]

I don't think Wines wants to leave though?? Well not any more.

I heard a rumour about why he wanted to leave too. But that reason was traded instead

 

[1990crow]

Our rival is the rest of the competition. Need to stop giving a s**t what Port do.

 

[latinoheat]

Chad or Polec ?

 

[Jack McKraken]

Chad or Polec ?

Guess again. Not that I think the rumour is true

 

[FR0GGY]

Guess again. Not that I think the rumour is true

Frampton, Howard or Ryder?

 

[Mego Red]

Whoever get Crouch will be made stronger, so I don't know what you think they will do.

 

[CrowMike]

Allegedly there’s photos of a former captain..

I’m confused.

 

[GameofSloanes]

Why would we make Port of all clubs more likely to win? If he's going to go, make it to a club that won't impact our market share, exposure, sponsorship etc

 

[hey shorty]

If he says he wants to go to Port, he's 90% sure of getting there
