MANAGERS USING CROWS TO DRIVE UP PRICES?

AFL clubs believe players managers are using the Adelaide Crows to drive up the price of their clients, reports the Herald Sun’s Sam Landsberger.

The Crows have missed out on several big-name stars over the last year including Errol Gulden, Mason Redman, Hugh McCluggage and Elliot Yeo.


And while Adelaide’s interest in such names was reportedly genuine, there’s a view that the club’s interest has been strongly leveraged to boost players’ value.

“There is a belief managers are using Adelaide as a stalking horse to drive up the prices of their players,” Landsberger said on Fox Footy’s Midweek Tackle.

“Adelaide has missed out on a lot of players over the past 12 to 18 months ... they clearly went after them.

“(Giants director) Jimmy Bartel has said this publicly and other clubs believe it as well. Managers are using Adelaide, get an offer from them, then go back to the original club and get a better (deal).

“Sydney matched Adelaide's offer of 10 years for Errol Gulden. Sydney wasn’t offering Errol Gulden 10 years without that from Adelaide first.”
Awesome... we should maintain the rage to put pressure on other team's salary caps... but hopefully we can actually land a decent player or 2.
 
Sydney got him for that because he had gone backwards for the previous three years.

Was that due to circumstances? It certainly seems like it now - but how many people on this board were pro-Grundy a year ago? Anyone?

The discussion is comparing Grundy's trade value last year - when he was a reserves footballer - with Marshall's now.

It's ridiculous to compare them.


Grundy and Gawn couldn’t work together, they tried, it didn’t work. Eventually the gave up trying to play BOTH.

how are you the only person who doesn’t know that?
 
He’d be crazy to stay here, IF he has offers
Berry doesn't have other offers, and our offer obviously isn't that good, so he's put off signing to hopefully stake a claim as a best 22 player and therefore get an improved offer from us.

I've got him in my 'not sure' column, he'd need to go up a level or two to be a finals standard player IMO. 2022 is a long time ago now and required standards have changed
 
Are you talking about you?
Yeah nah, not falling for your usual diversion when you know you are wrong, keep to the argument . Your ridiculous assessment of Rohan Marshall as a footballer and his trade value as pointed out by anyone who knows anything about football including Tom Morris.

Sorry about going back to Tex but for comparison

Are you keeping Hawkins on your list for 2025?

Probably not but Geelong are supposedly contending for the flag so it makes more sense to manage him and focus more on direct win/loss. Squeeze everything out of him

We are trying to settle a forward structure for the next 5-10 years.

You know he works for us because he’s bald.

Oh… so someone claimed to have watched this player every game in the last 5 years, but it wasn’t you?

But we should just trust you bro?

How about a no
