Surely heads roll if we land ANB only. You can't talk that way and come out with a packed of chips (original).

 

[BunjiMac]

Crows admin and recruitment are too busy pushing this prioritise others crap when elite sportspeople want to prioritise winning.

Who wants to come play for a team with preschool like values where it's just about trying hard and not about results.

The "diverse" crows board love that crap coming out of Nicks mouth and without stronger football voices to challenge these ideals they think he's the Messiah and even extended his contract ahead of time because they were so afraid of him being poached.

Make no mistake this all starts at the board level and trickles down to give us a weak club with all the wrong values that is laughed at from the outside.

And we give them a 2nd ... Got a player who will only play 3 years of he's lucky

 

[Crow till I die]

And we give them a 2nd IN A VERY STRONG DRAFT ... Got a player who will only play 3 years of he's lucky

FTFY

 

[mcleod at 50 lines it up]

What I find annoying about posters like that is if JHF played for us he would be elevated to top 5 players in the club

I can see JHF winning or being suspended and winning 2 Brownlows

Agree lowers the standard

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

I’m not so concerned about Luko although how the **** were we not a shoe in with a guy that grew up barracking for the club.

Cumming on the other hand fills a definite need for us and all he’ll cost is salary cap. If we miss him, burn the house down.

Surely this was a red flag that this guy was out of his depth trying to bluff the afl / saints and looking like a complete fool and somehow he's gone downhill from here

Regardless of what the fan base thinks of luko the club had been chasing him for a long time and frankly i am disappointed because we need some more classy talent.

This is the concern. We have the young and exciting list, the trade capital and the salary cap. Yet we lost out to Port why is that? One can only assume we lack appeal in certain areas.

Luko wants to play finals. He can not trust us in this area. Which falls back on the coach, the quality of our leadership group and how we perform.

 

[ams4crows]

And we can't. It's hilarious isn't it

Probably paying Murphy, Jones and Milera 650k a year each.

Seems like something dumb that we would do, paying overs for mediocre players who never reach their potential

 

[bettingonbetts]

Finished work with a wine and read this thread. Damn we are a negative bunch.

Luko is only a slight loss IMO, we have Fog and TT and I understand luko could’ve played that Lynch role but I think we would have had to pay and give a LOT for him and he’s not what we need at our club.

Cumming has not chosen a team yet and I think that he backs crows in his Channel 9 interview. I’ll be severely disappointed if he does pick port.

Port has definitely done some better trading over the year however they also have got some duds. JHF is going to be the best player in the afl undoubtably at some point in his career.

FA hasn’t started and neither has the trade season. ANB is a great get and I agree it will be disappointing if we only walk away with him but SURELY we don’t. There is nothing to suggest this is the only player we will walk away with this trade period, it’s not like it’s the last day of the trade period.

 

[jbanger]

That Josh Money tweet says that Perryman is going to Collingwood but due to his close relationship with Cummings then Cummings is going to Pooort. How does that make sense?

Bingo

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

Always fun to see which journos have contacts at which clubs.

Josh Money was adamant about Dowling being the sub one week, which was never happening, he put two and two together and got five. Whoever his source either just feeds him bad info or lies to him or he just speculates based on minimal info.

Hopefully you're on the money and Josh isn't

 

[crow2crow]

this was after the fool said crouch could leave and he couldn't regain position

 

[NTRabbit]

That Josh Money tweet says that Perryman is going to Collingwood but due to his close relationship with Cummings then Cummings is going to Pooort. How does that make sense?

He was trying to say that getting Cumming gives Port a last chance to talk Perryman into joining them instead of Collingwood

It's been quite a day ....there's been celebrations going on since Lukosius made his choice ....another step towards a Crows Flag ....Draft Capital preserved
