[AtypicalHorse007]

Is a 30 year old Hind a need?

Might be for our SANFL side, to be honest I am not sure just posting gossip following the movements of Ben Hobbs.

, the summer of dreams

 

[Thrillthorpe7]

soldo and nick hind, the summer of dreams

Soldo is heading back to Vic if that happens, no idea where that rumour about the Crows came from but his issue is with living in SA and has been compounded by falling behind Sweet and Visentini at Port

 

[croweater 41]

soldo and nick hind, the summer of dreams

I prefer these two in my dreams.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

GC: Noble, Adel F2
Coll: Keane
Adel: Luko

We give way too much.

should be collingwood's second not ours.

 

[hippyhippy]

Agreed, would see it more as:

ADL:
OUT- Keane / IN- Luko

COLL:
OUT- Noble, F3 / IN- Keane

GC:
OUT- Luko / IN- Noble, Coll F3

Does gc have alot od academy prospects in the coming years?

 

[Pea Nut]

Does gc have alot od academy prospects in the coming years?

Yep, they've got some genuine quality coming through.

 

[Mutineer]

Given that Butts and Murray both get injured regularly, you need at least 1 KPD that has actually played the position before as a backup. Borlase is cheap and is ok until we get a better backup.
Gollant is a hard delist.

Gollant has really never been given any exposure in defence bar for 1 SANFL game, he may be a bust in defence but I'd sooner put 12 months into him actually training in defence during the preseason, again something that has never happened always training with the forwards.

Plenty of former forwards have swung back into defence and been successful
James Sicily, Liam Jones, Darcy Moore, Josh Battle but a few....should I go on?

 

[CromradeCromulent]

 

[ams4crows]

This is shaping more and more like he's going to a Vic club

 

[Firewalker]

Rowey saying on 5aa a new position on the executive has been created to be filled by an outside person with no football ties but with sporting ties - sounds like more a head of People and Culture position he says

Awesome. More of what we need, board members with no football experience.

 

[MRB37]

Rowey saying on 5aa a new position on the executive has been created to be filled by an outside person with no football ties but with sporting ties - sounds like more a head of People and Culture position he says

I dunno, we could just hire a competent head of football or coaches rather than creating more executive positions that won't have much of an impact day to day working with our playing group.

 

[Coopers]

Contracted until end of 2024
Sam Berry
Ned McHenry
Lachlan Gollant
Patrick Parnell (R)
Elliot Himmelberg
Hugh Bond
Taylor Walker
Chris Burgess( unsure on length)
Will Hamill (R)
James Borlase (R)

Bond should get a contract. Walker will get a contract.
Can Borlase and Hamill remain on rookie contract?
Berry will be traded and the rest could easily be delisted.

That's 10 players on the list there though. Keeping Bond and Walker leaves 8 delistees. That's... a lot.

Schoenberg probably in that group too. Smith you'd think as well.

Silver’s review got right down to the nub of it. What fools we’ve been! We just needed a new head of HR!

 

[jackster83]

Another mate of Roo or Olsen looking for a job?

 

[MRB37]

Another mate of Roo or Olsen looking for a job?

They'll probably try and hire Rupert Sapwell again.

 

[Mutineer]

Taranto is a massive upgrade on Simpkin

Taranto is hugely overrated, can't hit a target by foot to save himself. 49.7% Kicking Efficiency, 12.3 kicks less than half effective. BAll Burner.

 

[Mutineer]

Phil Smyth?

 

[Firewalker]

Silver’s review got right down to the nub of it. What fools we’ve been! We just needed a new head of HR!

He’s followed it up by saying the role sounds like it will be more than HR, they’ll be involved in some football stuff as well

 

[Firewalker]

Phil Smyth?

Working with Chris Fagan still isn’t he?

 

[WeeBlake]

Phil Smyth?

Raygun

 

[Crows I Am]

Another mate of Roo or Olsen looking for a job?

Sounds like a good job for this guy

 

[BunjiMac]

Seriously another People & Culture role is the LAST thing the crows need.

P&C people just search for and create P&C issues.

We need better football people.
