No argument from me on his commentating being well below par. Wouldn’t know if he makes or doesn’t make stuff up. The rumours on up to 10 Crows’ players though have been strong for the last two months, more interested to see if it’s worthwhile poaching one of them. I hope we dip our toes in the water in regards to Laird.

I'd love us to go after Laird, Salem could move onto the wing and we'd strengthen 2 key positions instantly.

According to Dwayne Russell! Seriously can't believe any other media outlet would use him as a source, has to be the worst of all the commentators who makes things up to suit his port or cats agendas. 

As much as I can’t stand Derrwayne he is well connected to people in Geelong, so I reckon there is merit here.

If we were to split the pick, I would very happily hand one of them over form Laird.

25 years old, 2 x All Australian, Best and Fairest winner, prolific ball winner and good user of the ball out of defence... sounds like what we've been crying out for for 10 years.

 

If we split the pick, we could offer then next year’s first (18) rather than 12/13 this year..... (just sayin’!)

Offer them our 2020 first rounder for Keith and Laird and back ourselves to improve next year.

Back our fitness staff to manage our defenders so they can front up and play more regularly.

If we go for Keith and Laird it will only be because we've lost Frost, won't trade for Langdon and possibly have little faith in Jetta and Hibbo playing with any continuity.

Our priority should be smart forwards before more defenders.

I feel Hibbo might be cooked to be honest. I hope he can bounce back to his best but he has been poor since his AA year. 

Laird would be a good replacement for him. Cant see crows moving him on though, hes a gun!

I'm with a few posters. Hibberd is done. Has lost a couple of yards of pace and even though the effort is there, he's a shadow of the  2017 All-Australian.

Nev is a different player. More traditional lock-down of opposition's best small forward. Not sure he has long left either.

So Laird makes complete sense. He's the best going around for the role he plays but is easily worth a first round pick.

Offer them nothing happy with the backline if it gets on the field. Just happy with Tomlinson, Langdon and Elliott that will do me. Add Anderson and a small forward in the draft and I'll wet my pants.

I think Langdon will play further up the ground so that won't be a factor. but i think we desperately need on field leadership and experience and Laird can provide that and is a proven performer for right now. 

Keith i quite like as a player personally and would rate him ahead of Sam Frost. Frost does some special things but his fundementals of footy aren't brilliant.

Agreed.  But not quite that excited!

Meaningless whisper unless @Ethan Tremblay can confirm it!

Basically a done deal to Brissy is what I’m hearing, make no mistake I’m of the understanding it could happen. #ETtheoriginalwhisperer. Also just heard his nickname at the Crows is ‘Basil’, interesting times ahead.

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
