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.

Pyke gone, crows in a bit of disarray.

Thats the only reason this seems plausible.

Why would the crows let an AA player walk out otherwise.

Maybe, I think he makes a heap of stuff up.

Jon Ralph came out an hour ago and said Laird was definitely staying.

A few more Crows will now stay too.

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’!)

I'd be having a chat with his management. 

Are Adelaide going to be able to field a team next year?

 

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
