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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?

        • Haha
