Adding to this, the pies gave him an ultimatum - if you wanna play your gonna be the sub and if not, don’t play. He’s refused to be the sub from what I’ve heard and it’s pissed coaches + players off. Application and professionalism has been questioned since signing that new deal

Imagine the chaffing

🫨🫨🫨🫨

A big Vic club on track for finals has now entered the frame, some what 6 weeks ago — which explains the stall in talks. Could be setting up for a Buddy Franklin-style hijack. Or should I say, a HOKjack 👀

Funny how this bloke whinges when his club gets the softest draw, are the only Vic side with their own home ground, and still benefit from brown paper bags and dodgy third-party deals

Expect a decision on the Izak Rankine incident within the next 24 hours. Based on precedent, you’d tip a 4-week suspension — but with the comments now public and the AFL’s tendency to cover things up, don’t be surprised if he walks free.

Is it just me, or do SA clubs genuinely think every homegrown player is destined for them? The arrogance is unmatched 😅

Middle guy is wearing a bedroom poster as a t shirt 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Dean Laidley areas. This fella gotta be a meth’d up drag queen or some shit

Quinton Narkle begged his way onto a list via SSP this year, got multiple chances, and now retires. AFL system’s a farce — rewards blokes chasing a gig through their wife’s cousin instead of genuine hard workers. AFL needs to look into this or change it

As of last week Harley Reid was 50/50 to stay. I believe he’ll re-sign, but this has dragged out longer than expected. He wants to stay — the ball’s in West Coast’s court. I’ve been wrong before, but I think this gets settled by next week, if not the week after.

The war of words between Crows and Pies fans on my timeline is pure theatre. One side suddenly posturing as defenders of the gay community, the other deflecting Rankine’s actions while going all-in accusing the rival supporter base of being racist.

Knocked the homophobia into him

Is this why people can’t stand the Crows more than Port? This bloke’s nothing but a PR machine – pure drivel and slop spilling. The smell is the shit coming out of that snack hatch of yours rowey.

Hearing that part of the crows appeal to have Izak Rankines ban reduced, he has come forward as a gay man to the AFL

If Brody Mihocek was to exit Collingwood, hearing Melbourne would be his most likely landing spot. The potential appointment of Nathan Buckley as Demons coach could play a big role. St kilda and Richmond also interested 👀

Have the Crows fan base become the most disliked this week? Surpassing Collingwood is no easy task, but the constant deflection and fabricated claims about who said what have certainly pushed them close.
