A local Crows fan has reportedly drafted a strongly worded attack on the team he loves ahead of tonight’s AFL draft.

Sam Lewis has spent the last three weeks clinging to reports by unverified Twitter accounts that the Crows are ready to make some bold live trading moves to secure home grown talent Izak Rankine.

“He is the future of this club. Imagine Andrew McLeod mixed with Chad Wingard. Seriously, we need to draft him.”

Despite the Crows holding their strongest draft hand in history, Lewis confirms that unless the club somehow find a way to move into the top three in the draft to secure Rankine, tonight will be marked as a failure.

“If Justin Reid doesn’t trade all of our picks this year and next year for Izak, he can get f*cked.”

“This literally decides our fate over the next decade.”
