Sorry to sound like an old gossip...but I just spoke to someone who was at the All Australian dinner (corporate guest). Whilst in the toilet, they were standing near Eddie and an unnamed Hawthorn board member. Discussion centred around the selection of the new coach (at that stage not released to the media) and that Crawford was DEFINITELY on his way to Sydney, with the finer points of the deal to be sorted out (happy with player for player situation).
Normally, I view this kind of tale as "Urban myth" type rubbish myself, but given the accuracy of the first part of the information, the stuff around Crawf may also be true.
FWIW, I think SC is an old hack, and the Swans would be insane to go for him at his age.
