Watching part 2 of Roosy's interview, mentioned he was heading to Hawaii in the 2nd part of trade week. Indicated we should be done by then.

Interesting decision, makes you wonder if some deals are already done.

Clark - Lumumba

Danger - ......

Frost - .........

According to the pinned thread (I pasted these few dates below), the second week is also the time free agency ends. From memory, they don't hand out compensation until the free agency deadline. Is this still the case? In which case, we wouldn't know for certain that we had pick 3 coming in.

Clubs can get an indication from HQ as to what their compensation will be before they're handed out. Whilst we cannot consummate any trades until the compensation is officially announced, we can still negotiate trades based what we'll be doled out.

Thanks. I hope by "indication" its a case of "you will definitely receive pick 3".

Really wouldn't want to lose loyal kids like Trengove and Toumpas, but with the market as it is I feel like we would be negligent to not explore ever avenue to acquiring Dangerfield.

He is one of the most marketable players in the league, and he's an awesome player to boot.

One concern is the head injuries though - how prohibitive are they?

he's the only person on the whole forum with a shred of credibility! He's a valuable resource! He's a national treasure!

...is this post made in jest?

What the ?

is this serious, the senior coach takes a holiday in the most important week once the season finishes? surely he can sun himself in early pre-season, when a senior assistant can run training.

All the trade stuff would be pretty much worked out prior, if not they make a phone call. No biggie.

What about a Bernie Vince scenario - last minute meeting and convincing from a coach...

Considering how important this time of year is, I am surprised he would be heading o/s

Hey, he should've just gone 6 weeks ago.

I don't think that was last minute. Roos called his folks prior to the trade period IIRC.

I agree that it isn't ideal but the fact remains that rarely do players go to clubs on a whim in the last few days of trade week. One exception would be Mitch Clark...

The are lined up weeks in advance and prepared and trade week is more about getting the deal done than convincing players to come.

wtf? it is somehow worse than any other player leaving any other club because the teams are from the same state? If anything it is MORE excusable because he doesn't have t relocate. I wish there was an unwritten law that no other Vic clubs could steal our players

Power and Crows hate each other more than any 2 other clubs in the country. They enjoy seeing each others team lose as much as they enjoy their own team winning.

If Tex (who is a crows favorite) went to Port they would burn his house down!!

The way I see it (not sure about GNF's mail on these details) is that our biggest rival in romancing Dangerfield would be St Kilda.

Any team would love him, especially sides of our calibre and having pick 1 and a lot of money freed up makes them a viable option for Dangerfield/Adelaide.

Barring any last minute hitch, Sam Frost will play for MFC according to his manager. The same source had not heard anything regarding the Dangerfield.

Just got told he has requested a trade following a massive offer

With Sanderson now sacked as coach [despite having two years of his contract to run], this may change a few Adelaide players ideas about whether they stay/go including Dangerfield. Let us hope that we can get a deal done!

He may fly possible suitors to Hawaii....

I'm pretty sure Roos has it under control. Or maybe you should phone him to advise him you know better?

We could get James Caan to play Roos and have him make ridiculous monetary offers to seduce people.

I can see it now,,

Sauce Dazzler?

That sounds positive if true.

Source not B Vince?

I preferred the story that you were under the family couch at the time Dazzle. Would have loved to see his father's reaction when he heard an unaccounted for "YESSSSS!!!" coming from under the furniture upon hearing Roos speak.

Thats hilarious

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.
