Carlton bent the Crows over. If we had held out on the Lever deal we could have done the same. Unfortunately we think its a good idea to get trades done early rather than get a good deal

Carlton had the player. 

Adelaide had the player. 

WTF are you on about.

Imagine if Lever had walked into the draft and been picked by another club, because we had hard balled a deal?

The Clubs planning would be in disarray. 

We got the player we wanted, a gun 21 year old

Agree we would have looked silly if we had missed out, and there would have been a lot of clubs lining up. If we had gone into the draft, we could have missed him.

Psychologically and tactically, it is difficult when both player and club commit so strongly to one another and clearly had for some time. When there is that trust and commitment, it is natural that the club wants to take no risks, get the deal quickly, and enjoy the satisfaction of pulling off the move.

Surely we are looking to package up two picks to get back into the first round.

 

 

If the Bullies couldn't get back into the first round with lower picks than ours then we'll struggle.

Pies 2nd round next year for a cat B rookie who hasn't played a game and swans 3nd round next year. I've been laughing for 20 minutes. Have a read on pies big footy on this trade. Funniest thread I've ever read.

Link?

No matter how much everyone bags Essendon or Port, they have delivered this trade period and will be pushing for the same top 4 spot we want. They may not do well in finals but they'll be strong in the H&A. Stringer for those picks is a steal for them

As it unfolded, Crows were keen to get the Gibbs deal done. They knew they were going to lose Lever and needed the picks. They had the player, we had the picks, could have done the deal for 10 and 27 if we held out. No other clubs had a look in.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    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.
