Adelaide also have Blues 2nd round pick (about 20) this year as part of the Gibbs deal and gave back their 2nd rounder (26ish). So they might have picks 2 (Carlton PP?), 9, 16 (from us) and 20.

    They want Lukosius.

    I’m sure they do. They can’t keep anyone who isn’t local at their club.

    Maybe, but Fogarty and Lukosius will be their key forwards for years to come, if they can get him.

    https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/crow-walks-out-contracted-mcgovern-demands-a-trade-20180828-p500d6.html

    Can see why the Crows must be a lovely place to be.....or not!

     

    "In June Fairfax Media reported that McGovern had sought to move club's during last year's trade period despite agreeing to a three-year contract extension in late August, because he felt the Crows had short-changed him in the deal.

     

    It’s believed McGovern had agreed to the Adelaide deal because the club said it had no more room in its salary cap.

    The Crows then signed Bryce Gibbs from Carlton in a deal worth more per season than McGovern."

    Funny how he is IN CONTRACT and walker hasn’t said a word but rather pic on a player who chose to leave and was OOC. 

    Walker is the worst captain in the afl. 

    The biggest sook going around imo.

    He will be going to Fremantle, they missed on Hogan and with Melbourne making the finals they see getting Hogan a long way off.  Freo have a lot of cash to spend, it will cost them their first and second round pick and in return they will get this bloke and pick the second round pick from Adelaide.

    Adelaide will package up picks for Carlton to get the Number 1 pick.

    He might need time to build up his idiot charge and unleash the mother of all stupid comments.

    I have faith that he'll say something stupid about this at some point. Not sure he can help himself.

    Over rated like his brother although hopefully doesnt turn out as lazy .

    A good year for Adelaide to stock up on youngsters from SA, as the draft is apparently strong on SA talent.  With Jerkins and Tex, they can probably do fine without him.  Not a bad play if they can get some high picks.  We have absolutely no need, and should have even smaller interest.  Can see Blues and Norf opening their cheque books on this one.

    Brian Taylor has gone whack at Tex, citing his hypocrisy over how he is treating McGovern compared to Lever last year.

    Brian Taylor went up in my eyes for having a go at that clown Tex.

    Walker is the biggest hypocrite in the AFL.

    Brian Taylor is one of the most unpleasant people I have ever met. At least you can have a beer with Tex.

    No wonder they lost the grand final:  "... it does go back to around about this time last year were they ostracizied the man who was going to play centre half back in a Grand Final team to the point where, as Sam Newman revealed on the Footy Show, he wasn’t even sitting with teammates in the airport coming to Melbourne for the grand final..." (Extract from that article).

    But Tex gives his buddy, Dangerfield hi5's!  Hypocrite.

    First Lever then the camp, Tex is almost singlehandedly bringing that club to its knees.  I wonder how long it will take bookmakers to take odds on his departure as Captain...

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.
