If he comes cheaply, he'd be handy. Pushes Isaac Smith to the wing and Brodie off half back.

    I don’t know enough about Brodie Smith, but if he is a walk up start to a half back role, then are we assuming either Salem and/or Rivers are likely to have different roles in 2021 further up the ground (ie: delivering into the f50)

    a significantly better player than saad for mine

    Yes, at his best he's a great user of the footy...

    Hasn't been as potent after the knee.

    What is Brodie Smith worth as a trade to Adelaide? Does anyone have a sense as to his realistic value? How do people see us potentially able to get Brodie, Brown and use a future pick plus players for GWS 1st round compensation pick?

    With this years 2nd round pick looking likely to secure Brown, we'd certainly have to get creative to facilitate a trade. I don't think he's worth a 1st round pick, certainly not GWS' compensation pick which will be around pick 9 (if that even eventuates in a trade for Preuss). If what people have said is true, we're looking at taking a pick like that to the draft for Finlay Macrae. Maybe next years 2nd pick gets it done or even next year's first with extras coming back could get it done?

    Smith is 29 next year. Couldn't be worth more than a 3rd rounder for a club that is rebuilding. Tmac might get us this pick needed. ANB might be used here also. 

    Brown for pick 23

    GWS will have a number of picks around that 9-15 mark after Williams, Cameron and Caldwell all get traded. I can see us packaging up a few picks (not necessarily next years 1st as I think this is overs) with Preuss and maybe another player (VDB maybe) to get one of these picks.

    Would ANB would be bundled in this trade?

    Not expecting a huge cost. but his best is very good, backing him to get back to his best. 

    he adds some dash to our half back line which we do need. Hibberd hasn't provided quite as much as he did at his best.

    I think this is the key barrier to some movement happening this off season, our lack of trade currency. If we can find suitors for the likes of the McDonalds, that'll enable us to get some of these deals done, otherwise it'll be an interesting time.

    Why is Smith not to play on wing ?'

    Has never played half back even remotely Ruth Hawks!

    I like Salem Up forward and Riv  will Play HB mostly with an occasional trip up the ground perhaps when required.

    Yes at 29 he may not want to go through the Crows rebuild. We might tempt him with a 3 year deal and a chance to be part of the finals action. I’d happily swap him directly for Tmcd and throw in the future 4th round pick that was the vogue in 2019 swaps.

    And we definitely don't need a post from you in every new player thread telling us what we need.

    Brodie Smith is a good player, who was on my list of players we should target. I would not offer a long contract though. 2 years max.

    • 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.
