The second-highest draft pick in Adelaide’s history, Fischer McAsey, has walked out on the club in a big pre-season shock at West Lakes. McAsey was drafted at pick 6 in 2019 draft and played 10 games for the Crows.

Not really a big shock considering his circumstances. 

 

What happened Dazzle?

I dont recall there being much of a problem with interstate players getting home sick and leaving in the 80's & 90's. 

Maybe theyre just too young straight out of the draft.  Clubs should give precedence to local players. How would that policy have gone  if we hadnt picked Jacko? Who was the first vic player after LJ?


Bickley said they played him too early in 2020. His only 10 games where in his first year as a raw tall. Then covid hit and he was isolated with no friends or family. Would have been tough

at least he can always look back on the day he kicked 6 on me in a schoolboys game in 2018 and smile

How did he go in the other 3 quarters after you were moved off him?

There were plenty.

Farmer played for MFC for several years.

He didnt jump ship  barely having played for his new club like these guys are doing today.

Farmers son is elligible under father/son rule.

What are his options for 2023? 

Can he be released to play in the VFL and potentially be selected in the mid season draft?

He pulled the pin sighting a lack of passion for the game to play at the top level, so good luck with that.

Probably Hayden Young, a great kick who's signed a 5 yr deal with with Fremantle. Strange a Victorian kid signs with a WA club, but Jackson got homesick.

alright settle it wasn't that bad

I wouldn't think so as he'd still be contracted to Adelaide even though he has walked out.

I don’t think the Crows would stand in his way, but it doesn’t read like a situation where he’ll bounce straight in to VFL and back in to the draft.

My guess is he’ll either play local footy with mates or take a break entirely.

Then sign with Geelong in the offseason (that’s a joke, or is it)

Didn't scale the heights expected. Career is fin-ished

What are you angling at?

If Adelaide cast a wide net they should be able to find  replacement

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
