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.

There but for the grace …

    Not really a big shock considering his circumstances.

    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

    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.

    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)

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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #32 Tom Sparrow

      The rugged Sparrow’s career appears to have plateaued in recent years. He makes the side on a week to week basis but he is unable to establish a foothold in the team’s midfield and arguably performs best outside of the contest in a forward position without being a goal kicker. He remains a good honest foot soldier but is not a star.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #33 Tom Fullarton

      Fullarton managed a couple of games in the first half of the season but soon found himself back in the VFL. There, he found a niche at centre half back but it was not enough to retain a place on the list at season’s end.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #35 Harrison Petty

      Entering 2025, it looked as if Petty would be secured in a defensive position, but plans shifted and he spent more time forward, averaging just over a goal per game throughout the season. It remains uncertain which area of the ground he will be expected to cover under the new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

      The dynamic small forward, possessing an innate ability to generate excitement with his explosive play around the goals, successfully transitioned into a role that afforded him more time in the midfield. The club also negotiated a long-term deal with Pickett, thereby eliminating any prospect of a move west by their star young player.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #37 Kade Chandler

      For a few years now, he has been a reliable, hard working pressure forward, but in 2025, Chandler elevated his performance, becoming an integral component of the team with enough versatility to play effectively on a wing from time to time.
