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?

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

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
