Wow, surprised how much supporters overrate Harmes. He’s barely had 1 good season.
2018 he looked good in the back half of the season but beyond that he has been very average.

Agreed, its the first round compensation for Gresham that I'm questioning. He belongs in the 3rd round with Harmes. Maybe, just maybe we accepted unders for Harmes. 

 

 

Yep not saying Harmes is much chop, just saying Gresham isn't much better and they got a first-rounder for him. 

Compensation herbs and spices is a joke.

End of First. Which is 2nd really, which I think is fair.

Over time I’ve rated Gresham’s excellent agility. It hasn’t always translated to success but he’s been in poor systems.

Jeez. A future 3rd round pick for Harmes is cheap. I know he was depth but still........

Think you are over rating Harmes as a player.

Edited by demon3165

See above. Not saying he was by any means a world beater, just that the difference in quality of he and Gresham is not an end of first round versus a future third rounder. 

Anyway. It's done now so let's see what Lamby etc. can achieve.

I'm certainly in the camp of getting 2-3 good young players rather than trying to land pick 1.

Sound thinking. As the old adage suggests “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket!” Then again ‘you can’t make an omelette without cracking eggs.’

Club did everything they possibly could to try and get Tom Lynch this trade period and Richmond wouldn’t bite.

Some might be overrating Harmes, but some are equally overrating Gresham, as is the compo pick for him. Gresham has not put together a consistent season as an AFL footballer.

 

It's funny, we are supposedly the easy club to deal with and have a good reputation in trades.

We clear an AA and dual B & F Ruckman and a Premiership mid quickly and cheaply and yet offer good picks on fringe players and are still trying to get the deals done, after a week of the trade period.

And Hawkins?

Would have been interesting conversations between the Melbourne recruiting team and the Richmond team.

Yze/Tiges would have been mad to let this happen

I’m surprised we didnt offer the F3 we got for Harmes. They can go and get stuffed. F2 is too high IMO.

They are upset because they want Petty and possibly because we beat them to 11.

They will drag it out, Dodoro and now Mackie style.

Wow. Surely, Adelaide are burning their reputation within the industry with this sort of nonsense.

Something in the water in Adelaide......

we should seriously just block their calls now and move on.

Wouldn’t think McAdam’s Manager would be happy. In the memory bank, if another player is deciding between Crows and another club.

Yep, totally.

 

Adelaide are deluded. He’s OOC and can easily walk to us in the main draft or PSD. Other clubs aren’t going to waste their time on a 28 year old role player who doesn’t want to play there. If it was Rachele then Rankine then yes but McAdam? What dorks .

 

Well... he can’t easily walk to us in the PSD. Adelaide were expecting and happy to re-contract McAdam, and they have an earlier pick than us in the PSD. They could hold firm.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
