Crows second only to dodoro/Essendon in the worst clubs to deal with stakes. Total [censored] holes

Peter Bell at Freo? He actually thinks he's a smart list manager 🤭

Strikes me that the clubs have lost control of the trade process (did they ever have it). Now it is simply a case of Player X of Club A saying I want to go to Club Y and Club A is forced to deal.

The only buffer is how many years left on Player X's contract but even that seems to count for little.

Were we to remove the need for player consent what would happen. Draftees have no say in where they go. Sure throw in some relocation costs but there has to be another way

If they are not careful and they ‘re-pick up’ a disgruntled player on the draft to spite them this will lead to a ‘restraint of trade’ lawsuit similar to the Bosman ruling that changed world football forever - your contract is up? That’s it- you can go anywhere.

The AFL mediator will step in and sort it out. He’s 28, OOC, not happy, wants to move to a club, more than appropriate compensation has been offered…

It will get sorted.

How embarrassment for Adelaide if a mediator needs to get involved. You’d think we are dealing with a trade for Marcus Bontempelli for goodness sake.

God forbid the AFL can no longer fabricate the desired outcomes (like Norfs compo)

Actually that wouldn't be so bad.

If we think Petty was the player who might have made the difference in two tight finals for next year at least he is untradeable

That only looks at one side of the equation and in retrospect.

it all depends on what we get in return

Independently, various of the trade journos/experts had us going hard for Lynch but also asking the question of Mckay and Hawkins. Take with a grain of salt of course but these kinds of rumours have been coming up fairly often. Who knows if there's anything in them, but a bit of smoke around.

Pass. Is 31 and had his worst season. No chance that anyone is giving up a decent pick for him.

Pick 1 and Darling for Pick 6 and JVR. Go big on King next year. Have plenty of Cap space. Good chance Curtain will be available for them at P6.

If Petty's going to leave anyway, I'd rather Petty for 10, 20 and McAdam, then pass 6 and 10 and future first to WC for Darling and 1.

We are a more than generous club to deal with, we don't pontificate and demand ridiculous picks/players like the Essendon, Freo and now the Crows. Stuff them they want a player we don't want give them a player, we've offered a 2nd round pick more than fair. Tell em "they're dreaming".

31 is not too old. Look at Hawkins. Tex Walker looked done but has just had a career best season at the age of 33.

Let the medical team run the rule over him. If they think he has gas left in the tank and can stay fit for a couple of more seasons, then he could be a good option. absolutely depends on his body. If we think it'll hold up then go for it.

So in other words you don't want to trade JVR....?

Yeah I'm not against this.

Fresh start in a new environment could rejuvenate him. 

Trust me, ask yourself, who you would you have rather in our finals this year playing up forward? Tmac or Darling..?

I know who'd i rather..

Darling should just be steak knives to any deal, so not sure how WCE think it will help bring in a raft of early picks as the headline suggests. I’d give a late 2nd rounder for him at the most. 
 

Or it could be pick 1, Darling and future 3rd rounder as an example, for pick 6, 11 and future first rounder.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
