Redleg, if Melksham wants to play on next year I reckon we would be mad to not keep him on the list. He is exactly the sort of bloke to have driving his team mates in rehab, is a strong leader both on and off the field, and will create competition for spots in our 22 in the second half of the season. If word re McAdam's willingness to work hard are true then I cannot think of someone better than Melksham to encourage him to make the most if his short career is ideal - the bloke who missed years in his prime due to the Essendon doping program, didn't play in our premiership and did his ACL on the eve of this years finals campaign.

We can have that by making him an assistant coach, developing youngsters at Casey and maybe even playing for them, if he is able towards the end of the season.

Go walk through the streets of Adelaide and do the same.  

Oh is that what you do, is it? Go walking the streets of Adelaide asking random people what they think of Shane McAdam?

Is everyone on the streets of Adelaide talking about the McAdam trade?  I knew it was a bit boring there but that is a surprise!

Do ppl on Hindmarsh St /square have the ability to make informed opinions? 😜🤪

What's the difference between doing that and big footy??  Just people and their opinions.

Bigger sample size for one.

Well I guess the big difference is that you’re NOT actually walking around the streets of Adelaide asking random people their opinions on Shane McAdam, and the other thing is a collated list of actual opinions from a large amount of random Crows fans.

So you have been on big footy talking about every dees player you are happy is gone?

Crows fans that don't care about McAdem going won't be on there.  So all you are getting is one side.  The people I talk to which comes up almost everyday at work or social events are not prompted by a forum. 

And some do rate him, but most don't and couldn't care less if he goes

That would be my whole point.  The sample size is one sided

But they are Crow supporters who are not happy to lose McAdam. 
 

I’m a little confused now

Trav, unless you are a state politician, kissing babies your sample size is small. Even if you are a politician, your sample size is small. 
 

Does SA have a social scene? 😳

And big footy is a bunch of Crows nuffies who think a 50 game player is worth Petty.

Weidemen had played 50 games and kicked over 60 goals at the end of last yr, but not too many Dees supporters saying he is a gun and will make a top 4 fwd line

A bit like Grundy being worth pick 11. Even if Sydney are given a pick back…

Possibly on Big Footy!  Not many on here think that

Nice dart throw Johnno. 

The amount of drivel and filler thrown about this time of year from every media 'expert' is truly nauseating.

And now, see 'Melksham set to play on in 2024' thread. McAdam to be one of his projects: 'C'mon, son; make it hard for me to get back in the team!'

McAdam for a future 3rd round is the right deal. He’s not in Crows plans and wants out. Not in their view of a best 22 player.

That’s ok. Best “27” imv … that’s why future 3rd round (pick 54 ish in 2024 draft) is the option.  

Pick 39 for Jordon. Feels about correct weight for McAdam.
