We know who they want. They want Petty.

Sadly, this pursuit of McAdam has backfired spectacularly on us. 

Why.

You don't seriously think they have just asked for Petty because McAdam wants to come to us do you?

He is a target and was long before McAdam decided he wanted to leave.

    Because Petty’s going to spend the next 2 years (if he’s with us that long) attempting the toughest job in football (key forward for Melbourne) knowing he’d rather be sitting at CHB for the Crows making 7 figures next year then 800k after.

    Even if that's true, it has nothing to do with McAdam. 

    The two issues aren't related.  Adelaide's interest in Petty is unsurprising.

    He will be very happy to play CHF and win another flag at Melbourne. He is not unhappy at Melbourne. Never indicated that he was. 
    Let’s stop blaming the club for literally everything that doesn’t go perfectly to plan.  
     

    I bet my bottom dollar McAdams deal gets done. Adelaide are just having a cry because we won’t trade them Petty and Oliver for their crappy draft picks. 
    McAdams is completely unrelated to them wanting to lure ready made guns to fill the gaps in their list. They’re desperate to go all out while Walker is still around and in top form. Can’t blame them. But also they’re being absolutely ridiculous in how they’re going about it.

    Happily walk away from this. We control the trade, not Adelaide. They must have him confused with Rankin.

    They also want to cover off for a life without Tex.

    The two (us wanting McAdam & them Petty) are unrelated.

    Petty was never up as a required Premiership player with 2 years to run,  yet they've then tried to link Petty in as part of the deal.

    They've then stormed out of the room in an attempt to make out that we're the ones not playing ball.  Lmao!

    Talk about childish.

    Petty was never going nor was he ever going to be part of this trade period full stop DS.

    How is a concocted cockamame trade dreamt up at West Lakes Chardonay cellars on us?

    Let alone going to have some detrimental effect / outcome on HP?

    I like McAdam. McAdam wants to come to the Demons. The Demons want to give reasonable compensation for him cause we're just cool people like that.

    Crows don't want to let McAdam go for reasonable compo and want to force contracted players over instead.

    Doing the maths, Adelaide sucks.

    McAdam is out of contract and we have offered next years second rounder.

    We need to chill the deal will get done or Adelaide end up with nothing.

    We got F3 for a younger Premiership player, who has played 3 times the amount of games.

    F2 will get this done, they are just making us sweat because of Petty staying and we got 11.

    It would happen sooner if they found someone they wanted from another club, otherwise it gets done by Wednesday.


    Why can’t you see Harmes was a salary dump? Crom actually would like to keep McAdam.

    McAdams doesn’t want to play for Adelaide. It’s why he asked for a trade.

    Crows will cave, it doesn't benefit them to not trade McAdam when he doesn't want to be there, they're just not going to do it until they're 110% sure that Petty is off the table

    Which is ludicrous because McAdams and Petty are in no way intertwined. Melbourne would never accept McAdams as part of a trade for Petty unless he was just a freebie thrown in on top of picks and a better player.

    So you are suggesting that our round one forwardline will be:

    JVR (backup ruck duties also), Fritsch, McAdam, Smith, Kozzie, Chandler, ANB. 
    That’s dynamic for sure, but our field kicking will need to improve markedly because only one maybe two of those players has a remote chance of taking a big contested mark. 

    It won't include Kossie as he'll be suspended for round 1

    We should have offered the Crows a third rounder first.

    They could've had their tantrum, we counter-offer with the future second and everybody's happy.

    I think that comes straight out of the AFC Trading Play Book

    My Adelaide Neighbour tells me McAdam is good for 2 goals a game and has a good leap. 
     

    Future 2nd is a fair trade. 

    except he has average 1.4 He will want a good leap to beat Kozzie for MOY

    It’s a misspelling of crows. Not too imaginative from south Australians

    Thought is was a misspelling of something to do with sniffing spray paint from plastic bags, which is what we should tell the Crows to do if they continue to think that this has anything to do with MFC Premiership player Petty.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
