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. 

Go get McLean for free instead

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

That's a 2 goals a game forward most weeks!

I can see that.


We dont need this guy.If  he comes cheap ok for depth. Wouldnt stress me if he stayed at Adelaide

Easily replaceable thats why Adelaide are giving him the flick

Move on please Melbourne

Adelaide aren't giving him the flick.  He's giving them the flick.  They would rather he stayed.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
