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.

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.

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

What does Crom mean?

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.

    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
