I dont get it with McAdam. He's been playing for a while and hasnt set the house on fire not to mention injury issues. 

Is our cupboard that bare. I dont think so. If we have better luck in 24 he will struggle to get a game.

Fwds... Petty Jvr Fritsch Pickett Anb Smith and possibly Melksham and a fit BBB with backups Chandler Sparrow and Spargo.

Just another depth player like Dunstan.

    Are we being held over for the Wednesday night special.

    If so it underscores what a low interest trade period this has been

    As a forward, he's well ahead of ANB, Sparrow, Spargo, Chandler, and Smith. 

    Mcadam has X factor that our forward line needs.

    Collingwood just got Schulze for a second round + future second.

    Absolute steal IMHO. By that yardstick McAdam for second round pick is more than fair

    It was a future first... which is actually a fair amount to give up

    My bad, one of the feeds on twitter had it as 2 2nd roundres.

    pick 34 + future first is quite high a price but I rate him and wouldn't be upset if we paid that. Mcadam still only worth 2nd rounder

    Neither Petty ( despite what Tim Lamb said) or Melksham are likely  to be playing before the King's Birthday which means McAdams " depth" may be useful. 

    Of course BBB and TMac may be cherry ripe and training the house diwn

    What do you base your Petty return prediction on?

    He is a walk up starter in our 23

     

    Go back and watch what he did to us this year

    A question about McAdam is if he comes how do we clear list spots to use our draft picks? 

    We currently have two senior list spots and two A Rookie spots (according to the excellent work of the list thread). 

    If we bring in McAdam we only have one senior list spot left. And that’s if we move Melksham to the rookie list to fill one of the two A rookie spots (if that’s even allowed?). 

    Assuming we are taking at least one, maybe two or three draft picks who are we dropping from the list?

    We currently have Harmes, Grundy, Hibberd, Jordon and Dunstan off the primary list and so far we have Fullarton on and a promise to upgrade D.Turner.  We currently have 3 primary list spots available.

    I predict we move Melksham to the Rookie list to make 4 spots, add McAdam, 2 Draft picks and match a bid on K.Brown.

    Yes - was chatting with an Adelaide supporting mate over the weekend.  He said McAdam is definitely a best 22 player for them but said he didn't play a lot of games due to injury and suspension.

    Yes he's 28 (and I'm not saying I don't think our offer is reasonable) - but he's a bit better than some on here are giving him credit for.

    Will be 29 next May and only played 50 games.

    Liam Henry just traded to Saints for a F2 and swap of F4's.

    He is a more valuable and much younger player than McAdam.

    We have offered our F2 for McAdam.

    Don't budge Dees, on that Henry trade alone we are overpaying.

    I’m really lost why we didn’t chase him or why he didn’t nominate. I get that he has weaknesses but he’d only be chasing one of Hunter or Langdons spots. Or play him as a running HB.

    Lis franc  tradition.

    He might play earlier, but he quite possibly won't be " right"

    I would imagine that Lamb and Taylor don't rate him, or he didn't want to play in the same team as his best mate.

    I just rechecked the List LH has already included Shane McAdam, Daniel Turner and Tom Fullarton on the senior list.

    If Adelaide are going to play hard ball I would just walk away, apologise to McAdam's manager and not answer their calls. No disrespect to McAdam but we simply cannot be seen to blink first here. I'm not suggesting we should be an Essendon or Geelong at trade time but we can't be painted the suckers of the trade period. Stand firm Dees.

    If Lamb and Taylor don't rate Henry, then they didn't watch any Dockers games this year. He had a better season than both Langdon and Hunter, and adds outside run that we need.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
