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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
