Either for him or Fullarton. 

Yep, our two late second round picks get the Fullarton and McAdam deals done.

Leaves us with 2 first rounds and after Grundy deal we should have 2 picks inside 30.  I reckon we will bundle up picks to improve our draft order taking 3 top 20ish picks and Brown.  I think if Harmes goes it will be more about draft position than a later pick.

Paddy Dow expected to go for a future 4th rounder. 

23yo 3rd round selection. 

Bit of an insite into the value of McAdam, God I hope we don't give up a second rounder.

Dow for a future 4th round - like pick 70 in 2024 draft.  Blues should be just delisting him.

I think it's so he definitely gets to his club of choice, but yeh Carlton won't be using that pick

Pick 46 for McAdam it is then

Or to the PSD, not that we normally operate that way, but if Adelaide are really cracking the sads we won't trade a contacted Petty to them just because they want him, then they must forget they have no leverage with the uncontracted McAdam

Can someone point me to where I find the AFL rules that govern drafting, free agency, compensation picks, academy etc etc.

I have always found it hard to find this stuff on the AFL website and I like to understand what I am reading.

I think it is the Sheldon in me. ( Not the Carlton player ).

Maybe you would need a psychoanalyst, and some sort of functional PET CT of the cerebrum of Gil (or of Dill) - they seem to dream these things up as they go along.

It’s rare a player requests a move to a club and does not get to their destination. Play hard Crows and see how that works for you now and in the future.

Anyway Im sure the club knows better

Went and read the Adelaide BF board to see the reactions when this news first came out. In general, most see him as best 22, "a shame to lose him" and and as someone who "changes their forward line dynamic significantly". In the context of Adelaide I don't know exactly what that means (less Walker centric? Takes a defender away from Rankine?) but probably the best way I can describe this is if we were to lose Melksham (3 years ago), or maybe from today's team, a Sparrow or a Bowey. Good player, not a game changer. 

They also said he has a strange habit of pretending he's injured (or emphasising bad knocks), particularly after he does something bad (e.g. missing a shot for goal). Weird trait but several of them mentioned it unprompted by each other...

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
