So Clarry for McAdams is off the table then?

 

Yes. It's been a tough day for us.

    Pick 39 for Jordon. Feels about correct weight for McAdam.

    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.

    Overs for Fullarton based on output to date.

    I don’t want to come across as greedy but I’m expecting Shane to kick something close to 23 goals in his first 3 game for Melbourne, just like uncle Adrian did in 1993 for North.

    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

    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.

    Looked at his highlights again

    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...

    According to gettable on Trade Radio, we have offered a future second rounder for McAdam.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?
