What we do reckon we would have to give to Crows for McAdam? A future 3rd round. ??? Or Straight swap for Harmesy ??? 🥲🤔

McAdam is OOC, I believe so either we give them a 3rd round pick or he walks to the preseason draft and the Crows get nothing. That'd be a 50+ pick. It's a joke that they wanted Petty who's still got 2 years on his contract.

    it'll be a third, or a future third, you'd think

    Anything more and we're being taken for a ride. You'd think we are in the box seat.

    I suspect we will get pick 44 from the Tigers for Harmes and that pick will get McAdam over the line

    I’m sure he’ll be in most posters 22 round 1 because people seem to think that most players from other clubs are better than our own.

    ls he any good? struggling to get a game for Adelaide

    Wasn’t struggling to get a game. Suspension and injury was his issue. Was a mature age draft pick as well. A late bloomer who is very good.

    I suspect Yze’s presence at tigerland will have them stepping away from any deal for Harmes.

    Well, he will be a Melbourne player by then! And surely we aren’t getting a 28 year old to play in the 2’s. Plus the Pickett suspension.

    Question will be what role he plays and how he fits with Fritsch, 2-3 talls, possibly Joel Smith and smalls.

    Could easily play round 1 and be dropped for round 2. 

    But I do like the idea of him playing the small deep forward role that Kossie played in finals. That frees up Fritsch and Pickett to do more up the ground in a variety of roles.

    Dude can play. Is a genuine target and good finisher. The best possible replacement for Melksham I can think of. 
     

    And someone who can find marks like this at the end of our long bombs is always going to be handy.

    Except that posters have said he is going to Dodoro and that means we will pay them.

    McAdam has probably 2 good seasons left, so will not be expensive in trade pick.

    Seeing it - or at least hearing it - we'll get Derwayne on side, at least!

    He looks like a 75% Fritsch/Pickett. Not sure then, if (when?) we want a true, imposing KPF.

    But cheaply, and for a low pick? Can't hurt.

    He certainly finds space, is quick off the mark, and kicks straight.

    PS listening to the commentary reminds me (as if I needed reminding) just what an awful commentator is Derrwwwayne. Pretending to sound astounded at every play.

    I am looking forward to having Shane McAdam playing for the Demons next year in 2024!

    He is definitely a high-flyer when it comes to taking marks! I found a highlights video from when he was drafted by the Adelaide Crows from Sturt in the SANFL. The link can be found here:

    Very average.  Can kick goals but is lazy and gives away free kicks.  

    He is Fritsch cover and that is it.  And the way he is leaving the crows worries me too, just an average footballer who thinks he is better

    Just what we need in the forward line, another MOY candidate to compete with Kozzie

    They way he left? Burgo basically said his hamstring tightness was in his head and then he did it. So much for Burgos resilience. 

    He’s a good player that we will get cheaply.

    So the same guy that set up our fitness structure and led our program to a flag?

    Think Burgo has more runs on the board than McAdam, his lazyness and preparedness for games is what has lead to him playing only 50 games in 4 seasons.

    I hope I am wrong, and we do need some experience coming in to cover what we are going to lose.  But he screams poor work ethic to me and have heard the same thing about him from within the club too

    You could be right, but hopefully having 2-3 years at most of his AFL career left, might get the finger pulled out.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
