Type of scenario that scares about Kozzie Pickett as well.

New bub, all his extended family support are back in WA and SA and his partner is from Larrakia country which is up Darwin.

You only have to watch the Kozzie documentary to realise how incredibly close he is with his family.

As I said a few pages back. When you become a new parent your whole perspective in life changes and the support you need when you become a new parent is immense.

What’s right for Nibbler May not be the same for Koz. Don’t think it’s worth jumping at shadows. Baby shadows that is

Clearly what's right for Nibbler is right for Kozzie eh DJ?

Is it necessary to bring this up? I said ‘might not be’ didn’t act like I had inside mail. No need to act like  f’ing know it all

You said I was jumping at shadows, which clearly I wasn't, so yes it is necessary to bring it up to prove a point that I wasn't.

That's all..

Surely the club comes first, if ANB trade causes a chain reaction of players wanting to do whatever they want despite contracts then we have to just veto all of them

[Bates Mate 4,461]

They'll give us pick 25 , which is the pick we gave up for McAdam. . In that case you could say we got McAdam for free , which is about the right price based on this year's output

On second thought I think this would mean effectively a anb for McAdam swap , yuk

Well we pretty much got hustled by the Crows, if Burgess couldn't get him fit in 2 years then we had no chance.

The decent thing for the Crows to do would give our pick 25 back in return for ANB.

Yep. He was worth a 3rd rounder at best.

ANB is a dependable asset to any team with the runs on the board, premiership player and was top 3 in our BnF.

Crows get ANB and MFC pick 51 

Dees get Crows pick 25 and 42 

that’s fair.

It had to be the Crows.  He'd struggle to get a game at Port.

He was a pick 6 and has kicked 70 goals in 56 games. Will only get better.

Not sure if he passes the no DH policy, but back ourselves to keep his feet on the ground.

yes our no DH policy has worked a treat !!

Rachele is highly unlikely.  Not sure he’s right but clearly a talent.  
We need Sam McClure or Damo or Ralphy or Robbo or Sammy Edmund or Kane or Lloyd to say Rachele is homesick and wants out and has lost the support of teammates or whatever they conjour up !!! 

[Skuit 10,027]

Can the Crows even give us back our pick under the current trading rules? Also, most of our own fans struggle to identify what ANB actually does during a game. He may be a great role player, but that's under Goodwin's system, and I doubt he would even get a start at Port. I think a third-rounder is a more realistic expectation, if you reflect back on what we've traded in over the years for an early-to-mid second. 

[spirit of norm smith 16,087]

Neal-Bullen likely to finish 6th-8th in our B&F. Or could place higher in our strange MFC voting. He’s super fit. Played 23 games this year. Played 96 out of 97 games in last 4 years. Regular in a top team. 
 

My call

Crows get ANB and MFC pick 51 

Dees get Crows pick 25 and 42 

that’s fair.  

[Ugottobekidding 1,141]

I would take a punt on Curtin. Would be fair. ANB has elite stats this year. Pick 25 is way too low.

What does 'officially nominated' mean, particularly in the same sentence as 'preferred'? And how does a reporter become the ('official'?) announcer?

Disappointed to lose Nibbler, he was a good servant of the club amd I wish him well in the future. However Tim Lamb’s job is to get the best deal for Melbourne. If that deal is with the Power then so be it. We are under no obligation to get him to the Crows.

Well we are if Port aren't really interested, but I don't know that

Seriously he is highly rate and his tackling is elite this year. Probably the hardest working forward. Is a big lose.

i'd say in terms of workrate the only player we have who rivals him is ed langdon, although arguably gawn's is also enormous but you just don't think about the great man like you do a 'small'

anb is a huge loss and a massive gain for the crom

another reason to loathe them

Can anyone confirm if Adelaide are actually allowed to trade us back pick 25?

So long as it’s not in the same trading period, i think it’s above board

This was the best I could find pertaining to the rules. It's astonishing (but actually not) how difficult it is access the official rules of our multi-billion dollar sport, and how vaguely they are written. 

9.7 Further Exchange of Draft Selection
(a) A Club may exchange a Draft selection which it has received from another Club,
provided that the selection is not traded directly back to that Club.
