Does this put pick 25 in jeopardy?

Great question, one would hope not and we had an in-principle deal with the Crows for Nibbler. Hard to have faith at the minute.

    I reckon this puts pick 25 and the Derksen deal both in jeopardy. Nightmare result.

    Nibbler moving for family, free hit - but the other two are money - the crows have heaps of cap space because they haven't played finals since 2017 so aren't paying huge salaries to stars anymore -Sloane, Walker, Laird etc, are all on much smaller deals or retired.

    Watch as the Crom dither on the ANB deal instead of getting the straightforward business done early, eventually decide to include in a Peatling deal, and we end up with a F2.

    Eventually we’ll probably be offered Derksen for ANB, with 25 going to GWS with a F2 for Peatling.

    It's called salary cap room and desperation. 😉

    Adelaide absolutely sweated the Giants for an uncontracted player, even after paying him a fortune.

    I’m still filthy we gave up a second rounder for McAdam.

    Take note Tim Lamb - when you get a guy who’s out of contract you pay the bare minimum and enjoy the win.

    Really? They paid their F2 and got the Giants F3 and F4 which on this year's results would be Peatling + 52 + 70 for 23, not sure how that's looking a lot better than the McAdam deal?

    By adding 3 ready made mids Adelaide will improve towards the middle of the ladder if not higher. He’s worth a F2 that should be 28+ alone. Add in the compromise of the draft next year it’s likely 32+. GWS picks aren’t great but they’re something.

    We gave up a second in a mostly unblemished draft when we were due to towards the middle of the ladder.

    But more than that McAdam was always a gamble. Peatling is rock solid. The ages and contract difference between McAdam - 3 years surely on steady money and Peatling 4+ on some solid coin says it all.

    "Towards the middle of the ladder" when we were only Maynard brutality away from the 23 flag? OK. We didn’t know Angus would never return, Clarry would go off the rails and Petracca would nearly get killed when we made the trade.

    Let's see where that McAdam pick ends up this year it's already out to 28 and will likely go out further than your 32 estimate for the Adelaide pick.

    I love the way you use the fact that Adelaide are paying more for longer for Peatling as evidence of them driving a hard bargain.

    I would have really liked to get Peatling but Adelaide convinced him to join, possibly with a more lucrative offer, he had a number of suitors. The deal was always going to be F2 after they'd made an earlier agreement with us for the McAdam pick back for ANB. And hey presto it turned out to be F2 with some wilted garnish back from GWS.

    We had a lot of unforeseen circumstances

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
