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.

Crows have F1st.

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.

Crows bound.

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.

[Mach5 4,767]

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.

[old55 23,369]

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
