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

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
