Clubs need to be protected from themselves.

We got Petracca and Brayshaw during our rebuild at 2 and 3

I think this assessment is good. Upgrade in quality for both assuming Billings is fit. A worry that McAdam is 28yo and only played 50 games. Am I missing something?

I thought the same thing !!!

Stephen Armstrong

Or a not so independent independent

Exactly. In 99% of cases its total BS and just the excuse the player uses to go back somewhere on a better contract. Something like the Dayne beams deal was most likely legit with his father dying but most are rubbish. The fact we let it happen and don't hold players to their contract means that players and their managers will keep doing it. Someone needs to stop it.

And didn't freo trade pick 1 for Trent croad?

Imagine being a footballer who gets limited time off and you could choose to go to Greece or Italy or ibiza. And you choose to go to Adelaide..

I hate this garbage. These guys are professional athletes. They get paid to do their job. Lots of ppl move for their work. Just do it he's not even from Adelaide ffs

Won't he be out till august?

Dont mind the idea of a Gunston that could potentially play for a year and coach our group.

IS Petty likely to be ready for round 1? If not whats the ETA?

C'mon. 1 Kick and 1 Handball....but gee they were beauties

Our fwd line issues relate to our inability to kick goals rather than points. In our four finals losses we have had more scoring shots.

Not really. You can front end contracts as well. During our crud days we did that regularly i believe

Freo's up there and Geelong are fast becoming a leader

I guess I was wondering whether a player decides he wants to move to Melbourne, picks a club (ie us) and then his management approaches us and says would you be interested in player x?

And Hawkins?

Anyone know if we pursued McAdam or he just nominated us? Seemed to come out of the blue....

If we lost one or both for concussion or other reasons we would be pretty vulnerable. Might make us consider a gun midfielder as opposed to a longer term KPP Just asking the question

I wonder if the Gus and Oliver situations change their thinking about bolstering the midfield?

They did OK out of the JHF trade

Zero chance

What if we added GWS's Pick 7 to that?
