Jaded No More

My guess is they'll up their offer to pick 10 from pick 14, and we will tell them to take a hike

Have Adelaide come out and requested Trac in the trade for McAdams yet?

99% of their players aren’t worth [censored]

We are not going to trade JVR anymore than we are going to trade Petty. Not for pick one not for anything. Not unless they come out and demand a trade.

Schache is not a ruck backup. And yes I know I know why did he play the sub role blah blah blah. He is a forward backup.

Which is ludicrous because McAdams and Petty are in no way intertwined. Melbourne would never accept McAdams as part of a trade for Petty unless he was just a freebie thrown in on top of picks and a better player.

No because Melbourne wouldn’t trade Pickett after he just signed a 4 year deal. And Pickett is not going to WC either.

Yep, at that size he is at least 1-2 years away from peaking

McAdams doesn’t want to play for Adelaide. It’s why he asked for a trade.

What evidence do you have that Petty isn’t happy to stay and play for Melbourne? If he doesn’t come out and ask for a trade then he’s clearly very comfortable and committed to stay.

How embarrassment for Adelaide if a mediator needs to get involved. You’d think we are dealing with a trade for Marcus Bontempelli for goodness sake.

I bet my bottom dollar Norf would have got pick 3 for him regardless. AFL finds ways to manipulate the rules constantly. As for Essendon, lol at collecting rubbish from every corner of the planet in a sad attempt to win a final after 900 years.

Do not get me started on the joke that is pick 3 compo for McKay. I’m still furious how many freebies Norf are getting for their own putrid list mismanagement. They played finals not that long ago for goodness sake!

I understand your point, but this is a free hit. We aren’t using this pick in the draft anyways so who cares.

But unlike Melbourne they need to bring in a lot of players. Same with West Coast. They won’t want to give up 2 or 3 because they know they’ll get two really good players versus 1. Strategically too West Coast wouldn’t want to give North anymore access to the draft. They’ll want 2 and 3 for 1, because North is directly competing with them for a climb up the ladder. Whereas Melbourne is not. Of course they’ll swap 1 for 2 and 3, but I don’t think 2 and 13 will put them in a better drafting position than 6 and 11, especially if they can get Curtin at 6 who is the one they really want.

He will be very happy to play CHF and win another flag at Melbourne. He is not unhappy at Melbourne. Never indicated that he was. Let’s stop blaming the club for literally everything that doesn’t go perfectly to plan. I bet my bottom dollar McAdams deal gets done. Adelaide are just having a cry because we won’t trade them Petty and Oliver for their crappy draft picks. McAdams is completely unrelated to them wanting to lure ready made guns to fill the gaps in their list. They’re desperate to go all out while Walker is still around and in top form. Can’t blame them. But also they’re being absolutely ridiculous in how they’re going about it.

What player?

On what delulu planet do Adelaide live? Next it'll be pick 14 and McAdams for Petty and Oliver

LOL Bye

Imagine a player coming out and saying I am nominating Melbourne and Melbourne is like

Yes, when he proves his foot has healed and kicks 40+ goals as a Premiership forward.

Kane Cornes. Where logic goes to die.

I love how we want Petty to stay while he’s contracted but we are happy to throw Ben Brown and Tom McDonald away. You have to honor contracts, what sort of club would we be if we pushed guys into retirement while contracted? You just don’t do that. Poor optics all around. These two are not stopping us in any way from doing what we want with our list.

It depends on what news you're looking at
