Jaded No More

My sources tell me that we have struck a deal with Carlton. We are getting McKay and Curnow in exchange for pick 46 and Bailey Laurie. Is that better?

Perhaps he is also hoping his partner will relocate to Melbourne. Honestly the way this world is heading, we might not have to worry about much in 2025. Let's focus on getting through 2023 first.

Exactly right. Two years is a long time when you are 23. A lot can change.

Melbourne would give up on the pursuit of McAdams 1000 times over losing Petty. The Crows are embarrassing themselves playing hard ball over an uncontracted player who is borderline in their best 22 and 28 years old.

You’re right. Their need isn’t dire but it’s certainly present. They have a lot of players they need to re-sign. $1.2mil for an average 31 year old is not gonna help them do that.

It’s been discussed numerous times. It’s essentially a replica of the Bowes trade. Who the hell would pay Haynes $1.2mil if it didn’t come with perks? GWS needs to get him off their books.

He will come with pick 7 from GWS Interested now?

BECAUSE WE MUST BE ANNOYED AT THE CLUB ABOUT EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME

And he’s moving back into his boarding school 😂 Morris should do better research. It’s much more likely his girlfriend is a bigger lure than his sister. Not many 23 year old dudes move to be near their sister.

Nothing like keeping a borderline best 22 player against their will just to spite another club who refuses to trade one of their best players in exchange 😂

I’m gonna do a Tom Morris and put 2 and 2 together and come up with 7…. JUH to the Dees based off the love exchange on Clarry’s Insta post #jadedwiththenews

The day Tom Morris doesn’t post negative news about Melbourne or one of its players, is the day pigs will fly

Haynes Not a bad player. Experienced mid sized defender. Good depth. Lol at nobody caring about the player btw 😂

McVee was a rookie…. In JT we trust!

I don’t think the Crows would either if they worried his foot was a bust. Bottom line is, he is contracted. We need to back ourselves to keep him. If he has a great season and he still wants to go home we can trade him for even more. If this was his last year of contract I’d consider it. But with two years it’s pointless to trade him now.

Why? We would be able to match that deal. In fact I would be shocked if we don’t have an extension on the table for him if he’s willing to commit beyond the next 2 years.

Correction. We got pick 46 and next year’s second round for Grundy. Why do people ignore future picks? 🤷‍♀️

Firstly we can compete with that. We have plenty of cap space. Secondly he is contracted. He cannot be “gone” unless we choose to trade him.

It will be higher next year if he kicks 50 goals

We have Kynan Brown F/S and we need to upgrade McVee and Turner onto the primary list.

I have a feeling pick 11 is not here for a long time, she's here for a good time...

Essentially exactly the same as the Bowes deal to Geelong last year. We take the salary which GWS can't afford, and in return we get pick 7. Oh and also the player that goes along with the salary.

What about our club suggests to you that we won't take the higher ground? Of course we will. Nothing to gain by having a go at a player you chose to bring to your club.

First we didn't let them have Clarry, now we won't let them take Petty. Poor Crom.
