I'll be honest, whatever the deal is, and whatever his contract is - I'm happy. He is going to be so much fun to watch. Bring on 2023.
Tex, Fog, Rankine, Rachele, McAdam Thilthorpe etc - we are definitely not going to be boring.
I'd heard the contract was going to be something along the lines of; $4mil over 5 years - (Avg of 800k)
year 1 - 1.5mil
year 2 - 750k
year 3 - 600k
year 4 - 600k
year 5 - 600k
More than happy if this is the case, front load that contract while we have the cap space, then enjoy the fruits in...
I did not realise that no, thanks for the heads up. I'd love to see Worrell get a go sooner rather than later also. But we need to see McAsey on the main stage for a consistent run. Otherwise I can just see him leaving, us getting unders as he hasn't impressed, and then going well for...
What I'd like to see,
I've said it soooo many times, but Himmelberg is just the answer for us. Time to see what McAsey can do up forward. I think sloane's appeal gets him off, it didn't look real bad, but if he goes out I think Pedlar is a good swap. Sholl was pretty good, should come in and...
I like Dawson, but if we pay anything more than a 2nd rounder - I will be a little disappointed personally. Think about who we've picked up in the 20's in recent years, (just for perspective).
2020 ; Sam Berry & Brayden Cook
2019 ; Harry Schoenberg & Josh Worrell
2018 ; Will Hamill (pk 30)
Some...
ALOT to be happy with when you look at the totality of our draft/trade selections the past 3 seasons;
DEF: Hamill, McAsey, Butts, Worrell, Borlase
MID: Strachan, Keays, Schoenberg, Pedlar, Jones, Berry, McHenry, Hately, O'Connor, Gallant, Cook, Sholl
FWD: Thilthorpe, Newchurch, McAdam, Rowe...
Pick 1: Logan McDonald
Pick 9: TRADE to Magpies (with pick 40) in exchange for 2020 1st (14) and 2021 1st.
Pick 14 Oliver Henry
Pick 22: Caleb Poulter
Pick 23: Nathan O'Driscoll
Pick 40: TRADE See above
CAT B Rookies: Tariek Newchurch, James Borlase
PSD: Jackson Hately
:)
Given our current hands:
Adelaide: 1, 9, 22, 23, 40, 80
Collingwood: 14, 16, 65, 70
I really like the idea of a trade to sure up our 2nd and 3rd picks(and improving 2021 hand), in exchange for Pies getting in before the McInnes bid. I also think ANY 1st round picks will be great gets for...
no that makes sense to me too mate. Issue comes if Newchurch and Borlase get bidded on. Both seem to be in that mirky area of 30-60 and with it looking likely that only 50-55 picks are used in total across the league this year, it's anyone's bet just how it plays out.
I'd love to somehow land 3...
both look like great prospects I reckon. the SA factor may come into play in terms of helping lineball decisions, but they both add dynamics that we are lacking in.
I understand your point, BUT One thing Vader is that just remember there is a possibility that GC trade down to get say pick 2-3 from NTH / S and then NTH on trade pick 5 who knows?? - anything can happen on draft night - especially seeing as it's so wide open on who will be selected at pick 1...
It won't stay like this, of course there will be pick swaps/trades prior to and on draft night, but hypothetically; based on today's current top 30 picks; here is a quick punched out phantom draft for people to argue at me about :)
1 ADELAIDE - Riley Thilthorpe
2 BULLDOGS - Jamara Ugle Hagen
3...
did someone crap in your weetbix this morning?
It's not ridiculous to think we will trade up. We have picks 22,23 and plenty of other picks for 2020, 2021 so upgrading pick 9 is totally a possibility.
I hope you are right re. Newchurch and even Borlase in the RD - I'd love to take 4+ those two...
If the crows are legitimately only taking 4 picks and we believe that Newchurch and Borlase are two of them, I just can't see a way where we aren't trading picks 9, 22 + 23 for one really high pick in 2020 draft (I have used pick 5 below) and another 1st for 2021.
I personally was really...
Surprised to read that Crows are considering only using 4 picks in the draft this year.
https://www.afl.com.au/news/524855/how-many-picks-will-your-club-use-at-the-nab-afl-draft-
I would have thought 6 would be more likely;
3 live selections + Newchurch, Edwards and Borlase.
For mine, even if...
I remember watching draft night and screaming at the TV when we selected Gallucci, really wanted Will Hayward or Brandan Parfitt (both of which now look like 200+ game players) at the time. Look at the names that went in the next 20 picks.. Still burns. Really poor selection.
No way we trade pick 1. Just can't see it.
Crows fans and club need a franchise guy. I'm absolutely spewing we didn't get pick 2, just because we could have landed Either Mcdonald/Thilthorpe + Hollands, but now we will only get one and I have a sneaky feeling we go for Thilthorpe, which at...
This is the classic Adelaide supporter comment more like it :) . Have a bit of faith mate, it's done.
The club has already announced we will select him in the PSD, lock it in eddie.
Reckon fair chance we move 22 + 40 for a pick in the teens and then 23 for a 1st in 2021,
Use 3 picks in the top 20 on top end talent and then pickup Borlase, Newchurch. I've all but given up on Edwards.
Plus it's gonna be difficult to squeeze in 6 players to the senior list.
I really want...
I know we are on a winning streak, but anyone who thinks we will Roll Richmond this week has rocks in their head :)
It wouldn't matter who we select, a 20-35point loss is about the best we could hope for if you ask me, they are a VERY good team, and they're in form.
With this in mind, let's...
