IMO if this is all that happens in a 'trading aggressively' off season, its pretty underwhelming.Trade & F/A Period
Out: Vince
In: Betts (F/A), Edwards, pick 20.
Probably not too bad a result.

Agreed. I probably should have said Vince for Edwards and pick 20 is "not too bad a result".IMO if this is all that happens in a 'trading aggressively' off season, its pretty underwhelming.
Add Pods as a FA as well. I think I'd that's the final result then it's not disastrous. We fill 2 immediate needs with Pods and Betts. We add some outside speed to develop in Edwards and more than likely we add a quality SA kid like Dumont, Dunstan or Battersby. We still have pick 42 which could be used on a developing KPF/ ruck like Ben Brown who should still be there.IMO if this is all that happens in a 'trading aggressively' off season, its pretty underwhelming.
If trading aggresively means making deals like Henderson for #27 or other such crap deals that have been offered then it's better to not trade at all.IMO if this is all that happens in a 'trading aggressively' off season, its pretty underwhelming.
If Pods signs for a year, does that make Graham or Smack surplus to requirements?
It doesn't look like Smack has received any interest, so I'd be happy to retain him for another year. I know Pods is not a ruckman, but surely between Pods, Smack, Jenkins (when recovered), Dowdell and Osbourne we can afford to part ways with Graham.
If fitness is the only thing holding Graham back, delist him and tell him there is a rookie spot available if he meets X, Y & Z fitness criteria.
Imagine the BF uproar if we didnt take Crouch though.
More like the uproar when we drafted Dangerfield instead of Ebert.The same as the uproar when we didn't take Max Otten or Michael Talia?

Yes I believe Graham has another year - but I'd be happy to pay him out given his form to date. It would at least free up a list spot.I believe Graham is still contracted for another year. Fitness isn't the only thing Angus lacks - the bloke is a mental pigmy, from all accounts - a serious fkwit.
I also believe Smack won't be at the club next year - however, it wouldn't surprise me if the club tries to keep him purely based on lack of ruck stock.. the only thing smack is good at is jumping in a straight line (sometimes).
Personally I'd be looking to move him on for a third round pick or above if someone is stupid enough to grab him. St kilda are still lurking with smack.
I might get shot down for this but I'd be incredibly ANGRY if we didn't take him with our pick...By all reports Matt Crouch is slower than his brother and is less skilled. Do not want. Even if we had the pick available to get him.

Emma Quayle is saying on twitter, Vince deal is only waiting on them contacting Bernie o/s
Realistically, who would you be looking into?
Just having a listen to the interview again. Noble clearly says "We knew Jared barracked for Port as a kid, but we knew Brissy wanted players, and let me say we didn't put any players on the table, but the players were interested in going to Brissy"
We should have had $1.5 - $2 million a year spare in our salary cap if we delist Tambling and Stiffy, trade Bernie plus the $850K a year that was set aside gor $kirt. This doesn't include the extra cash freed up by front loading contracts last year.
We should have been able to make a grandfather offer to at least 2 if not 3 free agents (or matched the Sydney deal for Buddy but he would never come to Adelaide). We have spent an extra $100-150 K a year to get Eddie but seemingly have not moved on any of the other free agents. Either
D. Still paying legal fees
OK my bad, I obviously miss heard what he said. So the Crows weren't prepared to let these players go then....interesting!!
You do realize that knightmare has Matt Crouch rated as potential elite AFL player and rated as a higher potential than Aish? The kid is going to be a gun. If we have an opportunity to get him we do.If only matt was half the player his brother is...
oh no he didnt.
