Adelaide Crows are not a destination club for AFL free agents

Every AFL recruiting chief and list manager has a book filled with “the ones that got away”. Former Adelaide Crows head recruiter Matt Rendell has a library.
During his time at West Lakes, before every AFL season started, Rendell would pick up the phone to start dialling. His mission was to sound out every South Australian who was on an AFL list and gauge their interest in returning home to play for the Crows. This mission was almost always unsuccessful.
“I used to ring every player manager in the country in February and ask about all the Adelaide players and whether they wanted to come back home,” Rendell said on AFL Trade Radio this week. “I couldn’t get one bite; I could not get one player who wanted to come back to Adelaide.”
Eight years have passed since Rendell departed the Crows in rather contentious circumstances. And the problem remains – Adelaide is not a destination club not even for those who once called Adelaide, the city, home. Top of the rather large agenda for Adelaide’s incoming chairman John Olsen should be to find out why the recruiting strike rate is so poor for the Crows. Adelaide cannot use the location as an excuse when compared with the big commercial cities of Melbourne and Sydney.
In-town rival Port Adelaide has had no major difficulty recruiting players from other AFL clubs. South Australians Brad Ebert (West Coast), Angus Monfries (Essendon) and Ryan Burton (Hawthorn) have returned home to play for Port Adelaide. There also is a long line of non-South Australian players including Paddy Ryder (Essendon) and All-Australian key forward Charlie Dixon (Gold Coast) who have been convinced to join the Power. When confronted with similar offers from both South Australian clubs, Jared Polec (Brisbane) and Steven Motlop (Geelong) chose Port Adelaide over the Crows.
The recruiting misery is set to continue for Adelaide this year with Essendon forward Orazio Fantasia rejecting Adelaide’s advances and naming Port Adelaide as his club of choice.

The Crows and people who have been employed by them seem to be genuinely blind to the fact that their culture is horrendous, and this is why nobody wants to go there.Adelaide Crows are not a destination club for AFL free agents

From Kornes Tsier article for tomorrow's paper. With trade radio starting a week early there are plenty of names to speculate on.
IN LIMBO
Currently there are a 140 players without a contract due to the AFL’s inaction regarding list sizes for next season. It’s not good enough and the AFL Players Association should have demanded an answer months ago.

The only one of those trades that was actually 'shrewd' was the Kennedy trade. There was nothing 'shrewd' about Dangerfield nominating Geelong, they were just lucky that he grew up there and wanted to come home. The other trades are only good deals as a result of good drafting.

Is that the Kennedy who Choco decided wasn't good enough to be part of the Burgoyne trade?

I remember how angry I was last year when we gave up a future first for what appeared absolutely bugger all. In the end we had a season out of the box and suddenly it was an absolutely genius move, and netted us MG whilst maximising the value of that pick, as we'll take Jones in the first round this year regardless.
So I wont be so anti a future 1st trade this year if we take the risk. Especially knowing Jase Burgoyne is looking like a top 20 pick.

can some one refresh my memory.
when we got rocky, we tried to bump up his $$ or something with a separate trade to get brissy the higher compo?
why was that vetoed? what rule was it breaching

Big reason why coaches need to stay out of list management. Recalled Choco tried to push for us trading an early 1st for Shaun Hampson one year too.
What do you get if you cross a capybara with a rat?
