We should be moving on:Blows my mind that we are possibly going to make so few changes this year, and are evidently hamstrung by some contracts.
We really should be terminating McPherson and Seedsman's contracts, but there's been no word of this.
Keep Seed around the club as a development coach.
Rowe, Frampton, Crouch, Sholl, Borlase, , Davis should all be moved on or for cheap picks
Hey Lefty disagree on Newchurch and Borlase as they are on Cat B and unless we replace them (highly unlikely) we lose the two roster positions. We are losing Frampton we may need a DefenderWe should be moving on:
McAsey (trade), Crouch (trade- pay half his contract if we have too), Sholl(trade), Seedsman (retire), Brown (already retired), Frampton (already being traded), Rowe, (trade), McPherson (trade), Davis(delist), Newchurch(delist).
But what would we do with all of those list spots?We should be moving on:
McAsey (trade), Crouch (trade- pay half his contract if we have too), Sholl(trade), Seedsman (retire), Brown (already retired), Frampton (already being traded), Rowe, (trade), McPherson (trade), Davis(delist), Newchurch(delist).
That might have something to do with who's available in the draft this year.Blows my mind that we are possibly going to make so few changes this year, and are evidently hamstrung by some contracts.

Unfortunately you can't move contracted players if they don't want to move or no one wants them.Blows my mind that we are possibly going to make so few changes this year, and are evidently hamstrung by some contracts.

Points matter for them. I don't think a second and a third gives them more points that a first.Do points really matter though? If the top end next year is reported as being very good then I'd happily trade a second and third to get a potential early/mid first round pick.
I feel points are only worth it for matching bids. Outside of that it doesn't add much value.

Players get traded when they're overseas all the time.We may as well lay rest the idea of crouch seeking a trade. Hes in Singapore right now with smith Laird tex and Murphy during the upcoming trade period, if he was going surely he’d be in Adelaide and have his hands full especially with his pregnant fiancée.
Generally contracted players leave if you tell them they won't be getting another senior game at the club again and they will be delisted as soon as their contract is up. Other clubs don't have a problem in moving contracted players. Worse case you pay some of their wage and move them on.Unfortunately you can't move contracted players if they don't want to move or no one wants them.
A lot of our players we'd be willing to give up are pretty average so it's not hard to imagine other clubs having zero interest
There is such a thing as a phone ?We may as well lay rest the idea of crouch seeking a trade. Hes in Singapore right now with smith Laird tex and Murphy during the upcoming trade period, if he was going surely he’d be in Adelaide and have his hands full especially with his pregnant fiancée.
I would say he is more likely to be traded. One last trip with the boys before he is off.There is such a thing as a phone ?
I doubt he will have many takers.I would say he is more likely to be traded. One last trip with the boys before he is off.
Yes... but many clubs like their prospective players to do a medical check, with their team doctor, before they sign them up. You can negotiate over the phone, you can't do the medical check-up.There is such a thing as a phone ?
I would say it's likely that both Crouch's management, and the AFC, are actively looking for a new home for him. It's not so likely that we'll find any prospective buyers.I would say he is more likely to be traded. One last trip with the boys before he is off.

Have to remember WCE are losing a heap of experienced players .....they're in a full rebuild & will be looking at some experienced players to assist the kidsWe may as well lay rest the idea of crouch seeking a trade.

I’m on Footywire and I can’t see the free agent list.2023 free agent pool looks pretty crummy if you ask me.
Although I was going by Footywire, so not sure if completely accurate.
There has gotta be some benefit/protection in signing a contract.Unfortunately you can't move contracted players if they don't want to move or no one wants them.
Add Jenkins, Higgins, Stevens, Rohan, Dalhaus Ceglar, Black, Scott Selwood, Henderson, Caddy, McIntosh, Clark, Rivers etc and you can sseetheres been lots of misses which look like stopping them winning a flag.I'm sitting back and watching clubs at the top end of the ladder, such as Geelong and Brisbane, pick up elite free agents and top end young talent, and it has occurred to me that either everyone else is cheating the salary cap like crazy, or we have been one of the worst run clubs list management wise in the AFL.
When we were at the top end, playing finals and hoping to win a premiership, we managed to recruit Betts. Then somehow managed to give up 2 first round picks for a clearly past his best Gibbs.
Imagine if we had been able to add players of the calibre of the following:
Geelong
Blicavs
Stanley
Dangerfield
Tuohy
Jeremy Cameron
Isaac Smith
Stengle
Brisbane
Birchall,
Hodge,
Lachie Neale,
Joe Daniher,
Charlie Cameron,
Marcus Adams,
Jarryd Lyons and now
Dunkley and Gunston.
We really do suck.
Gotta show prospects we're close, first ......2024 onwards IMOI’m on Footywire and I can’t see the free agent list.
But that’s one area we haven’t been able to take advantage of so far which is unfortunate. Our targets are costing us draft capital, we’ve got the cap space, a quality free agent or 2 would be very handy.
That helps but cash is king and we have a lot of it.Gotta show prospects we're close, first ......2024 onwards IMO
Correct .....VIC Clubs can also supply the cash, if that's the main driverThat helps but cash is king and we have a lot of it.
It really is a ****ed competition, the big Vic clubs have such a leg up. Go NorwoodCorrect .....VIC Clubs can also supply the cash, if that's the main driver
For someone to come to ADEL ....we need both cash & the lure of a flag
Harry McKay is crummy?2023 free agent pool looks pretty crummy if you ask me.
