We got * all targets

There is always next year

 

[Scythe94]

Apparently Harrison Petty does have something that would likely pull him back towards South Australia in the coming years.

Is that where Ryan Bastinac is living now?

 

[space_cowboy]

Every time I look at the table, our picks have blown further out. FFS, the AFL are like the federal reserve, just creating picks out of thin air.

 

[Mich0]

There is always next year

Next year we will have another mill+ from dinosaurs Brown,Tmac and Tomo.

When was the last time or anytime for the matter that we have actually brought in a player on over 1m a year that would constitute anything close that type of coin.

We probably have never even brought in a package of players who combined would justify that. (Except ironically maybe Grundy and Hunter).

We would ramble on about our war chest and bring in some fringe plodders on 500k a year at best.

 

[CWaffles]

Id take 10 and 20 plus mcadams in a heartbeat for petty.

Caleb Windsor

SNAPSHOT: “Caleb Windsor is a speedy outside runner capable of carving up the opposition in attacking phases, and laying rundown tackles on the defensive end.”

Blazing through the talent pathway after elder brother Kai, Caleb Windsor has climbed draft boards this year as one of the crop’s first round bolters. The speedy wingman showed early promise in his preferred role and followed through with strong Talent League and representative form.

Windsor earned a bottom-age berth in the Eastern Ranges program last year before boosting his numbers as a top-ager in 2023. Both form and upside led to his Vic Metro selection, where he was also afforded centre bounce rotations to go with his usual work on the wing.

Some have labelled Windsor the best wingman in the country, and while he may have missed out on some of the accolades of other top 20 talents, remains very much in the mix. At his best, his speed and agility carve up the opposition and certainly catch the eye.

STRENGTHS:

• Agility
• Defensive pressure
• Hurt factor
• Outside game
• Speed
• Work rate

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Kick consistency
• Strength

Windsor's most pertinent and eye-catching attribute is his speed. It suits his style of play to a tee, with the wingman often holding his width outside of packs and showing opponents a clean set of heels once he receives the ball. He makes burning off players look effortless at times, and is near-impossible to catch once he sets off into space.

He's the type of player who is capable of breaking the game open, whether it be by carrying the ball for strong meterage or launching long goals. Windsor also uses his pace defensively, displaying menacing closing speed to chase down opponents and often catching them cold.

Despite showing a hunger for hunting opposition ball carriers, Windsor very much plays to his outside role. He spent some time at the centre bounces, but ended with an uncontested possession rate of nearly 74 per cent during the National Championships. His ability to work into space is unrelenting, constantly providing an outlet to chain play between the arcs.

Windsor's handling, particularly at ground level, has come on strongly this year having set out to improve it. He is gutsy enough to compete overhead and averaged over four marks per Talent League game, but is a touch less polished at full stretch. Though, when he can take the ball cleanly he sets off in a flash.

Another facet of Windsor's game he has shown improvement in is his kicking. He often gets good length and is capable of slotting impressive goals on the run, but does a lot of work at speed and that can impact his efficiency in the short-range. When more measured, he is capable of sharp passes which do damage.

With a frame which is conducive to an outside player, Windsor will also look to add strength as he steps up to senior level. It would allow him to explore his potential as a centre bounce attendee, or even see him break tackles with power as opposed to stepping around opponents in quicker or more congested games.

 

[Topkent]

I said this a few weeks ago, pick in the top 10 and a late first.

Topkent said no chance, well campaigner, the immortal Corey Norris is on my side, seems I was right. Apology incoming.

Who the **** is that and who's this about lol

 

[Crusty Demon]

Id take 10 and 20 plus mcadams in a heartbeat for petty.

It's a pretty handy offer. Would have to think about it. Especially with the injury Petty has

 

[Topkent]

We all know how the Oliver rumour went, maybe the prudent thing to do is wait for more concrete evidence this is happening before getting too upset.

The rumour about Oliver was true.

 

[Topkent]

Someone should call Crimestoppers if Dees are able to pull 2x first rounders and a player in exchange for Petty.

He is a nice player on his day. But he is flakey and injury prone.

If Pettys footy is anything other than 100% you would have to look at it

But something tells me if pick 10, 20 & McAdam is getting floated Adelaide obviously think the draft is absolute poo

you'd love to cop 2x firsts for Petty but we just cant afford to trade him this year.

What am I missing here lol since when was 20 a first rounder and after academy isn't it gonna be like 13 and 23 lol

 

[Mich0]

There’s 5 academy’s so 25

 

[Topkent]

There’s 5 academy’s so 25

Plus north priority so 26 then?

 

[Mich0]

Plus north priority so 26 then?

Already counted I think. But Gresham compo isn’t. So yes 26

 

[Topkent]

How good if we lost Petty. That'd be the final nail in the coffin for the kultcha of the club. Blokes wanting to go home every year and ya best player resembling a bar code.

 

[deeman87]

Guys Petty has 2 yrs to run on a contract and hes a badly needed player/position. It's possible his injury already cost us a premiership. Why would we trade him even if he requested it? Are Adelaide gonna give us Thilthorpe or Fogarty back? Maybe Rachele? No?? Ok then he can choose to go to Ade in a yr or 2 when we have some more key fwd options. just coz someone requests a trade you don't have to honour it...You dont just go trading your best players when you're in the window and we sure as hell have enough picks in the 10-40 range in whats supposed to be a draft where the first 8 players are a fair tier above the rest.

 

[A11dAtP0w3R]

Yeah but we are getting McAdam so it pretty close. Apologise now.

You also don't force blokes to stay who don't wanna be at your club, especially ones who cry on the field.

Sorry












U suck so bad

Would be Fritsch for me.

He is a FA in 2 years and has a cooked foot.

Might be a smart play if we can get overs.

Also what if Petty's legs are fuxored already. Lisfrancs aren't your run of the mill, no pun intended, leg injury.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Id take 10 and 20 plus mcadams in a heartbeat for petty.

100% - provided there's a great plan to reinvest immediately.

 

[pjfairbairn]

Dodoro cops a lot of flak (deservedly) but he is taking some big swings with his last trade period: B McKay, Duursma, Gresham, Goldstein

Is Tim Lamb jostling to take the crown of being the stupidest list manager for 2024 onwards?

Out: Grundy, Jordon, Harmes, Dunstan, Hibberd
In: Two state league plodders

i think two stage league plodders - preferably 23+ - is exactly what this Board needs to come together! James Magner & Tom Couch, come on down.

Jesus I remember Tom Couch.

They made a huge deal about his game and were showing his old man on TV cheering on only for him to get absolutely obliterated (and I think dropped to never play again)?

Might as well throw Brent Moloney and Brock McLean in there too. Wrecking ball of a midfield that was.

 

[schmuttt]

Petty is worth way more to us than what he’s actually worth at the trade table. Unless Adelaide come up with an insane offer I wouldn’t be letting him go even if he wanted to.
