Mate, at this point i'm just happy to see the smoke.

If we went through the entire trade period talking about how we get the Burgess deal done I would have thrown my laptop into the river.
4D chess by the Crows

" Listen, BigFooty Adelaide fans are underwhelmed by the Burgess news , some going as far as posting Larry David gifs , what can we do to distract them. Another post talked about Oliver let's put that out there "

Trade period goes by and Burgess is our big fish landed and we all walk away thinking we won the trade period
 
This board reminds me a lonely guy who has just been hit up by a “Victorian secret model” on Tinder.

Sure it most likely a catfish who will fleece us of our savings, but we are willing to forget that in the slight chance we could have a hot date with a beautiful woman who is contacting us because our picture of a slightly overweight middle-aged man is actually “her thing”.
Speak for yourself, I have a very engaging life at the moment.

POTENTIAL OLIVER SUITORS — AND WHAT THEY COULD OFFER

As aforementioned, a lot has to play out before we officially get to this stage. But the fact the Dees have already fielded calls means there’s belief from rivals they can do an Oliver deal.

One club that would make sense for both them and Oliver would be Adelaide — a club that almost played finals ahead of external expectations this year that needs a star inside midfielder and has a fitness boss who could help Oliver out.

The Crows under coach Matthew Nicks made significant inroads in 2023, finishing 10th with an 11-12 record but a percentage of 116.8 — the fourth-best in the competition. Yet they were also a mid-table team for clearances and contested possessions, while they were 14th for opposition points from clearance.

The Crows’ forward line is stacked and their defence is young but emerging, but Oliver feels like he would complement the on-ball brigade of skipper Jordan Dawson, Matt Crouch and Rory Laird.

Adelaide also holds Pick 9, so could package that selection with its future first — and maybe a player too — for Oliver.


ROB and McAdam + pick 9 and 12-13(from bundling our 2nd rounders) for Oliver and Petty.

Just a question for the sell the farm advocates, a proposed series of trades on another board has us trading for 4 from GC, then packaging that with 9 and Thilthorpe for Oliver.

Overall cost is pick 9, F1, 4 2nd round picks and Riley Thilthorpe. Is that too much?

Yes. Throwing Thilthorpe in is like selling 2 farms.
 
Something that hasnt be explored or questioned yet, I would want to know how many strikes for taking drugs that a player has had before we traded heavy for him.

Im fine for selling the farm, but we need to know the worst case scenarios here.

No such thing as strikes if you pre-warn em you're getting trashed.
