Was that the worst ever trade period. Not 1 A grader traded at all. The closest would probably be Grundy?

what are you talking about - did you miss the 4 A graders recruited by the filth?

 

[Fritz n Sauce]

And Carlton knew about it before the trade.

 

[adelaidecrows]

Hollands has been served with a notice relating to an ellicit substance .....CARL traded for him aware of the breach

If Carlton knew its fair to say that all clubs who were interested were made aware. So for those bagging Adelaide for not having a crack, would have been hypocritical to chase him considering our history with Stengle.

 

[Crow till I die]

Poor lad..he must have taken it really hard when the crows did not draft him

We went after Oliver…..

 

[George Kramer]

How can the Melbourne management including coaches, pull their players in line considering their coach?

That’s got to have an effect

 

[Sanders]

Just admit it Colonel you got it wrong again and move on...

Carlton’s play for another Hollands​

Carlton could end up securing former pick 7 Elijah Hollands for a future third-round selection and a shuffle of 2023 selections in a deal to be brokered on Wednesday.

The Suns and Blues are both on the same page about the structure of a trade, with the Suns keen to move slightly up the draft order this year.

They are keen to ensure they have enough draft points to lock in all four of their academy prospects so they preserve their trio of 2024 first-round selections.

It means Gold Coast could accept a future third-rounder, then take Carlton’s pick 26 this year, but give back one of their selections which include 27, 28 and 32.

There are family reasons for Hollands who is desperate to play alongside brother Ollie back in Victoria, so, while the Suns might accept slightly less from a trade perspective, they are happy to do a deal for the midfielder.

Oh dear

 

[Sanders]

He's not in Australia.

Why are you taking the fringe element seriously?

 

[Sanders]

There’s a whole other side of the world people post from.

Ssshhhh he was trying to be so clever, don’t ruin it for him.

I think he needs it, let him have it

 

[Sanders]

And hello.... Oliver?

It was a tattoo gun needle in his foot, honest!

/speculation

Silvers making fun of you guys specificallyView attachment 1835579

We might want to achieve something before declaring that we had no need to improve

 

[Sanders]

Not really. We knew our list at the end of 2019 was coming to the end of the line so getting Grundy would with that contract and the draft capital involved would have set us back hugely

Quite the opposite.

We knew we still had the bones of a grand final team and wanted to turbo charge a renewed push with a major signing

This explains our mindset perfectly and shows why we did not go into the Nicks era expecting the dumpster fire we immediately became

I think we are looking at that word from different perspectives. When I said we, I meant the supporters, not the club

 

[Sanders]

It's performances enhancing as it was WADA testing him not the AFL it doesn't count as a strike, the guy is toast maximum 4 year ban in coming

You get 6 weeks in the NFL.

Different world.

 

[Sanders]

News breaking about Elijah Hollands facing drug charges in Queensland. May explain a lack of interest in him from most clubs

This turns out to be the personal issues that the herald sun was reporting that he needed to sort out before leaving

 

[Sanders]

The wording around Hollands' return to Victoria was something like, 'has some personal issues to resolve before leaving'.

So it was he needed permission to legally leave QLD?

I've not actually seen any quotes referencing any family issues.

Yes.

Ps Ciao Giacomo apology accepted

 

[s_wd6]

Cox's Wife just had a baby ....I assume she's from WA ....probably why he resigned to stay in WA

If all those assumptions are correct .....he was never coming to Sth Aust

His gf is pregnant and is from WA and from what I've heard very close to her family who all live here. There was zero chance he was going back home in those circumstances.

You would have thought Justin might have been a tad nervous chasing Grundy after the gibbs debacle.
Get that sugar hit of Grundy for the Premiership but we end up with the spoon instead

LOL ....that obviously is Baby #2

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Lol, WaynesWorld19 has gone early...

Can't see Cox coming back to Adelaide for a while.

 

[CROUCH #2]

The afl need to introduce a mid season draft weekend instead of 3 split bye weeks

 

[jenny61_99]

In competition? Out of competition in AFL is 12 weeks.

“the sanction is only three months if the athlete can prove the substance was used out of competition and was unrelated to sporting performance”.
