It means we get Jagga Smith.
Both will be gone in 12 months unless they improve quickly. Can't see either of them getting many games next year tbh with our 3 inclusions and pick 4 coming into the starting 22.
Cook has plenty of talent but just doesn't impact games. He needs to find a way to get more involved, having all that skill doesn't mean much if you don't get the ball.
Cook’s under contract until 2026
Get Brad Crouch vibesIt means we get Jagga Smith.

And that's probably fair enough.
He has a lot of talent, and came in after COVID miles behind physically.
Should absolutely be hitting it so he's physically the best he can be. He may not ever be able to physically match his football talent.

Honestly he's nothing like Brad Crouch stylistically, you probably couldn't have a more different player if you tried.
Brad Crouch before all his injuries was more Dangerfield than most players compared to Patty, unfortunately his groins issues saw Brad lose his exceptional accelaration and pace so he became a more inside bull.

You and me both.
At that point personally I'd be looking at Bo Allan and trading down and getting a decent pick in for 2025 if possible.
We need a mid with exceptional burst speed that can get separation as Nathan Bassett is saying...currently the only mid we have with that is part-timer Izak Rankine, perhaps Edwards who I've seen a bit of that in the SANFL...Jagga Smith IMO is just a fair bit better version of Zac Taylor with better agility.

I'd be ecstatic if we got Jagga Smith. He feels like a guaranteed 200 gamer, better than many of his peers by foot and just has great footy positioning.
I don't think it's bad to draft the player who has consistently been amongst the absolute best.

We will have the choice of 2 VERY nice footballers. Hard not to be excited of whichever we get.

I’ve got it on pretty good authority that West Coast were going to pick either FOS or Draper.
Carlton taking their selection might be a blessing for Adelaide.
Not if Carlton just does the same.

Maybe - but pick 4 will get a top shelf mid no matter what, so the Crows are happy no matter what.

I think Smith will come into our calculations more so than WCE.

Sign him early to a long term deal like we did with Rash and Soli. Tired of this view that all the young draftees are going to P5ss off early.

If Reid/Hamish somehow manage to get Draper and Dodson in this draft they almost deserve statues outside of Adelaide Oval. Would be enormous.
To do that Reid has to delist someone and then make a palatable pick trade.
Can't see it

Yes he would indeed have to pull the proverbial rabbit out of the hat to pull it off...
Dodson would effectively solve our long term Ruck dilemma. IMO I would almost go as far of trading out next years first to get it done.
Not against that TBH, it's the first bit that would be the hardest.
We seem totally against delisting a contracted player
