We say that every year with Nicks.Why were so many games spent on McHenry and Hammil this year, when it was clear they were going to be delisted....
The answers got better as the interview went on.Adam Kelly:
Pick 25 for ANB? "I think it would be fair to say that that will be part of any deal that we do."
Expect to lose/trade anyone? "We don't but ... who knows what happens during trade period."
Any other trade targets: "As we stand here today, the players that we've targeted are the ones we've spoken about (Cumming, Peatling, ANB) but what happens in the next week or two, who would know."
Changes to coaching dept or footy dept due to Murray Davis arrival? "The one thing we have to acknowledge is that as soon as you make a call to bring in someone of that seniority in what is a totally constrained soft cap environment, that has the potential to have a squeeze somewhere else. We're still working through that. It's only been this week that we've been able to secure Murray so we still have to work through that."
Graham Wright? "Given Graham's experience and successes in the game he is one of the most respected football administrators and for very good reason. And given that, there'd be a lot of organisations exploring the opportunity of having Graham join them. So I don't know what the likelihood would be but I know it would be pretty competitive as far as trying to attract his services."
Sid Draper
"Early days there may have been some conversations more with this management. What happens across the year, and particularly this time of the year, there's a lot of misinformation. We're quite pleased to see Sid come out and set that straight."
Peatling: "We love his competitiveness and we love the speed that he brings in, his agility. He stood up in some finals as well. He's someone who's on a really strong trajectory now that he's been given opportunity and we see that with even more opportunity with us, that he can take his game to another level."
Keeping pick 4: "What has been important to us is protecting pick four ... we've got a lot of confidence in this year's draft and especially at that pointy end of the draft so that's been pleasing that we haven't had to part with that as a part of the negotiations."
As I said... other similar variations.or
ANB for 25 and a third back
Peatling for F2
Our F1 for Pick 17 and Sydneys F1. Unfortunately 17 still might not get dodson given how much it will slide.
assuming we manufacture list spots
prefer your trade but dont think gws would do that in case we finish above them
McHenry only played 1 game after R10. Hamill mostly played on an "as needed" basis all season, with no games after R16.Why were so many games spent on McHenry and Hammil this year, when it was clear they were going to be delisted....
We gave Ned a block of games early in the season, I suspect we basically said to him “show us what you’ve got or you’re gone”.Why were so many games spent on McHenry and Hammil this year, when it was clear they were going to be delisted....
2014-17 very very lean as well. Explains why we have had so many gaps in our mature-age list.2018 & 2019 drafts were monumental f**k ups for the crows. Only good player to really come out of those 2 years was Worrell, and even then he had to wait a few years to play in the main team
We were able to pick him up due to Sloane retiringMurray picked in the midseason rookie draft
So could think of him replacing Parnell or Hamill
Explains why we finished 15thHow can we have McHenry repeatedly dropped and then delisted yet Murphy is in the leadership group with no signs of either.
Same position and very similar stats.

Wrong year to be OOCHow can we have McHenry repeatedly dropped and then delisted yet Murphy is in the leadership group with no signs of either.

Hamill is unlucky as clearly deserved to be kept ahead of a cooked Smith.Why were so many games spent on McHenry and Hammil this year, when it was clear they were going to be delisted....
Burgess offers more as a backup.I would have kept Gollant over Burgess, but clearly we must have stupidly signed Burgess to a long term deal when we traded him in.
Not really as not AFL standard.Burgess offers more as a backup.
I think Laird will be top 5 at the B&F. Maybe even top 3.Would've preferred Smith to go before Hamill. I think he should've stayed as he was very good in a few of our wins, and would be very handy against the likes of Hawthorn who have fleet-footed forwards. Laird's another who should've gone IMHO as he now just panics when he has the ball, and with Peatling and Cumming now in, I don't see how we can play him in the seniors.
to see if we wanted themWhy were so many games spent on McHenry and Hammil this year, when it was clear they were going to be delisted....
We delist every year though and we choose to extend him.Wrong year to be OOC
Same should have applied to Murphy!We gave Ned a block of games early in the season, I suspect we basically said to him “show us what you’ve got or you’re gone”.
When you open the link to the X feed they have Curtin and Pick 4 as the others on the bench.They are reducing the interchange bench?
Hopefully increasing to 5.
Weren't there only three listed players who didn't get games?McHenry only played 1 game after R10. Hamill mostly played on an "as needed" basis all season, with no games after R16.
It's not as if their cards were marked before the start of the season. They were phased out once the decision was made that they were no longer required.
Every club delists players who played AFL games during the season. If anything, the 31 AFL games played by our departing players is on the low side.
