Report confirmed that GWS want F2 and 46

I’d do it if we get 56 back

Yep I agree.

The thing thats making me uneasy right now is knowing how strong this draft is being seen as and we see a number of clubs at the back end of the top 10 and a bit beyond openly putting their 1sts up for bid and we can't play ball to get an extra pick around 10 in this draft - Draper and say Travaglia would be so good....hmm

I would do F1 and 46 for Peatling and pick 21

Would be nice to have that flexibility, but I’m not too fussed, keeping that F1 means we maintain the capital required to have a crack at a NWM-type

 

[bettingonbetts]

gws get: our F1, our F2, 46

That makes no sense. We are walking away with two first rounders.
This years draft is considered a super draft ontop of that

Pick 21 does us no good, as we don't have any vacancies to fill with it. Our draft will be pick #4 and Welsh.

Hmm so this fantasy Cumming bump up to her them better compo was just fantasy

 

[1970crow]

I want to know how they explain giving him an extra year on the board.

Seriously with all Roo is doing, why the **** wouldn’t he give it up? The bloke must be knackered all the time, no wonder he can’t think straight

They can't give him an extra year on the board, but guess what? Good news is that despite Neil Balme's ill-health and Graham Wright choosing the Carlton gig, we've managed to persuade Roo to stick around in a newly created, highly paying Director of Football role.

 

[1970crow]

That Gibbs trade was a bloody disgrace.
How anyone thought that was a good idea at the time is beyond me.

 

[bettingonbetts]

Makes sense but hands aren’t completely tied. We can always drop a contracted player/trade a player

 

[DJ75]

But their fathers do & that's where all the good ones come from apparently.

No, no that's not it.

Roo lives in Adelaide and as long as you've been his mate, you are right for the job.

I wonder what the non-thinkers have to say now? You know the ones that said there was no point getting anything back in the ANB trade because we couldn't use it anyway.

GIANTS PUSH FOR TWO PICKS​

GREATER Western Sydney has been keen on Adelaide's future second-round pick and selection No.46 in this year's draft in exchange for midfielder James Peatling.

But the Crows are not expected to hand over the selections, with more negotiations likely in coming days.

Adelaide's future second-round pick is set to be the central part of the trade talks between the clubs, with the Giants starting with an eye on the Crows' second remaining pick this season as well (No.46 is Adelaide's next selection after its pick No.4).

I reckon we should just pay it, if Welsh slips far enough we have no use for it. And if he doesn't, well, we just start eating into our 2025 3rd round pick. Having already spent our second and looking like replacing about 5 delisted players. Definitely was not worth playing hardball over ANB and demanding a 3rd or F3 back, best just to fold early so we can move onto other deals.

 

[Vader]

None of which is happening.

 

[El Doederino]

Walk away from the Peatling deal. We don’t need him, we’re paying him too much and GWS asking price is too much for a guy they only offered a 1 year deal to. This ain’t aggressive, it’s stupid.

 

[glengowan]

List managers don’t live in Adelaide

Ours should, as should all the major positions within the club.

Lmao what

 

[NSolis]

Not sure if you're kidding but GWS offered Peatling four years. Hard to see how F2 and change is a bad price, leaving aside whether the Crows actually want to pay it or not.

 

[crow2crow]

That makes no sense. We are walking away with two first rounders.

it does make sense
they get a good first next year
we get two shit firsts. pick 15 will be 20 on the night.

If you're 'walking away' from any deal, ANB was the one. He wasn't going to be suiting up for Melbourne next year and Port weren't going to be able to offer more than us. So walking away would only see them grovelling back late in the piece hoping to get something.

I want some of what this guy is on

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Ours should, as should all the major positions within the club.

It doesn’t make any sense for a list manager to live in Adelaide

It would put the club at a competive disadvantage


There’s a reason all list managers across the comp including WA ones live in melb

Definitely was not worth playing hardball over ANB and demanding a 3rd or F3 back, best just to fold early so we can move onto other deals.

If we have no F2 and go into deficit it will eat into our future 1st. If this does go down that way then rolling over on the ANB deal just looks incompetent. They should have at least held off until having talked to GWS.

If you're 'walking away' from any deal, ANB was the one. He wasn't going to be suiting up for Melbourne next year and Port weren't going to be able to offer more than us. So walking away would only see them grovelling back late in the piece hoping to get something.

Ideally ANB and Peatling for our F2, F3 & pick 43 would have been the best outcome. Take 27 to the draft in what looks to be a good hitting zone.
