If this happens we are ****ed!!

So that’s OK but telling Tippett we would trade him for a second is draft tampering.

Hang on, how on earth can they manipulate the draft compo system like that. They specifically stopped anything like that happening when B Crouch was leaving so they better not sign off on something like that and I would expect our club to be screaming it from the rooftops if there is even a sniff of it

Isn't this exactly what we weren't allowed to do for Brad Crouch? Its only illegal if we do it

That’s draft tampering

AFL can’t not introduce pick purchasing then allow it in this fashion that disadvantages other clubs

And worth draft sanctions as it’s blatantly manipulating compo

that would go pretty close to killing free agency compo and have serious repercussions for both clubs when it comes to draft manipulation.

Wasnt this bullshit scenario that same we tried to do with the Saints and Brouch, but couldnt because of the AFL, ie draft tampering?

That's the reason for it - but the end result is still them paying $4.5M for Graham, which is clearly draft tampering.

You idiots. Its a twitter troll producing a scenario which could never happen.

 

[Brett Cummings]

McCartney on Tradio didn’t really sound like he’d be a super hard-arse on the Peatling deal, said they’d ‘work through it with the Crows’

Doesnt need to be. Kelly has already admitted he sucks at poker.

 

[AFC979810]

Mitch "Everyone is paying attention to Tom Morris and Sam McClure" Cleary is getting bored.

Smart man.... How can I post a potential trade that has 0% of actually working in the real world, but will get all of the idiots on the Adelaide board frothing at the mouth to generate clicks.

I doubt mitch even knows bigfooty exists.

 

[Danger in Texas]

So, when is the Cumming signing being announced? Didn’t think it’d take all day

 

[FR0GGY]

I doubt mitch even knows bigfooty exists.

Not really the point

 

[Crow till I die]

You idiots. Its a twitter troll producing a scenario which could never happen.

I don't even want a soft narrative getting pushed out there to start a conditioning process so that on the outside chance something like that is proposed it might grow legs.

 

[ams4crows]

Dew is staying at Brisbane, so not coming to either Adelaide or Port

 

[AFC979810]

I doubt mitch even knows bigfooty exists.

Maybe. But he is doing it for clicks from twitter idiots, but the Bigfoot idiots are joining in.

 

[crow2crow]

Dew is staying at Brisbane, so not coming to either Adelaide or Port

so getting murray also screwed the powa

Do you check to make sure the front door is locked 14 times before going to bed?

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Josh Money looking dumber and dumber every day

Think we need to call him Notonthe..

 

[BRL121]

It comes down to if West Coast think they can keep Reid in the long term and if they think Smith is a flight risk or not hence them prefering Draper as he'll be easier to keep.

Given Draper's recent comments, why would he be more of a flight risk? We need him to tank the interview.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

You idiots. Its a twitter troll producing a scenario which could never happen.

.... unless Geelong benefit

 

[arrowman]

Yep would have loved that pick in the 20s

I imagine our F1 would very likely get us GWS picks 15 or 16 if we desperately want one of these players still left on the board (with perhaps something additional coming back to us this year even)

I'm very open to trading our F1 for that sort of return. We may see a live trade on draft night.

 

[WAG]

Can everyone calm down?!?!? Nobody is paying Graham 4.5 million. You idiots - in no scenario does this eventuate.

Yeah but why do you have to be a d!ck about it?


Also, it's the AFL. You just have to look at some of their previous decisions to understand why 'the idiots' would have some reservations about this scenario.

 

[crow2crow]

Given Draper's recent comments, why would he be more of a flight risk? We need him to tank the interview.

Its easy... this is what you say.

I'm really excited about the prospect of you drafting me and having the experience of living in xyz for the next three years and would love to be at xyz. But adelaide will always be home, got lots of friends and family, and will be seeking to move home as soon as possible.

Thats not draft tampering its just being honest.

 

[George Kramer]

You idiots. Its a twitter troll producing a scenario which could never happen.

No shit Sherlock, clearly knew it was a journo throwing up a stupid suggestion and it wasn’t reality. The reactions have been imagine if we pulled off something like that would have been the consequences.

But glad your effort amused you.

 

[dplggr47]

Edmund on SEN just got off the phone and believes the Oliver to Geelong has fallen over. Melb have decided it's too hard and will announce Clarry is staying.

Hope so. I'm sick of Geelong trading all their picks and then coming out and saying, we have nothing left to give you but you must give us the player that wants to come here. They've already promised their first rounder for Bailey Smith, which I think they should definitely be giving more than that. Then want Oliver for nothing.

 

[jo172]

Dew is staying at Brisbane, so not coming to either Adelaide or Port

Jeez the vibes economy is really turning against Port this off-season.

And without off-season vibes I'm really not sure what they stand for any more.

I do

 

[Mr_Moogle]

I wish Wright would come to Adelaide. He would actually be able to do some real work here. Do Carlton even need him?

 

[Dc9798]

So, when is the Cumming signing being announced? Didn’t think it’d take all day

Esepcially when it was the first FA lodged this morning
