As much as we could have expected really. Glad this just got done. Twomey was on the money about this being sorted a while back.
Traded Alex Neal-Bullen - Traded to the Crows in exchange for their 2024 R2 selection (currently pick 28)

This feels generous from the Crows. Unusual to see a deal done so quickly that's generous like this.
Good post on the Adelaide board about similar deals.

Very astute observation that it is the exact same pick that’s gone back and forth
Then we paid overs for him.

I have no problem with 28 for ANB. It’s near or near enough fair value.
Happy with our off season this far, if only we could football

Seems like such a Neil Craig Crowbot era player.
Hard running, very vanilla workhorse.
Think 28 is pretty close to fair value.

That's inaccurate.
McAdam was traded for a F2 from a premiership contender, expected to be around 35+.
ANB was traded for 28.
Future picks are always worth less.

You’ve managed to find only three instances over a 5 year period. Wouldn’t say that that thats “half the draftees smashing the vets’. It actually shows the opposite of what you’re saying.
And even then it doesn’t prove your point as those guys could improve on that time trail throughout their career at some point.

With our current picks we have pick 29 covered. Assuming our picks fall back 4-5 spaces we still have pick 34 covered.
I don’t see Welsh going any higher

I'd take Neil Craig honourable prelim losses over the dross this club has served us since 2006.
I’d take ANB over all of those except for maybe Tom Mitchell. I bet none of those finished top 3 in the best and fairest the year they were traded

Happy with the pick up. Seems overs to me but if it was say pick 35 then I'd say fair deal and is 7 picks really that much difference, no it isn't.
Absolute steal. Great work Crows.

A bigger deal out west.
Seems a reasonable deal for both parties, which was always on the cards with AVB being contracted.

28 will get pushed back into the 30s anyway after academy/father sons.
Seems fair on face value.

Overs?
- premiership play
- finished 3rd in this years BnF
- four top 10 BnF finishes in a row
- Oozes leadership which we lack on-field
- ultra consistent which many of our players are not consistent

Calling it overs is purely due to the fact he’ll be 29 at the start of next season. If he was 26, entirely different story.
The post above of similar aged players traded was a good comparison. Not doubting he’s a good pickup.
I like ANB and sad that he has left. I wish him all the best with the Crows.
I think his value is for a pick in the 35-45 range, which is where pick 28 will likely land after the compo/fs/academy picks are sorted.
The Crows are really putting together a hell of a offseason so far with their acquisitions. I would have loved to have landed Peatling or Cumming and you got both! Kudos!

I don't think Neal-Bullen is worth pick 28. I don't think that Neal-Bullen is in Adelaide's best 22. I am no authority on Neal-Bullen and the evidence suggests that I will be proven wrong. I will be happy to be proven wrong, but at at the moment I don't like this trade.
Jesus Christ, the so called experts rated Melbourne a C for this trade suggesting we should have got more.
Adelaide should thank their lucky stars it was so cheap.

Not in Adelaide’s best 22!!
He will be a more consistent performer than half our team. Will be top 12 for sure.
Go and watch some highlights and see what we are getting

Who do you have above him? I have him at 10 provide his form doesn't totally desert him due to his age and maybe 11 if Keays continue his form from this year.
