Confirmed Alex Neal-Bullen - Traded to the Crows in exchange for their 2024 R2 selection (currently pick 28)

[markm106]

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.

 

[Magma]

improves the team on and off field as a player and a leader + finals and winning experience. pretty happy with that.

 

[Mostyn]

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.

[Rory Walkerfield]

Crows turning McAdam into ANB effectively is such a fleecing. That McAdam trade an all time bust.

Very astute observation that it is the exact same pick that’s gone back and forth

 

[ABAB]

lol that's all factually incorrect.

Then we paid overs for him.

 

[Rory Walkerfield]

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

 

[SSSSSS]

Seems like such a Neil Craig Crowbot era player.

Hard running, very vanilla workhorse.

Think 28 is pretty close to fair value.

 

[Mostyn]

Very astute observation that it is the exact same pick that’s gone back and forth

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.

 

[CrowTownRoad]

they actually do. in many cases. when a player puts on 10kg of muscle, you think that's going to be advantageous to their running?

You must surely be shocked every previous when half of the draftees smash the vets in the time trials. Come on now.

Throw in Ollie Hollands, Reuben Ginbey, I could go on and on.

• https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/1261329/draftee-shines-in-time-trial
• https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/news/1261329/draftee-shines-in-time-trial
• https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/af...s/news-story/00c68e05bdefa730ce737fe1c5352e84

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.

 

[rabidcrow]

Would have liked 48 or 53 back just in case for Welsh.

But simple enough.

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

Hard running, very vanilla workhorse.

Think 28 is pretty close to fair value.

I'd take Neil Craig honourable prelim losses over the dross this club has served us since 2006.

 

[The 747]

Simple trade is done simply. Easy work.

 

[Drewie11]

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.

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

 

[Aussie_boy]

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.

 

[windyhill]

Absolute steal. Great work Crows.

 

[Golumless]

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

 

[The 747]

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.

He's a good AFL player, not overs at all.

 

[Cringle]

28 will get pushed back into the 30s anyway after academy/father sons.

Seems fair on face value.

 

[Shifty Crow]

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.

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.

 

[TheBoss]

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!
