Would have been happy with a straight swap between Mcadam and ANB last year. Give Melbourne their pick back and be done with it.

Nope.Would have been happy with a straight swap between Mcadam and ANB last year. Give Melbourne their pick back and be done with it.
Oh yeah I ca see this happeningNope.
They wanted McAdam. We haven't pursued ANB - we're just making sure there's a list spot for him and paying his salary so he can continue his career near his family.
And in any event - when the F2 was negotiated, both sides thought it would be in the 30s, not 26. That's too early.
We have 42. That's fair.Oh yeah I ca see this happening
"We want pick 28"
"Oh, um well pick 28 is a bit too early. Pick 32 and we tallking but 28 is a roughy"
As a follower of SA talent, I remember reading nothing but complaints about him from Dee's supporters over the majority of his career. He was always a player on the fringe of best 22.ANB is twice the player of McAdam though
I believe we have an offer on the table for Berry. Club wants him at this point.We have 42. That's fair.
If we get offered a F2 by a premiership contender in exchange for a player like Berry, then I think we'd happily trade that on.
26 shouldn't be on the table.
I dont care what other supporters think. The same supporters were saying Grundy was going to be a main success. I've always rated ANB. Always. He'll be close to top 5 in our Bnf this year.As a follower of SA talent, I remember reading nothing but complaints about him from Dee's supporters over the majority of his career. He was always a player on the fringe of best 22.
I think you should go back and read your boards thread on him from the start, and you will see plenty of people calling his out as a vanilla stink average footballer

That was true aside from 2018 for the first part of his career.As a follower of SA talent, I remember reading nothing but complaints about him from Dee's supporters over the majority of his career. He was always a player on the fringe of best 22.

nah. pick 28. Adelaides 2nd. what we gave up for the Adelaide Scrub Mcadam.That was true aside from 2018 for the first part of his career.
From 2021 to now he has not been even close to fringe.
He used to be super fumbly but that hasn’t been the case for several years and his kicking is now solid.
The guy runs all day too.
I expect Melbourne will not fight at the trade table so pick 40 or whatever would probably do it.
My read is Melbourne feel ANB has done the right thing by the club. They won’t draw this out.nah. pick 28. Adelaides 2nd. what we gave up for the Adelaide Scrub Mcadam.
what do you mean by forced regeneration. Losing ANB for pick 40 is going backwards, not forwards. pick 28 and doneMy read is Melbourne feel ANB has done the right thing by the club. They won’t draw this out.
A bit of forced regeneration to Melbourne’s half forward/mid area also isn’t the worst thing for the team.
We didn't chase him, he wants to come home due to family reason and we are willing to put him on our list and take his contract and you still expect pick 28.what do you mean by forced regeneration. Losing ANB for pick 40 is going backwards, not forwards. pick 28 and done
Forced regeneration means some of the younger mid/half forwards on the list play instead of a 29 year old.what do you mean by forced regeneration. Losing ANB for pick 40 is going backwards, not forwards. pick 28 and done
oh yeah, I definitely agree. I'm a little ruthless in my approach but I'd be totally fine with trading Trac, Viney and Oliver etc. because like you said, we need to regenerate.Forced regeneration means some of the younger mid/half forwards on the list play instead of a 29 year old.
You're not playing finals, I don't think either SA side needs him. Maybe west Coast is a better option and better for he's longevityI dont care what other supporters think. The same supporters were saying Grundy was going to be a main success. I've always rated ANB. Always. He'll be close to top 5 in our Bnf this year.
What? He wants to return to SA for family reason.You're not playing finals, I don't think either SA side needs him. Maybe west Coast is a better option and better for he's longevity
There's zero job security for him at either club. I don't think either team needs him and he's contractWhat? He wants to return to SA for family reason.

Hes 29, a 16 -22 picked for Melbourne this year, in a side that won't play finals and is going backwards. Adelaide have young guys on.the improve, port are a top 4 sideHe is pretty clearly a best 22 player at both Adelaide and Port IMO.

I think he still has 2 years left on his contract and turn 29 in Jan next year, if his form doesn't significantly drop in the next few year (currently will be in our best 22) then I can't see why he wouldn't be offer another year extension.There's zero job security for him at either club. I don't think either team needs him and he's contract
I mean, either way it sounds like he’ll be heading back to SA, so contracted/not contracted isn’t a huge contributor hereHim being contracted will make it pick 28, it’s just how it works.
42 if he wasn’t contracted.
Usually if a club chase a player than they will offer overs.......Him being contracted will make it pick 28, it’s just how it works.
42 if he wasn’t contracted.
Yep but neither club needs him, he wants to go home, he's not going to make either side win a flag. In terms of he's professional longevity of playing afl, it's a dumb moveHim being contracted will make it pick 28, it’s just how it works.
