In English?

They know more and are more likely to be believed than anyone and BF discuss those rumours

Adelaide also gave up their 1st rounder with the Davis compensation for Brouch & Brown... so how about you stick to the facts.

Adelaide also had their coach suspended by the AFL for the Dees supposed non tanking... whislt the Dees fine was then repaid by the AFL.... & you were given plenty of early picks just to waste most on poor player selection.

Dees have been their own worst enemy.

Wow. Best have a lie down.

Davis and Sumner

Crouch and Brown 262 combined games for Adelaide and a compensation pick coming.

You’re right. Adelaide did just fine.

By “they” you mean who? Who exactly are you referring too?

And by BF you mean you are vigorously pushing the six clubs nonsense.


I wonder if I’ll find you vigorously arguing that media statements are so accurate and faithful in the Adelaide collective minds camp threads or if you have an about turn there?

Those in the media whose job it is to have contacts within the clubs and report on any of those discussions

So who gives you your opinions?

Lol

You can’t even name where you’ve gotten the suggestion about six clubs from even through I named him to you a few posts back.

What do you mean who gives me my opinions? You have a horrible grasp on English.

I'm perfectly relaxed enjoying a close game of footy drinking a quality SA red wine.

The point was we rated Brouch as we have up both the Phil Davis

compo & our 1st rounder to land him. Brown was thrown in as handy steak knives.

Hoping he remains a Crow, but really not sure.

I questioned you about your constant assertion that 6 clubs are in for Brad and I’ve tried to make sense of your gibberish since. Trying to deflect with that last line is weak ass shit.

Now you want to say the media have inside info? Wasn’t all the crow supporters saying how the media shouldn’t be trusted and how biased they all are?

Most of the media have nfi.

I would say less than 20% would actually be based on any intel.

 

[TryAnHit]

So it seems likely he will go from the bottom side in the AFL to one of the 2 sides in a GF for free.... System is not broken at all...
And yet people complain its bad because pick 2 could be on offer

It's the VFL. Relax

No i don't never said that at all

The media look for stories sometimes they are right sometimes they are wrong

Some have good contacts some don't

Their percentage of rights are far greater than BF

Some posters may even know Gary winter, will he say anything who knows

I’m Talking from a completely neutral position I think the system Is flawed.. I don’t really rate Crouch and I’d be disappointed to see the guy net Adelaide a top 2 pick.. but the real issue isn’t this particular case it’s the compensation as a whole.. the draft as just too heavily compromised.. I don’t care about past cases and the who benefited and who didn’t I would just like to see a free agency system with as little compromise to the draft as possible.. That would be either no compo (I’m happy with that) or dilute the compo so the bottom teams still get a high end pick (after all non finalists pick)..
I am a fair minded supporter but I’d like to see the Crows get less than significant Compensation for Crouch. I’d be pretty disappointed with Crouch as a supporter if I were with the Crows.. from his drug issue, his shopping himself last year, his empty words about wanting to stay with the club.. I don’t think the Crows have covered themselves in glory either.. All in all an end of first round pick is not far off what crouch would get in a trade so that’s in my eye where it should end..

I mean, Adelaide don't seem to be screeching with outrage over the prospect of him going.

You are right the whole system is flawed

I dont think Adelaide should pay say port through cash equalisation

I dont think the GF should be played at the MCG every year except when their is a global pandemic

I dont think clubs should get increased salary caps

I don't think tge acadamy system is fair

Should their be draft picks based on ladder position or should it be lottery

I mean the AFL still not told us right? As per list sizes it is crazy clubs do not know yet.
Surely is cap drops by 25% then every player contract goes down by 25% to fit into the new cap.... but who knows what will happen.

Hard for all these clubs to plan when they are walking blind.

Multi billion dollar industry and they can’t complete arguably the most important decision in its history

For what it's worth - word on our board from our best source is that he is a 'good chance' to come to tigers.

Would be a good fit for Richmond's style TBH. Get it and get it to the outside quick for your runners.

 

[daniel23]

The System is ****** scrap the compo, the players have decided they want free agency so it's not leaving . The compo puts clubs in a position to not match because the pick they could or generally get will be better then a trade.

If a player says he wants to go to another club he's given that club his word, i just don't think if his current club matches why he would backflip . Every bottom team who has lost a player through free agency has the ability to match because they're aren't struggling to pay there cap like Adelaide currently, also stops a top team from getting the player for free.

If Adelaide get 2 for crouch it's a joke hes worth a mid 1st at most . Its also an unfair of advantage they can just squeeze another pick in the draft order all of a sudden. The afl is such an average run organisation.

It's based on ladder position

Why?

To even up the comp

If we were top would would get pick 19 as a band 1

How about the other even uppers

Salary cap
Priority picks
Dradt picks
Equalisation fund
Acadamies

Then you just have the unknown inconsistencies which are just BS

Agree there should be no compensation for losing players. Distorts the system and leads to peculiar situations like this one.

Very rare a gun player from a top team leaves , franklin is the only one I can think of.

T. Kelly is another one for mine - albeit under very exceptional circumstances (Danger left the Crows, but I don't think they were Top 4 when he left)

 

[Shadow89]

Sounds like Richmond are in the box seat, according to their most reliable ITK. If you thought getting something from us was gonna be bad, it'll be like getting blood from a stone with the salary they'll offer/draft picks they have on hand
