Carlton will trade their pick 7 for two lower picks around 15/18 you’d think to get saad.

I’d honestly look into trading our first this year to get into that pick 7 range. Will accomodate their Saad pick. Would our first this year and next year get it done for their pick 7 this year and 2nd round pick next year??
The issue with doing that this year is that the draft is super compromised early with academy selections, and half the kids haven't barely played due to Covid. I'd imagine with lack of exposed form it makes it harder to clearly seperate the top talent as easily as previous years.

This is the same bloke that said houlis going to essendon?
He literally just makes an article about any out of contract player and attempts to link them elsewhere.

Sad to lose that talent. I was hoping that 2021 might ve given chance to redeem himself.
He may stay, but it will be the leadership group who make the call - if he does he will need to tone himself down
 
Williams is and will be a very good midfielder for them. Was great in the 2019 finals series and it's very hard to break into that midfield. A great get for them who costs them nothing but cap room, which they would have plenty of.

That may very well turn out that way mate, who knows but you see that is the joy in how crazy the blues are. My point is this, I would be ropeable if our club paid close to a Lynch wage on a player to play a midfield role who in his career to date has not shown consistent form playing that position. It's like us getting Lynch and saying because he had a two good final games in the midfield as a ruck, we are paying him 700k a season as a ruck......its crazy.

Also he was pathetic in the GF as a mid, that ineffectual they ended up putting him in the back line
 
Constable would be very good for us. If we are likely to lose Broad, Markov..potentially Stack/CCJ, I would absolutely hope we target players like Constable/Sharp in return, otherwise it is pointless.

Constable 100% on the radar mate but all the noise is that he will most likely stay at the cats. Shits getting crazy now though lol

If he were THAT good a mid at GWS he would still be there let's be honest.

Couldn't care less about Markov going. Broad is the one we need to keep.

Sharp is very outside, great athletically, but a very poor kick. Pass. Constable ? Geezuz....has a kicking efficiency of 23% and averages 4 clangers a game !!!

Adelaide Crows set to hand down sanctions to Brad Crouch and Tyson Stengle for being caught with drugs but the ban won’t follow Crouch if he walks out
Adelaide is set to hand down significant sanctions to Tyson Stengle and Brad Crouch for being caught with drugs within days. And we can reveal what the ban will mean for a rival club if the star free agent leaves the Crows.

Adelaide is poised to hand down sanctions to Tyson Stengle and Brad Crouch for being caught with drugs by the end of the week but any club-imposed ban will not travel with Crouch to his new home if he leaves West Lakes as a free agent.

The Advertiser understands the only way a ban would follow Crouch to his new home is if the AFL imposes its own sanction on the star midfielder which is unlikely to happen.

But it will not stop the Crows from handing down a significant penalty to the pair who were pulled over by police while in a taxi in the city at 5am last Monday and allegedly found to be in possession of an illicit substance.

They were not charged and are yet to receive official notification of whether they will be hit with a strike under the AFL’s illicit drugs policy.

A decision on how many games Crouch and Stengle will be banned for next season and how much they will be fined has been discussed by the Crows and their leadership group, the AFL, AFL Players’ Association and their management.

The penalty is expected to be significantly more than the four games and $2500 that Adelaide handed to Stengle when he was caught drink driving in April.

While Stengle signed a two-year contract extension in August, Crouch appears increasingly likely to leave Adelaide to join a Victorian rival but the Crows can match the offer if they want him to stay.

The Advertiser has been told a club-based sanction does not apply if a player changes clubs so Crouch would be free to play in Round 1 next year if he joins a rival.

Brodie Smith, who is in Adelaide’s leadership group, told The Lowdown Podcast he learnt of the incident by Crows football manager Adam Kelly last week and his concern now was making sure Crouch and Stengle were being supported.

“I got a phone call the next day from Adam Kelly to let me know what had happened and as leaders we had to find a time to get together and discuss it and get through the detail and work out what the next move was going to be,” Smith said.

“That happened last week and I believe the club is getting close to announcing some sort of sanction but for us it was more our opinion on what happened and what the sanctions could possibly look like as leaders.

“Obviously there is a big investigation, the AFL get involved, the AFLPA and their managers as well so there is a big process to go through and with us not playing games at the moment it’s not something we need to rush ... there is no sanction that’s going to affect the next few weeks.

“So they (the club) will decide what it’s going to look like before the break.

“We just give our opinion, small input, it’s not our job to be giving sanctions, it’s more for us to be finding out what happened and helping the guys involved, obviously both of them are shattered, devastated about what happened.

“So it’s more about getting around them, we are still their teammates and we want to look after them and have to help them through this situation.

“No doubt there is going to be a sanction but as players it’s about helping our mates and getting them through whatever is going on.

“I know they’re in good hands and I’ve touched base with both of them to make sure they are doing OK, it wasn’t trying to find out what happened to getting stuck into them, it’s more about trying to help them through this.”

There was however better news for Adelaide on Monday with GWS midfielder Jackson Hately requesting a trade back to South Australia to join the Crows next season.

Smith worked with Hately in the state under-18 program the year he was drafted and said he was excited by the young midfielder’s decision.

“It’s exciting, he’s a great lad and that big-bodied midfielder that we are after at the moment so he should slot in nicely,” Smith said.

“I’ve kept a bit of an eye on him the last couple of years as I do with all the guys I worked with that year so hopefully we can work through something with the Giants quickly and get him over as soon as possible.”





How do you get pulled over by the cops in a cab, and searched? What kind of behaviour is going on there?
