Looks as though they will be loading up in a draft that is shallow after the first two.
Recipe for mediocrity. Even the most average observer (myself) can see that their list is going nowhere. If I were a coach I would be wary of going for that job. If I was a mature player I wouldn’t touch them with a ten foot barge pole.
Tough times ahead.

Article in SEN AFL that Adelaide could break previous record of departures from trade. Previous record of 9 at GWS... "Cam Ellis-Yolmen (Brisbane), Sam Jacobs (GWS), Alex Keath (Western Bulldogs), Hugh Greenwood (Gold Coast) and Josh Jenkins (TBD) have all asked for moves out of the Crows. On top of that, Eddie Betts (Carlton), Riley Knight (Sydney), Brad Crouch (Gold Coast), Brodie Smith (Brisbane) and Rory Laird (Geelong) have all been linked with moves"

If any crows
Crows fans don’t seem to mind who is leaving. Something about only Knight would be a big loss and the rest should be moved on anyway. The rest of the players who were all regulars in a team that finished 10-12 lol. If Adelaide win more than 5 games in 2020 I would be astonished.

What a train wreck of a season. Rather funny considering how hard they were trolling us when we were at rock bottom. I’m just glad we snapped up #TeagueTrain when we did, because they’d be going after him full steam ahead. Choo Choo.

Didn’t GWS also have an extended list at the time and as the list number was brought back they had to make more cuts???
I angered myself be going to their board again, need to stop doing that, how they think Matt Crouch & Brad Crouch will get them the top 2 picks is beyond me. Yet they are now getting all upset that the bias vic media says they won’t

He’ll be disappointed. SOS only offering a very weak, floppy handshake.
Non issue - A risk assessment would have identified that GCS were very likely to receive a PP pick this year if, as expected they were to finish near the bottom.

Do you mean like, applying this same logic last year, to the year before that, and so on? Is that the “likelihood“ you’re refereeing to? Don’t you really just mean unguided discretion, of someone or something thing, incapable of assisting in any sort of reliable assessment?
Pick 82 or whatever we have for Betts. A lot of his salary paid by Adelaide.

If gcs finished behind us last year, then a 1st rd pp may have been a chance. Media reports at the time indicated that a first round PP was seriously considered before being decided against - most of the commentary re:assistance wasn’t about the blues, but how much the suns needed it.
Given assistance was provided last year, and the AFLs support for qld (lions pp, gcs expansion), it would not be unreasonable to expect some level of compensation if gcs were rubbish again this year. I also note that pre-season, gcs was largely predicted as spoon favourites.
Looking at the overall picture, you would have to expected there to be some significant assistance provided - particularly if it could be provided without assisting another club.
Risk assessment of trade would have flagged this.
Not only that, the blues could potentially have finished higher than they did - similarly, a host of other factors can potentially impact final draft selection. Hence compensation to gcs is a non-issue with respect to trading of future draft picks

I reject the notion of reasonableness in the context used in your post above. The word “likelihood“ suggests an outcome that‘s more probable than improbable; furthermore, a somewhat “reliable” indicator of “likely” future conduct is past conduct. There‘s sweet little in the AFL‘s modern past, to reliably suggest they would give a pre round 1 priority pick; particularly after its most recent sell and introduction of future trading.
I think what you’re referring to as “reasonable,” when referring to “reliable” assessment, is really little more than an opportunistic post fact guess.
