This is the official statement from GWS:

"Jackson has informed the club of his hope to return to South Australia so we will now investigate trade options with a view to getting the best possible outcome for the Giants"

Their official Tweet also states in the first line that he wishes to be traded to the Adelaide Crows.

Former first round midfielder Aidan Bonar was traded after two years for a future 3rd round pick

Bonar had that injury history though, also played less games in his two years at the Giants

Hately will cost more, hopefully not a lot more though, we do have the leverage in discussions here

Didn't Bonar have injury issues? Matt Kennedy is probably a more apt comparison anyway.

So this adds a third first round pick to our 2018 draft crop (Jones, McHenry + Hately) as well as Hamill and Sholl, of course

 

[pjcrows]

Excellent

 

[StonesThrow]

This is such an unusual feeling.

What did we get for greenwood? Here's hoping for a deal that offsets that shite.

Hope they don't ask for a really high pick otherwise that would add disappointment to picking him up. Can anyone tell me what he would bring to our midfield?

Very pleased about this, will allow him to develop properly with hopefully some inside time with less competition

 

[Danger in Texas]

The club has now confirmed the request

"Giants midfielder Jackson Hately has informed Adelaide of his desire to join the Club during the upcoming trade period.

The Crows will now work with Greater Western Sydney to finalise a deal to secure the 19-year-old South Australian.

The 2020 AFL Trade Period is scheduled to commence on November 4."

As he hasn't played much and is underexposed, it's a good buy low pick up. I reckon GWS will ask for 20 or or future 2nd next year but if we dig in, 29 should get it done.

Size, strength, elite hands, elite endurance, versatility, scoreboard impact.

I really like the sounds of that, let's hope he can reach his potential back home.

Strong overhead and a strong tackler as well. He's well rounded.

Translation: We're going to be pricks.

 

[JackBero]

thank f*ck
gives me peace of mind that if we lose a crouch, we have a reliable player.
him and keays will be a DREAM TEAM

We will get rid of that

 

[JPetro83]

Great news. will slot straight into our best 22. I think we can get him with the Atkins compo pick we get. So probably end of 2nd round pick which will end up being 37-45ish

 

[Mutineer]

We will get rid of that

Didn't with Ben Keays, not yet anyhow...

 

[Bearded Clam]

Happy to hand over the wb pick.. we should keep a good trading relationship with GWS.

But anyways...

One down... Two (get Rankine and Luko in the coming years) to go!...

We’ll eventually get em, you watch.

 

[Cap]

Well it is a nice change to have someone actually name the Crows, pick #14 in the '18 draft as well.

What has stalled his development? just a touch midfield to break into?

 

[pjcrows]

Translation: We're going to be pricks.

Translation: This is what every club says.

We hold Pick 1 in the PSD.

 

[Mutineer]

Translation: We're going to be pricks.

Don't recall GWS not being reasonable to deal with too often if at all?

 

[StonesThrow]

Can only think that the crows have earmarked him for midfield time and have indicated to him as such.

Don't think he'll ever be a star, but has potential see be a pretty decent big bodied mid. Should add some diversity around the ball going forward.
