I just would like to know why he thinks it ok to have an avatar of a players partner but I should change mine of Tex and Walshy

Crows traded down thinking cockatoo would be available, didn't think he would crack the top ten. Tried to save face after by claiming they wanted lever the whole time
I was under the assumption that it was the other way around, but I guess we don't know.
Just thought at the time, the trade seemed pointless unless geelong didn't think they'd get there man at 14 or so.

What?
The eagles were always going to take Cockatoo with their pick.
Geelong became that dead set keen on him and traded ahead of the eagles to take him from under their nose

Crows had lever real high but knew other clubs were scared off.
Lever always the target.

The Dees even had him rated third. They would have taken him next even if the pick was Top 10

They claimed outside run was their priority going into the draft. Cockatoo was a bolter, no one quite knew where he would land
Lever was touted as a possible top 10 selection, only slid a little due to his knee reco, so they're more than happy with how it has worked out

I reckon first rounder both years is enough.
You get 10 ish instead of 16ish plus a first rounder next year.
Maybe a player like gregson could be thrown in.
Yep Lever was our target with the pick we were going to get for Trengove.

I agree lever was touted as number 1 pick before he did his knee, he captained vic metro as an under age player, and crows needed another quality backman. Lever was the man all along

Just pointing out the flaw in the argument that the Cats wouldn't entertain the thought of trading a player purely because you gave them the #5 guernsey.
And trading Varcoe didn't free up any salary cap room for Dangerfield, he was traded out to bring Mitch Clark in who would no doubt be on as much, if not more coin than Travis.
Caroline Wilson just saying that PD wants Adelaide to accept the compensation and NOT force a trade....in contrast to what some posters are saying here.

Oh but it did create cap space. Varcoe was upwards of 500k as a premiership player. Clark is on a heavily performance based contract (hasn't done much of that in 2015 btw) which would be lucky to be 300k.
Re-read the first two words of your post.
Where's mahlepi now? I hear Siberia is full of rather large secluded expanses..... deleting accounts as we speak out of sheer embarrassment perhaps?

Well it's lucky PD isn't in charge of our recruiting department then!
Not saying it's gospel true...just an interesting contrast to those posters swearing blind that PD will 100% want Adelaide to trade.
Cant see a player being chucked in, we have to many spots to fill as it is. Gregson signed for a couple years during the year with Cockatoo, this years and next years first rounders will get it done.

Iol....
You do realise we didn't draft a single player fitting the "outside run" category you speak of... Go back and look at the players we selected - one hbf and the rest were KP/3rd tall types...
Don't pretend to know our drafting strategies, we were all over Lever and Rutten retiring sealed the deal.
