Traded Shane McAdam [Traded to Melbourne for F2]

The way Melbourne are handling trades by offering unders and demanding overs, I would rather the Crows play hardball. I'm not sure why anyone thinks a pick near 40 is his worth if we compare him to some other players and their values.
Not Sure 2nd rounder For McAdam is unders and if Ade choose not to accept that then that's fine too. Who is Melb demanding overs on hope not talking about Petty cause Melb havent put him up for trade.
 
Harmes could've stayed, but was on the edge of our best-22, same as McAdam. Dude's played what, 50 games?

Petty's about as relevant to a McAdam trade as us asking for Fogarty.
That's not the point, you didn't want to pay his contract anymore as you don't consider him in your best 22 (just like what has happened to Grundy) so was traded for unders. McAdam is consider in our best 22 which is why he is still a required play and we increased the years to match Melbourne's offer.

Na, bloke asks for a trade, let him go.

Petty hasn't, he can stay. Harmes did, he can go. McAdam did, you should let him go.

Pretty simple.
 
Adelaide trying to force all these contracted players out with big money and lowball offers because no one wants to go there this year.

Won't let players out that want to leave.

Embarrassing really.
Not as embarrassing as this post...
 
We let Harmes go for a future third with our blessing. Same age, one's a premiership player and was still contracted.

We're offering a future second for McAdam. Who's playing hardball?
Harmes isn't part of your best team.

McAdam is.

See the difference?

Contracted - Uncontracted. See the difference?
Wanted v not wanted is more relevant.

You know it.
Everyone knows it.

But keep making yourself look silly if you must.
 
Incorrect, the $1M is only for the first year but will average slightly higher than $800-850K. And there's been murmur he does..... ;)
A murmur? He hasn’t requested a trade. Unlike McAdam who wants out of his club.
 
I reckon you've nailed it, bro.

McAdam doesn't WANT to be there. So let him go, let him goooo.
We will if you offer fair value...

Some of you Dees supporters struggle to understand the concept of a trade is different to free agency.
 
Whats fair value ? What do you think he's worth ?
Personally a future 2nd offered is around the mark... but the issue is we need to replace him with a player with experience.

Perhaps a 3rd club becomes involved & we trade in someone like Hayward.

Probably would be a good idea, but the Crows are waiting for Harrison Petty.
 
A future 2nd is more than generous. Sparrow is better and younger. Petty is too important to us. If Adelaide really wanted Petty they'd have to over pay by probably 2x firsts and a 2nd rounder. He's too important to us. As Riley Beveridge said, if Petty wasn't injured we probably win the flag so trading Petty now could arguably cost us another flag.

The calibre of players we'd trade for Mcadam would be guys like Melksham, Spargo, Tomlinson etc.
