News Shane McAdam traded to Melbourne for F2

Not good.

He’s far quicker than Gollant and provides more defensive pressure.

We want to be making finals from 2024, shouldn’t be losing guys like McAdam.

yep - I am with you on this

However, now it is what it is, we need to maximise what we can get back..If its a 2nd, can we go to GC with picks 20, McAdam pick, split our GC pick for a later '23 2nd and a '24 2nd ad give them the 2023 pick and our F2 for their pick 4

So they would be getting 3 x 2023 2nds and a 2024 2nd for it - heaps of points and surplus this year and a bonus future pick next year

Remember though, Nicks changed the culture.

We had the most potent forward line in the league without McAdam. The only real difference he makes towards making finals or not is potentially it helps a rival and that is not worth paying for.

Use the salary cap he would have cost elsewhere - say an extension for Luke Pedlar.

Agree, need to have an overall increase in quality of our list and this doesn’t help

Shane will be a real moneyball get for whichever team trades for him

Melbourne the city or Melbourne FC

 

[weekend at bernies]

eh!! would of been good to keep, but don't consider it a major loss.

 

[MRB37]

Remember though, Nicks changed the culture.

I don't think you can take one player leaving and then claim Nicks hasn't done anything to change the team culture wise. Every team has and will lose players.

Melbourne the city or Melbourne FC

He said Melbourne the club first, but apparently that's been updated to be Melbourne the city. But it's Rooch, so who the hell knows.

 

[Eagleboy2011]

He was probably disgruntled when we didn't play him after his suspension and prioritised spuds like Murphy instead.

Also it's Classic Crows to keep Murphy but have McAdam leave

Someone needs to mention the "Sloane" word.

 

[Pugsley]

Melbourne board stating he clashed with Burgess.

.
He was lazy perhaps?

 

[cmndstab]

Disappointing to lose him as he offered a significant point of difference, but he wasn't a must-keep. Gollant now becomes a big part of 2024.

Hopefully we can get something decent for him. Maybe package him with one of our two second round picks to move into the first round.

 

[ABAB]

Remember though, Nicks changed the culture.

Yes he did.

 

[BRL121]

eh!! would of been good to keep, but don't consider it a major loss.

He will need to be replaced by someone who scores goals.

 

[Mr_Moogle]

Weird club to choose if he doesn't like Burgess. Chances are Melbourne are still influenced by his time there.

 

[cmndstab]

Also, as much I liked him, I won't miss his tendency to act like like he's hurt himself every time he messes something up

 

[Peter Doherty]

I hated when he did that.

 

[George Kramer]

We are going to miss him and he offered a point of difference.

He was rubbed out unfairly, we played Murphy ahead of him. He returns and performs. Now we lose him.

 

[ftmch]

Man, this sucks. He made a massive difference to the dynamic of our forward line when he came back in towards the end of the season.

At least we've still got Lachie Murphy...

 

[baldandbroke]

Shane had some horrible luck this year.

Was rubbed out for a front on bump to the chest because of the potential to cause injury … then injured … couldn’t get back into the side until late.

Work rate looked really good this year when we saw him, threw himself into everything. Ran hard, chased, worked both ways.

On the other side, I think Gollant has more to offer in push for a premiership than what we will get from McAdam.

Next year, maybe not … but overall I’m ok to see that space open up for Gollant.

Players move for lots of reasons, i wish him well and hope he takes some hangers for whomever he ends up with.

 

[Bearded Clam]

Keep murphy and sloane..
And lose mcadam.

Putrid list management.

The club needs another broom through it.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

It's alright we got Lachie Murphy

 

[1990crow]

This is what happens when the club implements a stupid selection policy over a season.

 

[50BC]

Damn, I'm a fan of what he can do, that's a definite loss imo.

 

[Owen_AFC97]

I also lay blame on the AFL for his ridiculous suspension in round 1 which ended up costing him multiple games in the side. **** the AFL.
