News Shane McAdam traded to Melbourne for F2

[UcantCme]

Melbourne board stating he clashed with Burgess.

Burgo had McAdam rated as a top 10 talent at the club but wanted him to work harder

Surely no one is surprised we signed Murphy but will lose McAdam?

 

[fuic08]

He's a bad loss and I rate him, but I don't think offering 2 years instead of 3 is wrong.

 

[Carmo]

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

Requiring people to pass fitness benchmarks before they can come back into the 1's is bad selection policy??

 

[50BC]

And on the club website too now, so it's official

Well when the player is still capable of more compared with some others getting a game when not fit?

Yes.

 

[UcantCme]

Keep murphy and sloane..
And lose mcadam.

Putrid list management.

The club needs another broom through it.

This is bit of a ridiculous post

Keeping Sloane and Murphy had no bearing on losing McAdam

McAdam was waving regardless

So he was offered 3 after all then.

Melbourne has a strong draft hand, so opportunity for the club to capitalise

How do you know that?

 

[skittlebrew]

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

Not so weird when you factor in the money they offered and their opportunity for success.

“Hey Shane.. you want more money?… yeah, no worries mate, sloane is retiring this year and we’re gonna move that absolute hack in Murphy on aswell… we’ll be able to throw some of the money we save from those departures at your new contract”…

Money talks.

 

[UcantCme]

Interesting that a former club that Burgess helped with a flag in the back of their ability to run over sides would take McAdam who would not buy-in to Burgess training requirements

If you don’t want to do the work Shane

Cya

Hasnt been confirmed its the dees yet…

Rucci has no contacts at the crows.. none.. he’s been blacklisted by the club for years now because they know he’s a power supporting flog who hates everything about the crows.

But if he ends up at the dees or the pies… he’ll strengthen their forward lines very nicely next season..

Is there a possibility we could Hawthorn or Melbourne to bite package McAdam and our first to move up?

Didn't we missed out on 2 big fish so would have been able to offer McAdams $200K more ($700K instead of likely $500K) if that's what you are implying.......???

has a half brother playing with the pies I think

We played McHenry ahead of this guy...

McHenry position last year was replaced by Rankine's inclusion, hence he was mainly used as the sub this year.

We thought we could do the same thing with Keath and Greenwood

Don’t get your hopes up

 

[Bearded Clam]

Wot?

The poster I responded to claimed that murphy and sloane re-signings would have no effect on mcadam leaving..

Bs.

If we offered mcadam a decent deal he’d stay. Its always all about the money..

This crap that Rucci is spinning about discontentment would be no more than Rucci extracting as much joy as he can at the crows expense.. hes a flog that speaks about the crows with the same forked tongue as Karen Kornes does.

We’d be lowballing Shane… and we’re also very tight on list spots so probably need to jettison someone even though we may not want to..

The sloane and murphy re-signings would definitely be a factor in all of this.
