Do what the big Vic clubs do - call it out in the media. Make a statement about it.What are you meant to do if you appeal and you lose it? Appeal again?
Retire it? What’s the obsession? It’s a two digit guernsey number not the ark of the covenant.Keep Rankine in 22
Retire 23 for now
Can’t say it’s brought much recent good luck re: keeping the guy in 23 long-term lolRetire it? What’s the obsession? It’s a two digit guernsey number not the ark of the covenant.
Give it to the next player that wants it regardless of ability or race and see what happens.
He had an offer on the table. In fact we we made several offers.
He chose not to sign.
I can't blame him. He copped an wildly unfair suspension that was more about being a Crows player than the actual act. We accepted it and said nothing.
We made him come back through the SANFL. He got injured and missed more games. It took a long time for him to get back in the AFL team.
I'd hardly say we showed that we valued him highly.
Of the dozens of players suspended this year, how many times did Victorian clubs come out and vocally complain?Do what the big Vic clubs do - call it out in the media. Make a statement about it.
We always walk away quietly with our tail between our legs, waiting for the next time we cop a smacking.
Guess what!
It happened again today with the AFLW side.
How many times did they get shafted? Funny that.Of the dozens of players suspended this year, how many times did Victorian clubs come out and vocally complain?
They’re banking picks around this 2nd round range though, which we have done here. Maybe don’t need them all if Welsh isn’t projected to go as high, but then you can just do some pick swaps next year.People keep saying that but surely we don’t need that many, he won’t be right at the pointy end and GC have 2 top tier and another not far away and they’ve managed it.
I don’t think we’re banking for him rather should be banking to get ahead of him.They’re banking picks around this 2nd round range though, which we have done here. Maybe don’t need them all if Welsh isn’t projected to go as high, but then you can just do some pick swaps next year.
Well there’s only a day left and we weren’t getting a better deal, so I would say we lasted as long as we couldNot too disappointed with F2 for McAdam.
So much for us rejecting it tho...how long did that last?
Sooo we Death Ride melb and on we go.
Could easily end up being pick 29-31, so some handy points I guess..
An uncontracted 29 year old forward that has never played a full season is somehow worth more?They're saying that as way of coping with a shitty result.
He's worth a lot more to us than that pick. QEDAn uncontracted 29 year old forward that has never played a full season is somehow worth more?
He's 28An uncontracted 29 year old forward that has never played a full season is somehow worth more?
Oh wow, definitely first round pick then!He's 28
He is for the first 2 and half months of itNot next football season he's not.
Go to any club board and they'll say 80% of suspensions were pure shafting.How many times did they get shafted? Funny that.
If McAdam had played for Collingwood and was hit like that, they would have made a huge song and dance.
I wouldn't have thought so. Just helping you outOh wow, definitely first round pick then!
so he's basically 32He's 28
Do we do everything well in your eyes? Because it seems you back and defend every decision, it’s sicklyOh wow, definitely first round pick then!
No they’re notAre they even rumours? I feel like it's been court testimony.

Exactly but effectively it’s going to be used as points for Welsh, that’s it, which is pretty shit and a waste of a good playerLet's not mince words. A F2 from a top four club is realistically the least compensation we could have expected to get.
We can understand how it happened without pretending that it's any kind of win. We would have been significantly better off keeping McAdam than losing him for a second round pick in 2024.
Now the task is to make the most of what little we got out of the trade.
