Welcome Welcome to Adelaide: Alex Neal-Bullen - Traded for Pick 28

[1970crow]

We paid overs, if we anchored we’d have gotten their F3 coming back. If they didn’t agree, then he stays with them or goes to Port or retires. And we move on to develop our contending list, which he won’t be a part of. Weak and lazy at the trade table, very unlike Reid, he’s usually been pretty good. But as predicted, there’s a bit of desperation from our LM group who all desperately need an immediate uplift, even if it hampers our future prospects.

Didn’t end up being a 2 year extension on existing deal too?

[Danger in Texas]

So I guess “my name is insert name here, and I’m an Adelaide Crow” is the thing this year

It’s better than Port’s LCOEMWE

 

[1970crow]

It is overs but part of wooing him would be guaranteeing we could get the deal done which Port couldn't.

As it stands now we weren't going to use that pick anyway.

Illl never understand that attitude. Whatever we could have gotten back can be used to sweeten the Peatling deal or be traded to 2025 where we will need picks after delisting Tex, Smith, Strachan, Burgess and have guys like Murphy & Schoey hanging by a thread.

 

[aabp1978]

Am I right in thinking we effectively traded McAdam for ANB? Guy looks like a born leader, and was third in the BnF at a far better club than ours.

 

[The Smith Revolution]

Welcome Alex. Everyone underestimates that when you are systematically shit it’s very hard do deal for players with any power. The pick is the pick, if we won games we should have it’d be in the 30s.

Don’t forget Sydney and bulldogs always want to screw us so a bid for Welsh could’ve still come.

 

[Crow till I die]

Visually, he sort of looks a bit like Murphy........

I'll see myself out

defensive forward dream team?

You all know who I'm talking about

 

[MatthewB]

Happy this deal is done, always been a fan of him

 

[Jeffcrowe]

He needs to be the main voice outside a reduced leadership group of maybe Dawson, Fog and one other.

We need whats left of the old guard in the playing group to start playing the team game and maybe having another Senior voice to back up the current day leaders will help.

Dawson Keays ANB Fog

Maybe hinge if looking for one more

 

[Shifty Crow]

Grew up a crows supporter and will add much needed leadership and consistency.

Four Melbourne top 10 BnF finishes in a row and will be an awesome player for the likes of Rash to train and play next to

This is a good trade

If only the poll allowed you to change your vote

 

[Jeffcrowe]

Definitely overs in isolation

But that makes me feel better even though people were disappointed we ‘only’ got that pick for McAdam last year

I can live with it if we get Peatling With future pick but I really want us to trade someone out to get back into the top 50, Berry would have been the one . Jones , Laird etc other options now

 

[crow2crow]

which team would take murphy for nothing, no picks just take him?

 

[ftmch]

Haha! I thought the same thing when reading his rapid fire q&a. He was doing so well up to that point !

 

[Crow till I die]

Is ANB planning on playing some SANFL then? Ho else will he be playing with Murph

 

[Danger in Texas]

If only the poll allowed you to change your vote

Let’s hope Nicks has some common sense

Bold assumption, I know

 

[AC07]

Very happy with this trade. 28 is about right. Another hard working, quality player. Great words for him in this interview.

 

[Scorpus]

Dawson Keays ANB Fog

Maybe hinge if looking for one more

Pretty easy leadership group criteria this year.

1. Younger than 30 for the entire season
2. Played at least 100 games
3. Played at least one final

 

[Scorpus]

In the AFL side, when Nicks picks both of them because he wants all our experienced leaders in the side

Good pick up but the trade could have been better

 

[Jeffcrowe]

1. Younger than 30
2. Played at least 100 games
3. Played at least one final

Wouldn’t be putting any of those rules in but picking the obvious leaders who positively influence and also get it done on field when it counts

 

[Scorpus]

My criteria picks the perfect leadership group

Dawson (captain)
Neal-Bullen (vice captain)
