Essendon and WCE aren’t there either, and they both have deals to do

 

[hey shorty]

West Coast given up on Kelly I reckon.

Still, doesnt mean much given how long the day is.

You can already write the article for our trade wrap:

"Adelaide, with picks 8, 13, 16, 21 and 72 will take a strong hand to the draft. List Manager Justin Reid said that this year's draft pool is as strong as any in recent years."

If everyone is cahoots with each other with the players they will be drafting, but Amon + 5 for pick 4.......

Cats have turned up though.

Edit:As I posted that the Eagles have now turned up.

Nothing incorrect there.

Probably leaves Rankine for us if they do, no interstate side will touch him.

You'd hope .....but don't trust the Bulldogs

Dalrymple’s gone to Sydney so their draft strategy might change?

Neither club is doing that. They aren't that stupid.

 

[NTRabbit]

Essendon still have Shiel to try and complete

Yeah but at least this year it is true...!!

 

[Stiffy_18]

While it might not mean nothing, I think it is a confirmation that we are holding on to our picks for the time being at least. I don't think we will do any other deals today. Might explore our options in the picks swapping period and on draft night but not today I don't think.

 

[Danger in Texas]

Neale and 30 for 6, 19 and 55

There will be deals done that wont get announced until tonight you would think. The AFL would have made sure of it

This place will go nuts if we walk in this afternoon

My prediction: Reid and co will roll in at around 3pm and nut out a deal with the Saints for Pick 4. Guarantees us Rankine or Rozee.

Port to get reamed as Lukosius, Rankine and Rozee end up going 2,3,4 maybe? Would lol

You see, this is the phrase I really hate!

"Oh we punch above our weight. Yay us!"

This phrase is nothing more than an excuse for failure, it's "We tried really hard and, really, we achieved more than we could have reasonably expected, so finishing where we did is reasonable."

We should not be punching above our weight, WE SHOULD BE MAKING THE OTHER TEAMS PUNCH ABOVE THEIR WEIGHT!!! We should be setting the bar, not trying to achieve levels set by other teams. I know this sounds emotional, but it seems to be a South Australian character trait that we have to try to punch at Victorian or New South Wales standards, kind of a "look at me!" annoying little brother type of thing.

FFS just for a change I'd love to see US set the standard and be the ones the eastern states aspire to. Unfortunately I fear this won't happen in my life time.

It already did, assuming you were born pre-1997.

[FAITH]

The AFL trying to get the main media narrative year long on the AFL not cricket or soccer.

It actually makes me dislike afl.

 

[Cap]

Nothing incorrect there.

I'm starting to think some of our supporters are as dumb as Carlton fans.

 

[CrowMan90]

They get pick 6 back.

 

[Smoooothy]

Justin reid would be working from the docklands crows office at the moment. if he's not there, he'd be 5 mins away if needed
