Delisted Callum Ah Chee - Joins Adelaide via the PSD

Trust me bro, if you had Ah Chee in your side, you win the qualifying final against Collingwood and go straight into a prelim. Pick 16 is a small price to pay for a player who makes you better. Actually, let me put it another way. By letting you have him, we’re making you better.
If nothing else you’d make a good used car salesman. ;)
 
If anything but a first won’t get it done, then it simply doesn’t get done.

Ah Chee isn’t the difference between the Crows winning a flag or not.
Don’t get a player to publicly commit and say how valuable you think they will be (as Justin Reid has) if you can’t get a deal done.

Real hold my beer moment with St Kilda flipping on Leek Aleer kinda areas.

Player mangers and players will watch on with interest, doubting whether they could trust the crows in getting a deal done.
 
Justin Reid has said it won’t involve a first round pick too many times for it not to involve a first round pick. Murphy’s Law. You don’t identify a player, woo them, offer them 5 years and then not get it done. West Coast licking their lips in the distance if it doesn’t get done or he re-signs.
If he ends up at West Coast, it'll be your club that looks bad for refusing to trade a player for fair value (F2, which is overs). Especially after what he has done for you. We'll move on.
 
Who is/was the better player?

Liam Baker when at Richmond or Cal Ah Chee at Brisbane?

Lions had multiple offers on the table, including a 4 year contract. Don’t know the $$$.

Ah Chee is worth at least the same as Baker at the trade table.

Liam Baker who just won our B&F having been 4th, 6th and 5th at Richmond the previous 3 years? Liam Baker who was 6th in 2020 when they won the flag at 22? Not a relevant comparison but the answer is Baker.

Ryan kicked a goal a game this year and pinch hit at centre bounces (for the first time in his career) playing for a team that won one game and was without its two experienced key forwards for most of the season. How to you reckon Ah Chee would've gone playing for WC this year? You reckon Ryan couldn't slot in to the Lions forward line? Just silly stuff.

I like Ah Chee but he's living off kicking 4 goals in a GF that was over at half time. There is a 0.1% chance this all falls over and he ends up at WC. If that happens will you be putting 1,000 on him to win the B&F? No, didn't think so.

Incorrect. Onus is always on the nominated club to satisfy. If he ends up at West Coast it will be from Adelaide’s inability to put their money where their mouth is.

This isn’t us walking away though in this scenario, just the Lions not accepting what most would agree is a reasonable offer.

Why not just offer more money to Cal than we are, if he’s worth such a high price?

How did you go in your qualifying final with Ah Chee in your side again?

Incorrect. Everyone except Brisbane supporters realize he isn't worth a first. Your club will be crucified for not trading in good faith.
 
Has Adelaide always been this difficult to deal with during the trade period? I remember dealing with Port and they were consummate professionals and got deals done. Wonder why the crows are so different!
Where I was working we had a contract with The Crom there are some first class campaigners there.

Trust me, bro, get Ah Chee if you don’t want to be a one-season wonder. Otherwise, enjoy sliding back to the bottom four where you can comfortably threaten PSD picks again.

You’re in the big league now, start acting like it. Right now, you’re in that imposter phase: ‘Did we really finish on top? Wait… what do we do now?’

Ah Chee is the difference between staying relevant and becoming a trivia question.

Thank you for reminding me. I seem to remember Norm Smith votes in a grand final, massive contributor in another. Enjoy your slide back to the bottom four.

Coming from a Port fan, that’s very rich.

I appreciate the trolling.

IMO Ah Chee is slightly younger, moderately better player than Liam Ryan and a lot more durable. I’d put his value at pick 20-23.
 
Look, I’m not with my brethren thinking it’ll get done for F2 and junk or junk swaps, but surely you don’t genuinely reckon you’re effectively going to get 16 pretty much straight up.

Nah we won't. We need it for the points though. It'll be similar to Starcevich deal. Points wise we got pick 15 post-discount after cancelling out all picks that got exchanged. To do that we need pick 16 in play.

And a free agent joining the spooner. The only reason he went for ~pick 20 is WC being inept and Oscar Allen considerations.

Ah Chee has a comparable trade value to Liam Ryan. Brisbane fans won't accept that but it's reality.
Errrr what. So you think Ah Chee is worth a swap of second and third rounders and nothing else?

I dunno. If you're so into a player that you get them to publicly commit to you and then refuse to pony up, it looks pretty poor.

St. Kilda are being ripped to shreds in the media for leaving Aleer high and dry.

Ah Chee is MILES better than what's left of Liam Ryan lol.

I love the bloke, but he is finished.
