Delisted Callum Ah Chee - Joins Adelaide via the PSD

[Crow till I die]

Welcome home Ah Chee pick 1 PSD

 

[mpal6]

We’ll probably just put a 1.5mil, 1-year contract on his head, and threaten to not show up for any other club for a year

Thanks, Lions

Sigh..... it's a 2 year contract mate.

That does nothing for you.

Wrong. We'd much prefer he heads to WC than Adelaide...plus we now have the opportunity to talk him around.

 

[Eddie Murphy]

Imagine spending 12 months courting a player from another club, then offer peanuts to said club and leave him in limbo. If he does now end up re-signing, or drafted to another club via the PSD then its egg all over Adelaides faces.

You can spin it any way you like fella.

That narrative hinges on the idea of an F2 and F3 being unreasonable for a 28 year old role player, which is just incorrect. Any neutral would agree. Instead, it’s the first round demands that are unjust.

It’s not necessarily “egg on face” territory but it’s a bad look for Brisbane at the trade table.

 

[Elixuh]

lol Crom

So, looks like we're getting Ah Chee for free. Pleasure as always, Brisbane.

Guaranteed that many clubs will be into AhChee’s ear, telling him that they’ll consider picking him up at the PSD.

That will scare him into taking Brisbanes offer, and put more pressure on their salary cap. Win for the league.

 

[Mr MysteryGuest]

We already have enough points this year;

reading comprehension not your strength is it?

it was a future pick, not this years. Which should be a good pick according to your expert analysis.

 

[Maboo]

Lol
There won’t be 14 picks in the preseason draft. There are normally only 2 or 3

depends what players are available

 

[largebus]

Cal just wants to join after the Crows have their pre season camp.

 

[bates121]

Well his manager is pissed at Brisbane. Basically said they let him done and he will get to the Crows anyway.

 

[blueiris]

That does nothing for you.

i didn't say anything about a win for Lions but if anyone but Crom get him it's a win for the competition and a learning experience for Adelaide

Crows ask for player. Lions were clear to AhChee where they valued him, and told the Crows the same story, and weren’t bluffing obviously. Crows don’t pay what the club wants.
How is that Brisbanes “bad look”?

Not in the slightest...best case scenario is he signs on again with us...worst case scenario is he signs with West Coast (and/or Adelaide) via the PSD and in future clubs will know we're not afraid of the PSD threat

 

[Kickit2brown]

Geeze this doesn't look great for adelaide. Went out to recruit a player, had the deal more or less done and then tried the low ball. Can't imagine player managers to keen to work with them over the next few years. Right when they enter a window and mature recruits could be valuable.

 

[FyfeToAdelaide]

Lions pretty much wanted the same deal we gave them for a 23 y/o contracted Charlie Cameron

Ah Chee’s manager laying into the Lions

 

[ABAB]

First time I've heard him speak. The guy comes off a prick, didn't even bother to speak to Ah Chee and "not in your control" when the offer was seen as fair value to everyone except a few nuffie Brisbane supporters.

Hes not staying.

Because anybody can put a value on a player, it becomes a bad look when that value is obviously unreasonable and they refuse to budge.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Williams fronting an Adelaide presser tells you all parties thoughts on this behind the scenes. Look, Brissy posters will laugh and not care, why should you as back to back premiers but this seems pretty stupid and poor.

Your narrative remains reliant on the idea of crows offering “peanuts” for him. If you genuinely believe a first rounder is fair value for a 28 year old role player that has never finished top 10 bnf, there is no point arguing further.

 

[beatnik]

Hes not staying.

You might be right, doesn't change the point I made

 

[Crow till I die]

I mean the shoe is also on the other foot. Clearly Adelaide didn't care that much about acquiring him if they didn't value Pick 16 for a Dual Premiership Player in their prime.

This is clearly a case of a club knowing they're likely a high chance of just getting him in the PSD and decided to say suffer in your jocks to Brisbane. F2 & F3 is pretty cheap chips for him.

By declining a deal, we get one last crack at trying to negotiate a new contract for him, showing we value him more than Adelaide. Funnily enough.

Lol..if after the PSD he is in Adelaide Colours, it will have been a complete free hit for us. If he doesn't and goes elsewhere in the PSD, we move on knowing we have used our full suite of picks at the draft and Brisbane lost a player they think was worth a 1st round pick for nothing. Imagine if he ends up at a bottom ranked side in the PSD because Brisbane refused a good offer....thats ugly stuff

A first rounder was more than fair really.

Brisbane won’t miss not taking a couple of mid rangers
