Delisted Callum Ah Chee - Joins Adelaide via the PSD

You do seem really angry. Maybe you should think about how much time you've spent in this thread getting all wound up and how you could spend it in more worthwhile endeavours.

Definitely, after listening to Dom the prick and Ah Chee's manager speaking. Have you heard them???

 

[briztoon]

Ok, then add on top the academy, F/S picks that happen every draft and it will move past 10 picks

Which still makes your 2027 F2 more valuable than your 2026 F3.

Yeah by 5 or 6 picks whoppee

Twomey said Ah Chee will not speak to any clubs to get to us, I doubt he would want to play for a bottom side otherwise why wouldn't he just go back to WA and play for West Coast on good money? Supposedly, he grew up a Crows supporter so I can see a Rankine situation here. Rankine didn't even bother speaking to Port Power.

we do have history doing it though
jmac hadnt talked or trained with us but we selected him before Richmond.

we have the cash, we have the need and going to the psd is a gamble for the player. At worst we get a tear from him and a free draft pick from Adelaide next year

 

[powerrrrrrrrrrrr]

What if Ah Chee structure his contract at $2.5M for the first 2 years up front to $2M in the first year......

And I’m sure the Crows have 10% of their salary cap just sitting free and will be looking to pay him 2M straight up as well.

We can always restructure the other players contracts backend. Like Twomey said, he will get to us in the PSD if he still wants to and given what his manager said, he is really pissed off with Brisbane.

You could contest my point if you'd like but I do not think it would go down well.

We aren't in the 90's anymore Soggy.

Brisbane are a better run club absolutely.

They’re not a bigger club than Adelaide.

 

[briztoon]

By trading that 2027 F2 then limits the ability to trade the 2027 F1 next year and then having to try and find an F2 for 2027 when we would already be down our 2nd next year etc. So it makes a lot of sense why a F3 was also included

No it doesn’t, that rule has been changed, and Twomey reiterated this yesterday, and the AFL reminded clubs Tuesday.

The thing about the PSD is that it’s not really about what he wants anymore. He declared what he wanted and the clubs involved couldn’t agree, making him anyone’s game.

Other clubs can always restructure if need be to accomodate him as a freebie becomes enticing over a nobody rookie or empty list spot.

Gotta love the narrative from Northern clubs that 2nd round picks are less valuable because it's harder to use for points now. Hopefully finally these concessions kid shenanigans are nearly fixed

The narrative is that Adelaide’s 2nd round next year is less valuable because based on this year it will likely fall as a pick around 40. Pick 40 is trash for a player like Cal. It values him as a spud against someone like Tylar Young (who I’d never heard of).

Dom Ambrogio said he worked with other clubs to see if they would be interested trading for the picks Adelaide was proposing to give us (f2 and f3) but no one wanted them because they’d be junk.

I think you’re missing the point Snuffmaster!

 

[Obeanie1]

He will just do a Rankine and not bother to speak to you guys. Apparently grew up a Crows supporter just like Rankine.

Rankin was traded.

Difference is Ah chee needs to nominate a draft.

He gets to set terms. Not his destination.

Once you stop getting handout from the AFL and stand on your own 2 feet then you can have a seat in the big clubs table with us. Look at how much the AFL give to individual clubs will tell you which are the big clubs.

That would negatively impact the Crows salary cap as well.

You would have to go to players, asking them to push back salary. That would impact your ability to fit future trades in to your salary cap.

 

[ABAB]

Rankin was traded.

Now he needs to nominate a draft.

He gets to set terms. Not his destination.

What are you talking about? Did you read the article from Twomey??? Ah Chee will just decide not to talk to any clubs which was what Rankine did when he wanted to return back to SA, he didn't talk to Port Power so Ah Chee will just not talk to any clubs.

 

[briztoon]

Yeah by 5 or 6 picks whoppee

1) Worth points.
Or
2) Not worth points.

Not hard to understand, unless you’re being pigheaded.

We offered NWM big money so have at least $1.3M next year. Will be easy to find another $700K by back ending $50K from 14 players.

So draft tampering.

Lol..you guys just lost a whole bunch of future points because you missed out on a small handful of future points with our offer that was slightly less good than what you wanted...make that make sense

 

[Happy_Neale]

We feel we needed that pick, I see your argument but those kinds of picks are still important to us.

We obviously see the pre season draft as a risk as we offered a reasonable deal to try to get it done. It's not like we offered a future 4th,

No one knows until the pre season draft is done.

Either way Brisbane probably let a down a good servant of the club who appeared to do everything right and was out of contract

If Crows still get him then all's good and everyone at the Crows should be comfortable with how it's been handled. If Port take him then we bungled it. Have to wait and see.

Yep, obviously the powers that be at Adelaide decided it was worth whatever risk the PSD represents to conserve pick 16. Personally I would say don’t chase a guy with a big contract and then not be prepared to pay fair price, but that is probably where our club biases come into play.

 

[ABAB]

So draft tampering.

It's not and of all people Twomey will know. I suggest you go and read his article which was why he was shock Brisbane didn't take our fair trade.

How much money are you getting from the AFL compared to the big clubs in Collingwood, Carlton, Essendon, West Coast and us????

What’s the chances of Ah Chee playing more than ~50 decent games.
Brisbane really rate established talent over draft picks, those type of figures you can understand why.

Didn’t stop Gold Coast from picking a Fremantle player in last year’s rookie draft.

AFL club stunned as ruckman poached by rivals

The 20-year-old was at training on Friday morning but must now pack his bags and head across the country.
