Delisted Callum Ah Chee - Joins Adelaide via the PSD

He said in his post, that Adelaide should have offered pick 16 and it would have been OK.

A good deal or fair doesn’t really matter when a player is out of contract. Brisbane has no problem offering unders for out of contract players as they know clubs essentially don’t have a choice. Many Brisbane fans will delight that I should mention the Dunkley trade as the basis of my disgust of Brisbane in this episode. regardless of the team I support, his trade is a quintessential example of Brisbane’s hypocrisy.

Just a spiteful and arrogant club - sabotaged themselves and brought down a two-time premiership hero with them.
We traded you the equivalent of pick 5 for Dunkley if you look at the points value. You’re just being bitter because you lost one of your best players.

Maybe think about why he left rather than trying to make us out to be the bad guys when we paid a fair price. We don’t have a history of lowballing players…if you can think of a few examples it might help your cause rather than just saying it over and over again.
 
No doubt Cal's made a great start at his new club this week. Will be feeling really valued...

Luckily for Adelaide fans they can project their clubs failure onto the Lions for not accepting pick 40 for a 28 year old 2x premiership forward.

I'd love to see some rationale from Adelaide fans about Bernie Vince being traded for pick 23 when he was 28 and out of contract and playing very average football. Yet Cal is isnt worth the same trade?

Trade value is not always objective. It is often to do with what is the “fairest” offer a club can put together with what it has available. At the time you’re referring to trading future picks was not an option.

We also were forced to accept essentially pick 10 and steak knives for a prime Patrick Dangerfield. In no world was that fair value.

But, it was the best offer Geelong could realistically put together, so we had to take it.

The trade you’re referring to involved a FA compo pick that Melbourne received for Sylvia. In that same year, the Dees had access to picks 2 and 20, they’re next pick was pick 40.

So the Crows would have been asking for one of the Dees picks in the 20s, and the alternative would have been to accept a pick in the 40s.

That’s a very different scenario to this one.
 
Sorry son, wrong on all counts there, Academies are funded by the club, father/sons come with no games experience lol, and the AFL doesn't hold our dick it just gives it little tickle every now and again, you know how good that feels yeah
lol, you brisbane supporters really don't know anything.

the northern academies are funded by BOTH the club, and the AFL. its a joint venture.

you get access to the Fitzroy father sons, under the 100 game criteria. but sure
Where did you pull that falsehood from? Are you referring to Browny getting picked up for his father playing over 50 games. That was over 25 years ago and was stopped shortly after. You are a paranoid lot.

Nobody cared about the Lions when we were getting pillaged. We are where we are cos we get our house in order after being a shit club. Sorry about that.
 
no, thats not how it works or your club would of got pick 40 for baker and not 14

Richmond also got 3 first rounders for Shai Bolton with 1 back
Richmond also got 6 and 23 for rioli
Bolton and Rioli were both contracted. Bolton was a fair trade and GCS throws picks like confetti (they don't value picks just like you guys because of their massive leg up), West Coast gave overs for an uncontracted Baker but they did some strange trade that year even their CEO had to do a press conference to "explain" it.
 
We've gotten extremely lucky with father sons... as for academy picks... we've had one 1st rd pick taken through our academy to date... one Eric Hipwood (who most outside of Brisbane think is a spud).

How goods that academy 1st rd pick pipe line...
yeah no, you havent had just one, sam marshall, Blake Coleman? these are all recent too... and all in the first round

this was in direct response to the guy who said they only got father sons after 1991, which isnt true

You missed the point I was making, the poster said that they were happy to let there premiership heroes go….. because they compensated well in all the trades
 
This is hilariously ironic given your comments in the Starcevich thread. Took about a week for you and Senor M to have egg on your face regarding the psd.

I didn't see Adelaide threatening to walk Ah Chee to the PSD; they made multiple offers to him over the week before deadline day ;)

Also--- is it even a guarantee that Ah Chee makes it to the Crows?

One was a fair trade and the others they got lucky. Like the poster said, they would have had to accept any picks for Rioli and Baker especially for Baker as he was uncontracted.
 
What has riled me up over this is the clueless fans blindly cheering this stance. Brisbane has done a lot of things right over the past few years (clearly) but this one is just bad. It’s bad. Honestly can’t believe some are still defending it.

Port Power can select him if they can convince him after talking to him. Likely will need to offer slightly over our offer though.

IF Damo was our list manager THEN we would be as relevant as his club norf

They must be living in a bubble up there as their media don't talk about the AFL, it's all about the Premier Bronco with them treated as less importance than the SANFL Premier here. The media has been smashing them for not doing the trade and these nuffies Brisbane posters are either deluded or coping. Like I said, had we offer a F3 then the media will be smashing us for not offering a fair trade.

Lol at anyone who agrees or listens to that tool.

If people agree with Damo THEN they need to check themselves into a psych ward.

Not just him. Twomey was "shock" you guys did do the trade and then there's Edmund, Ralph and Cornes who are usually massive flogs toward us so that's saying something.

Think you will find most of us would have preferred if a deal was reached but can understand why it’s gone the way it has.

Ironic that you would post this though given you’re still crying about the Dunkley trade from 3 years ago which was actually somewhat fair all things considered. Imagine your reaction if you were forced to either take unders for him like we were asked to do or lose him for nothing. You’d probably say send him to the PSD I reckon
