Delisted Callum Ah Chee - Joins Adelaide via the PSD

So Port are doing what Port does.

Looking at throwing a spanner in the works with Ah chee.

Well he wanted Adelaide........

He got the city just not the club.

Wonder how this will pan out.

Not sure they want to pay him $2M at 2 years........

His favourite number 23 just became available there too.

Lions probably should have taken unders and done the trade for Cal.
Although Crows gave Pick 28 for Neale Bullen last year.
I rate Ah Chee higher not a first round although a little better then 28.
Crows been chasing him for a while just ended up not great picks to do a trade.
Cannot expect a first rounder although though be a pick slide/shuffle get it done

Instead was a future 2nd pick in late 30's-40's and a pick in the late 60's now worth no points

Crows did get two great players from us Hinge/Keays for nothing.

You’re working with different facts than everyone else.

Perhaps you could explain instead of just rattling off one-liners.

You sound really nervous. Only another 6 weeks

This thread might break a record by then. Yet . . . the arguments we've seen for and against (from both sides) could fit in less than half a page.

 

[SSwans2011]

I mean surely any sane Crows fans can admit this was the case?

Surely they cannot believe the threat of PSD wasn't raised in negotiations, hence affecting the offer presented for Cal. Right?

The same Crows that walked Hately to the PSD? The same Crows who openly used the PSD threat to get their captain for a single late first round pick?

You really expect us to believe the Crows would make a shit offer and use the PSD threat?

Pffft.

 

[Proper Gander]

How many premierships a player has won is not super relevant to this discussion.

Rhys Stanley won 1 more premiership than Jim Stynes, does that make him a better player?

Giving you a love for the Stynes recognition here.

I like you and hope you have an excellent life.

Okay all - commercial break over and you can get back at it

Seems a pretty consistent opinion amongst all non-Crows supporters that this will make it difficult for the Crows to attract players to their clubs

Just comes across as amateurish and a terrible way to treat players wanting to come to your club

I have no issue with them using the PSD as a threat to knock down the trade compensation. It is a competition, be ruthless if you want. Walk him to the PSD, put a price on his head, all are legitimate tactics.

Just don't get the player manager there at a press conference and have him start naming Cal's children out loud and asking why the Lions would be so mean to them maybe?

3 best 18 recruits just last year (2 from GWS), Dawson and Rankine. These were the recruits after we used the PSD on Hately. The industry know Ah Chee's value and whoever stuffed up the trade is the club being smashed by the media. When you have Edmund, Ralph and Cornes on your side, that's saying how much Brisbane has stuffed up lol.

Agreed. Their fans trying to compare Ah Chee, who the Lions evidently wanted to keep, to Caleb Daniel, who was evidently not in Bevo's future plans and had spent more than half of 2024 in the VFL or as the sub, is equally questionable. Particularly when they didn't even make an offer as good as the one the Bulldogs received for Daniel.

What? Daniel is shit and was way overs but given what they did with their 1st rounder this year, it isn't hard to believe they gave pick 25 for him lol. Just because they were insane during that trade period doesn't make us insane.

Given they are morons, why aren't they just smashing us like they usually do......

Tell the other Crows fans. They're the ones that keep referencing the Daniel trade as if it means anything.

I don't know. They're morons. I don't know how, or even if, they think before talking.

You guys have come up with an interesting alternate reality

Weren't even willing to part with 2 future seconds which would likely be picks in the late 30s. How is that not a good trade for Adelaide?

 

[ABAB]

The only reference is he also a premiership player, that's all. ANB is more comparable to Ah Chee as both are good role players and requested a trade at the same age, premiership player and both highly rated at their club but ANB was contracted so received pick 28. There is your comparison, pick 30-35 is fair value for an uncontracted Ah Chee. It's that simple even the 3 morons know his fair value.

Like I said, list managers are reluctant to trade away consecutive F2 unless you are GCS or Brisbane, you just throw away 2nd rounders like confetti.

 

[SpecialBruce]

The Crows fans are insufferable. Collingwood supporters are better and show more nous than Adelaide.

This Adelaide forum Lore is fascinating

What magical function do these late 30s pick contain for the mighty Adelaide Crows

 

[leighmo]

Perhaps you could explain instead of just rattling off one-liners.

Whereas you can just say the Adelaide offer was less than what was given for Budarick (it wasn’t) and everyone should just believe it. Why should I be held to a higher standard of BF posts than you?

Also, the argument that Adelaide should offer more for Ah Chee because they are paying him more is BS. By that logic, Brisbane should be happy accepting less in the trade because they have been paying him less, right?

 

[Crouch]

We're not the ones who sent Ah Chee to the PSD, the Lions did lmao. Still waiting for anyone to produce a similar trade where a club gave up their first for an uncontracted 28 yr old role player. 144 pages and nada.
