Thank-you for the lols. Good-luck with re-signing Bailey.

Thank you for the support. Much needed & appreciated.

We've struggled of late retaining required high end talent.....

no wait.......

 

[Crouch]

Reminds me of Adelaide's attempts to pretend they'd decide to pass on Oliver, when instead he just didn't want to go there when anywhere else became an option.

Lmao. So your move is to bring up completely unrelated (and true) to the discussion? Yeah nice one you totally got me.

Which one of these two is Oliver?

 

[Crouch]

Thanks for the kind words champ. Good luck winning a final next year.

But I thought our offer was pick 40? So you must think we're going to be at the pointy end, no?

Thank you for the support. Much needed & appreciated.

Huh? So you don't value first-rounders as high end talent? Then why were you asking for one? Oh and I thought Ah Chee was a finals superstar? Wasn't he like, super influential and unlucky to miss out on the norm smith or something?

Maybe you should start supporting GWS if you're so obsessed with him.

 

[scoman]

I remember when celebrating a trade win was all we had.

Enjoy the win Crows fans. Party time!!

No, free as delist himself and West Coast draft him in the PSD.

What?

 

[Happy_Neale]

No that was doedee when you outbid us for an rfa and we got pick 19

What?

 

[Happy_Neale]

Don't get too cocky, it could blow up in your face.
Even if we don't get him, at least we will drive up the price you have to pay to keep him, making it harder for you to keep other good players coming out.

You can take another fringe player for minimal cost next year if it gives you your jollies, we’ll stick to winning finals with guys who want to play for us

 

[Mutineer]

Dom didn't think he was fringe player that's for sure and certain.

Brisbane wanted a 1st round pick- can understand why given the quality (lack of) of this draft but he's not worth a 1st round pick. The Crows wanted to take a player in the first round this year and rightfully so with so much SA talent so didn't want to part with a 1st which was wise.

Can see both sides of the perspective on this one. It's just one of those weird ones that was impossible to reach a satisfactory trade for both teams.

Crows benefit with a solid acquisition for no draft capital. Brisbane free some cap and it allows them to fit in a other highly talented kid into their best 22. The banter between Brissy and Crom supporters has been entertaining though.

I get why you talk about salt a lot, most of your filthy water that comes out of Victorian and NSW sewerage plants via the Murray is so salt heavy you can float a rock on it. Shame that desal plant keeps getting put back, such a winning state.

Actually though, you've given me a lot of new ammunition there about boring, old serial killers, must make a note of that; oh wait lost interest.

So, the premier team of a minnow state, who is now the most successful of the millennia, and is debt free with a burgeoning membership base got there on handouts? Not a well administrated, resourced and coached club with viral father sons?

Collingwood had three F/S plus an NGA at their last premiership; I guess they were handouts too?

It's the toxic water in SA that causes all your F/S to be stunted, it's not our fault, don't whine fix the water ffs.

Well I have read some rubbish

 

[cleanhands]

Cal who?

And here’s more

Days since Ah Chee has become the highest paid Adelaide player for 2026 season with $1.4M !!

I dare you to do this for the entire 365 days lol.

Based on our contract offer he wasn’t someone we would move heaven and earth to keep. The salary cap doing its thing really

We didn’t want a first round pick, it was a pick slide from 16 to 23 plus a future second. Values him somewhere around pick 25 which would have been fair IMO

So Dom speaks with weasel words, I don't think he's that kind of guy, he just got bested this time by Justin Reid.

You win some, you lose some.

Wow, what a rant! You have serious issues & should seek professional help.

It's becoming obvious why the likes of Pauline Hanson is so popular in Queensland...

That would have meant we would have missed out on Mitch Marsh... so was never an option.

Thank you, I'll do whenever I remember - you guys did it for nearly 30 days so someone has to carry the torch for this thread. Let's keep going !

 

[BangyBangy]

Which is totally understandable.

Just highlights that we thought a pick around the mid 20's was fair value for Cal.

Adelaide wasn't interested in paying what we thought was a fair price & knew they could just take him in the PSD. And that's how it played out.

This is kind of the sport version of the billionaire whose Range Rover breaks down on the highway so he just gets a limo to pick him up all the while leaving the Range Rover on the side of the road forever and never picking it up again because he has 3 at home already that do work

Bailey's open market value is way more than either of us can afford, there are some massive war chests out there. If he goes for money neither of us get a look in.

The Crows have stacks of room. Putting up $1.5m for Bailey won't be an issue at all.
