    Strategy Are we seeing a general change of tack towards proven players over picks ?

    Trading for a player only happens if player agrees - so you are investing not only in proven talent but do it knowing the player wants to be there. Trading for a pick is investing in promises of what they could be based on what they were. And that player has no choice so you risk losing them...

    Sorry what were our alternatives to accepting Greenwood offer?

    Opinion 2019 Trade Period - Pass or Fail

    Pass easily. Didn't get smashed on any deal. The only unders one was Greenwood but we had the least ground to stand on that one. Got rid of a lot of salary - doesn't matter we aren't paying some salary next year given they didn't get in the way of any recruits. Not Reid's fault no-one...

    News Gone: Alex Keath wants to be traded to the Bulldogs

    Would back Hamish in with that haul everytime. Anything top 50 is shooting fish in a barrel for him.

    Dogs won't repeat the 2016 anomaly. Not even a top 6 list. If he thinks the dogs are getting a flag he is delusional. Saints are closer than the dogs.

    There is no mass exodus you plank. Literally got rid of some crusty players and a couple of fringes walked. Keath could see the writing on the wall with Doedee and realisedhe couldn't play the intercepting role.

    The dog campaigner can walk to the Suns. Said it before and will again, he will be booed and deservedly so. Scum.

    News Gone: Hugh Greenwood traded to Gold Coast for 2020 3rd, 4th round picks

    The fact that you cannot see that SOS has murdered your list potential is amazing. How about that shopping list of s**t ins. Carlton on the up is down to Cripps and Teague. Halfway through this year you looked doomed. Your saving grace from yet another s**t trade is your board moving on the...

    Opinion Matthew Nicks: Adelaide's Coach

    I see no realistic future that doesn't include the Crows winning the 2020 flag. It just will happen.

    Have we ever seen an exodus like what is taking place at Adelaide right now?

    The fact that this thread exists and so many people bought into it is exactly the reason why journos keep linking every prick to an exit. Stop giving trash journalism the time of day. Except for Keath and Greenwood, everyone else leaving is a good thing. Neither Keath nor Greenwood are...

    CEY: training camp ripped the heart out of Adelaide Crows

    Sorry but that is pretty stupid comparisons as neither scenario exist. That's using the most extreme examples of this type of thing - not usually comparable to more mild cases. Besides, we are in an industry where moving is remarkably easy (particularly if you tell your bosses to trade you...
