What relevance does any of this word salad have to the discussion I was having with the other posterWe were not trying to lure Brisbane to join the crows, whats offered in a contract to the player is completely different than the trade negotiation with a club whose player is OOC. Its not our fault that your club has had such a leg up of late with sheer luck on the father son front and the AFL northern academy system that has gifted you almost your entire premiership midfield that you can afford to NOT value 2nd round picks
Adelaide optics strike again. Why can’t you just accept you were being hard asses at the trade table? I mean it worked in the end didn’t it? There’s no reason to lie about what happenedWe offered a pick in the 20's which you declined as you got greedy wanting our 1st rounder or a 1st round slide & our supposedly useless future 2nd.
Yes, we refused to use our 1st rounder, but stop peddling BS that we only offered a pick in the 40s. The media reported the different offers, so why do you keep repeating the same lie? Trying to justify Dom's **** up of losing him for nothing?
LOL...you don't need to be Einstein to know exactly what I was saying to youWhat relevance does any of this word salad have to the discussion I was having with the other poster
I realise ai can be wrong, but are you able to provide any evidence that a pick in the 20’s was actually on the table? Have heard this thrown out a few times as if it is fact.We offered a pick in the 20's which you declined as you got greedy wanting our 1st rounder or a 1st round slide & our supposedly useless future 2nd.

All I know is you sounded rather upsetLOL...you don't need to be Einstein to know exactly what I was saying to you
It’s an extension of the lie Reid mentioned in one interview that no other article has mentioned since. There was also a Facebook video floating around with Riley Beveridge saying it during trade radio but not a single source that actually ran with it after that. Looks like Adelaide pushing that lie to make them seem more reasonable when it’s clear they offered no more than a future 2nd and 3rd pickI realise ai can be wrong, but are you able to provide any evidence that a pick in the 20’s was actually on the table?

Don't moan about being offered industry agreed fair value of a 2nd round pick for a OOC 28 year old player that Brisbane didn't value enough to offer a good enough contract to thenAll I know is you sounded rather upset

And I’m sure we weren’t having to give anything back either. I heard Reid was begging us to take it and we just said no to spite himYou offered us a pick you didn’t hold?
You offered us a pick in the 40s. You wouldn’t even do a 2026 2nd (pick 40) and 2027 (compromised draft) second (likely a pick in the 50s).
But youre then willing to believe you totally offered us a straight pick in the 20s that you didn’t even hold.

Where is pick 40 coming from?. More likely pick 30-35You offered us a pick you didn’t hold?

Source - trust me bro"We had a trade lined up with Port for pick 29, but you wouldn't accept it!!!!"
No information at all on what the other elements of the deal would have been. Port got Carlton's future second round pick out of the deal that happened, which is likely worth a lot more than the Adelaide future second. Port also folded in the Corey Durdin trade with it.
What else were the Crom going to give up to make that three-way trade more appealing to Port? Their useless future third round pick?

So we haven’t established Reid is a master trader, probably one of the best in the business, if he is able to get quality players for freeSource - trust me bro

What else do you have to add
Maybe he's good maybe he isn't. To be honest I hadn't heard of him before this trade period. Adelaides biggest issue seems to be actually attracting good talented players rather than their trading but that is a different discussion.So we haven’t established Reid is a master trader, probably one of the best in the business, if he is able to get quality players for free
What else do you have to add
Why would they run with it any further, Reid organised it with Port who were agreeable at the time.....Ambrogio refused it so all over Red Rover.It’s an extension of the lie Reid mentioned in one interview that no other article has mentioned since.

Port later used the pick on Durdin when he became available.

not many players can mentally handle having intellectual titans like rowey, rucci and ricciutio spend inordinate amounts of time blowing smoke up their ass. real tough.Oliver wouldn't have been able to mentally handle the SA media TBH, there's reason why both clubs can only attract quality players who are from SA and massive Crows or Port Power fans growing up with exception like Ryder who wanted to escape Victoria after the Essendon drug saga or Carey who wanted to escape the Victoria media after his affair. This isn't Brisbane were the media doesn't give a shit about the Lions, what was the media like compared to the Broncos winning the NRL premiership........
Lions supporters seem to struggle with the concept that more than 2 clubs can be involved in a trade.Why would they run with it any further, Reid organised it with Port who were agreeable at the time.....Ambrogio refused it so all over Red Rover.

Anyone with a brain doesn't listen to any of these 3 nor the Cornes.not many players can mentally handle having intellectual titans like rowey, rucci and ricciutio spend inordinate amounts of time blowing smoke up their ass. real tough.
