2017 trade/draft thread

[Nev57]

No he said watts was a mid second he said that one of the saints 1sts would be a good starting point for gaff

disagree i know what i heard

If you want any player that plays on average 10 minutes of a 100 minute game on a consistant basis in your team then thats great.
The last two premiers have clearly shown unless you have 22 x 4 quarter players who will die for you then you are wasting your time.
Jetta will not change, he is immensely talented but the most lazy player I have seen. He will get you all excited every 6th week for a brief 10 minute burst but for the club going forward he offers nothing.

Lewis Jetta is actually a premiership player so it's proven you can win one with him in your team.

 

[Nev57]

just how good do you think Gaff is?

better than mid second round thats for sure , these vic clubs /media guys got no idea about players over here in the west eg. mayne lynch

Lever officially asks Adelaide for a trade.

How many players have they had leave over the years? Since Stenglien, I can think of Phil Davis, Dangerfield and Tippett.

Pretty handy spine actually:

Davis
Lever
Dangerfield
Tippett
??

Seriously, wtf is wrong with that club?

Cameron will likely go, can't see Mcgovern staying past his short contract.

I mean, i wouldn't want to live in Adelaide, but Port doesn't seem to have these problems. Isn't Adelaide meant to be this big powerful club? Maybe it's their fans, they're like more obnoxious West Coast fans, but with a massive chip on their shoulder's.

West Coast and Freo are good at player retention, the only player we've lost of any real value is Judd and that was a decade ago.

Are the people on the bench playing a second game to the other guys?

Also rumours of Sloane heading home. Yes it is odd they do not retain alot of their players.\

I wasn't following footy much when Ebert got traded, but the deal was pretty rough. A 21 year-old first round pick, ex U-18s captain, who has played 76 games (33 goals) over 4 years is still a first round pick. There is no way we then include a third round downgrade on top of a mid second round - that's taking the piss. We got screwed so I can understand the fury about that decision.

Ah Chee for Pick 67, get it done.

Frark if we had lost that amount of quality players we would be wooden spooners, Adelaide have drafted extremely well considering.

"We'll look at the options and make the best decision for the Adelaide footy club" How has Barrett managed to stretch out an interview for 30 mins asking the same question 10 times.

Is there anything to this Gaff talk or are these clowns just making shit up again?

Someone who installs door knobs? That's a fixing carpenter.

The Crows are the West Ham of the AFL

Vic clubs are interested, doesn't mean we are interested in trading him away.

 

[Xsess]

Terry Wallace on trade radio saying Gaff now only worth mid second round

Wallace should learn to shut his boner socket. The only possible reason we trade Gaff now is so that we don't get shafted next year when he's a free agent. By shafted, that would be via a mid second round pick. Terry Wallace is one of those anomalies that football throws up from time to time. Appalling record of abject failure somehow held up as an expert.

We also lost him after a Premiership and great service and receive JJK in return. In hindsight we broke even or won that one.

Does anyone else think we need to improve our over all sexiness? Aesthetically and on field performance.

I hope out recruitment team are assessing potential draftees parents for aesthetics.

 

[Xsess]

You do have to feel for the Crows losing all their players. On the flip side Adelaide is the biggest shithole in Australia. If you were a young rooster with a load of coin and a bag of wild oats to sow its gotta be Melbourne yeah?

To play champagne footy and avoid all contact that would leave a scar?
No thanks
Bring on the uglies!

 

[RookiePick]

Gaff will be an RFA. We refuse to trade him this year if no one comes with an appropriate offer. If he is rubbish, as many BF pundits indicate, how high is someone going to go on him? Next year we can match offers and double down on the Mitch Brown...ing of his ass.

Surely our worst case scenario is an end of first round compo next year with the coin he will end up on? Unders but if he plays like he did for most of this year...maybe not.

Duggan's mum is top shelf mother material.

Am I still allowed to say that, Marc Murphy?
