He’s not setting the world on fire yet, but I’m curious to know why we didn’t keep McAdam when we selected him as a state league player. He’s a livewire small/medium forward, something we obviously need.

Because we probably only selected him knowing that Adelaide were keen on bringing him into the club.

I don't think we erred on that front, he's not much chop.

Have liked what I’ve seen of him - not that I’m saying we’ll rue the decision to trade him, but looks like he could come good over time.

The other thing to consider here is he's 25, he's not a kid who is going to improve significantly over the next few years.

He may improve marginally as he gets more experience under his belt, but what you see now is pretty much what you're going to get.

On the subject of this game, as much as I enjoy watching Collingwood lose - I’m even happier at the prospect of Adelaide going through the season without a win. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving club.
 
Rory Laird must have seen David Kings article on us chasing Zac Williams at half back. Playing some sort of game tonight, must be desperate for us to chuck him a bone and come rescue him from that shambles of a club

If the price (both picks and $$$) was right I’d love to have him at the Blues. He’s not perfect, as in he is not an accountable defender, but the run and carry he’d give us would fill a pretty desperate need.

Good spot.

Would be a smart pickup for the backline I reckon.

Still prefer Witherden, myself. We're using SPS to try and set up corridor play from the back half, which is fine, but he only ever kicks it 20-30m which makes it predictable (might be why our ball movement stagnates after qtr time in most games). Witherden can hit pinpoint passes over 50m, and keeps the kick relatively low to make it harder to defend.

But given Witherden is back in the seniors, he'll likely come at a higher cost. Cox could be a very astute grab for very little cost.
Is there a reason (injury)why sps can only kick 20-30 or Instruction , because it is a liability

Fallen/adjusted into a habit from his junior years, where he suffered ongoing hamstring and thigh stains

He is actually quick, but rarely stretches out, nor does he like to kick through the pill

Hopefully Russell will help him work through this area
 
Funny how our a Carlton draft thread is not on the front page and I just had a quick look at the Adelaide board and theirs has hit 240 or so pages.

I am glad we've progressed on from looking 24/7 at who to recruit.

If we had pick 6, who would you want to take that could realistically be available?

Papley - Swans will ask for two first rounders or a player and a top ten pick due to the contract situation, if so no thanks. But at same time though certainly be other clubs circling like Saints etc, be a real test to see how Austin is in the trade period in late October/November.

Zac Williams - Good replacement for Simpson, also read on Talking Carlton (not sure if there's any truth to it) he wants to play midfield but is pushed out due to all the stars they have in theirs, would love to have him on the team. Might stay but with Kelly and Cameron could see him being pushed out.

Big bodied midfielder to help out Cripps (Brad Crouch etc)

(Teague would certainly have an input about Adelaide players that want out, so that'd be handy)

Other than that, pretty happy with the list, just a few holes that need filling up.
