West AdelaideStarting the year at half-back, Dawson exploded as a wingman in the second half of the season and will bolster the Crows' ball use from next season.
You’ve finally got your overhead marking beast you were looking for, tooMidfield .....quality disposal and height, we've been looking for![]()

West AdelaideWould make a nice off season win to go with Dawson and Pick 4 etc.If Rankine has a big 2022, his price will skyrocket .....always buy low

Those corporate guys are so in the knowHave heard through a guy who is well connected corporately in Adelaide that we are offering the world to North to get Horne.
Would not surprise at all if we did make that offer - doubt North would accept anyway

We haven't offered anything and we won't be offering 4 & 8.Turn it up. What do you think we offered GC to grab Luko?

Just the 1st one.Midfield .....quality disposal and height, we've been looking for![]()
I mentioned on this thread 2-3 months agoI’d be just as happy with Callaghan than I would with JHF. So if we can get Callaghan with pick 4 I’d be stoked
West AdelaideTotally agree ....we'll still get an elite pick at #4 ....and I'll repeat, no guarantee Callaghan doesn't fall to #4I mentioned on this thread 2-3 months ago
I was told that when the team was in Melbourne Nicks had the opportunity to watch this kid play and was impressed.
It's interesting that after our round 23 win against North Nicks was asked about the win pushing us back in the draft and missing out on Hiorne, he mentioned that their was other elite mids the club was confident they could draft at pick 4

North will say No, they aren't trading pick 1 even if we offer 3 first round picks.
[/QUOTE if I were North I’d seriously consider trading with Adelaide. If they don’t he’ll just end up being targeted by Port Adelaide in a few years given his father played for them
And I posted at the time their schedules re where Nicks was on the weekends Callaghan played did not tally unless you're suggesting Nicks took a flight to Melbourne on the day before the Crows played in Adelaide or other places bar Melbourne. If he has indeed seen Callaghan play it would have been a live stream I'd think.I mentioned on this thread 2-3 months ago

Make it soWould make a nice off season win to go with Dawson and Pick 4 etc.
I think Ben Hobbs looms larger in the Crows collective mind now that Dawson is almost a lock.And I posted at the time their schedules re where Nicks was on the weekends Callaghan played did not tally unless you're suggesting Nicks took a flight to Melbourne on the day before the Crows played in Adelaide or other places bar Melbourne.

Hard pass.
Callaghan is pick 2 (outside bids) on just about every draft board, we need a miracle.
Don't need to research when you watch every game any use your usually reliable eye and good judgement, like my call on Butts in the SANFL claiming he'll make it [emoji849]Maybe try doing some research before posting ...

Rankine better have a good 2022 as his draft currency he had built up has evaporated. He's been on good money for little return but once he's on the open market his true value will be set. You can only milk the potential and go home factor card for so long. I would only consider him at the crows if he had a substantial turnaround in form and attitude. The reason Dawson was a great acquisition was because he was proven.I'd be chasing Rankine this year .....another year at the Gold Coast, and he may not be recoverable .....the baggage too large
It'll take 2 years to reprogram Rankine .....we don't want another Troy Menzel

At this point No, anyone that claims he's been anything other than a major disappointment has fair dinkum not been watching the Suns play.Not a Rankine fan?
There's a few facts missing and the devil is in the detail.These kids, particularly the Victorians have had so little exposure I think there's a real chance 2-4 could be completely different to what draft boards look like now.
Consider draft boards this time last year:

TT, Phillips and Campbell ended up much higher. Hollands & McDonald dropped.

If Dawson is a mid - does Keays drop out or do we shuffle a kid outThe Dawson decision though means that Callaghan type player isn't as essential now ......still would love to have him
Dawson isn't a hard running outside mid imo so we would want a Callaghan even more.If Dawson is a mid - does Keays drop out or do we shuffle a kid out
And does it change our strategy at 4 or do we pick for future needs given Laird and Crouch age ?
tl;dr Does getting Dawson change our selection
Wouldn't think so, don't think our rebuild is at the point we'd go needs over pure talent.If Dawson is a mid - does Keays drop out or do we shuffle a kid out
