Agreed. Adelaide look likely to be extremely active at the trade table this year - with Rowe, Frampton, Crouch, Sholl and (maybe) McAsey all looking to be traded out, and Rankine coming in. Assuming pick #5 is off the table, then pick #23 seems almost certain to be involved at some point in our trade negotiations.Would not be surprised if trade away pick 23
Well yes, but i meant to say that i think we will trade it even if its not involved in a player trade.Agreed.

Sure - but imagine that we're currently at 37 plus Butts and Strachan, who's status changes from rookie to main list players this off season.
That means we're ALREADY at 39 before delistings and trades.
Just for folks to keep in mind, I guess.
I meant he’s speculative nowHe really wasn't a speculative pick though, looked a solid late 1st round early 2nd round pick after his year at Central's including good performances at League level and a dominant Nationals. Intercepting and skills were his dominant assetts

Gold Coast life style and lack of development.He was a good player for Centrals and for SA in his draft year. Dunno what went wrong.
Agree not a need?
Unless McLennan has changed a lot in his time up at the Suns that is definitely not the McLennan that got drafted, high character and leadership that saw him vice Captain the SA U18's.
Just don't see his type as a need, probably goes back to Central's and tries to get back on an AFL list via the SANFL or perhaps the Sharks in the VFL.
We need to trade contracted players in order to achieve our expected list changes - but that's not "desperate for list spots". Presumably the club is aware of these players' plans, and have been working with their management to find new homes for them for a while now.
While we're not "desperate for list spots", we certainly don't need/want to waste spots on speculative DFAs or other BF fantasy moves.
People keep assuming that we're planning on getting pick 5 + Keeler + Michelanney. At most, we're likely to get two of those.
Actually, we only have 2 on the senior list - Rowe & Frampton. Turner is on the rookie list, as are all MSD selections.
Being "desperate for list spots" means that we need to be careful about how we choose to fill them, and it makes it increasingly unlikely that we'd waste a position on a DFA.If you need to trade contracted players to meet your minimum, you are desperate for list spots. Doesn't matter what people plan as the club has lost all leverage in this situatuon.
I kind of agree, though there is a caveat to it. You could absolutely take on a DFA eligible player as a rookie pick and really, it's something we should be considering, seeing our list profile.
Yeah I really couldn't remember if Turner was main or rookie. Makes the situation a bit more perilious.
Possibly Crouch and McAsey as wellSo Rowey saying Borlase and Newchurch getting another year at today's exit meetings
Rowe and Billy likely gone?
Given outside the main list it's not surprising.So Rowey saying Borlase and Newchurch getting another year at today's exit meetings
Rowe and Billy likely gone?
Pretty happy about this , they both deserve another year.So Rowey saying Borlase and Newchurch getting another year at today's exit meetings
Rowe and Billy likely gone?

Yes, I think these 4 will exit AFC.Possibly Crouch and McAsey as well
Rowe, Frampton, Davis plus one of Crouch/McAsey outPossibly Crouch and McAsey as well
Davis is on the rookie list, so his departure doesn't create a space for Rankine/5/Michalanney (or Butts/Strachan).I think one of these two will stay, Sholl too.
Rowe, Frampton, Davis plus one of Crouch/McAsey out
Rankine, pick 5, Michalanney in
Pick 23 will be traded out, perhaps for 2023 picks. We will need to replace 5-6 players at the end of next season.
I really need to get my head around our numbers…..Davis is on the rookie list, so his departure doesn't create a space for Rankine/5/Michalanney (or Butts/Strachan).
No current season stats available
Liam Stocker anyone, 184 midfielder on rookie list?
Our current rookies are Davis, Strachan, Butts, Parnell, Murray and Turner with Borlase and Newchurch listed as Category B rookies.. Crows can delist Davis and upgrade Strachan and Butts to the Senior List which gives the Crows 3 rookie spots for 2023.I really need to get my head around our numbers…..
Perhaps Seedsman moves to the Rookie List for admin purposes?
I think we'll go into the draft with two picks before 25, and some points to grab Michalanney after that.What I'm suggesting is that we almost certainly won't be making 3 selections at the ND - a maximum of 2 is highly likely, and only 1 is a strong possibility.
The club (or its representatives) have noted the need for a top-flite midfielder with pick #5, so it's highly likely that we'll be getting Keeler or Michelanney, but not both.
While we currently have pick #23, there's a very good chance that we won't by draft day. We'll probably be trading in Rankine and trading out 5 players. No doubt there will be draft picks included in many of those trades, and pick #5 is probably off the table - so pick #23 is likely to be involved. I suspect we'll try to end up with 1x 2nd round pick, and use any other picks we have leftover to improve our hand in the 2023 ND.
Given where our draft picks will be, and our lack of senior list vacancies, it's quite possible that we don't even bother nominating Michelanney as a F/S selection anyway. We're likely to be out of the draft by the time his name is called, and it's unlikely that he'll make it through to the RD - so there's probably not a lot of point in nominating him in the first place.
