Question is who will be brave enough to Don the seemingly cursed #6 next year.?

Since Modra its been filled by Byrne, Nelson, Fergus Watts, Griffin, Gunston, Luke Thompson, Lever, Gibbs, Hately.

Not many legacy players in that bunch.
 
Remember when Hately was considered a big get and proof that Adelaide were a destination club again.

No? I remember him being a classic case of "first round pick that underdelivered and now wants to return to his home state". The feeling was we were getting him at a bargain basement price because he had failed to deliver, and maybe he could turn it around from the comfort of home but nobody was very confident.

In any event, all four delistings are obviously sensible decisions. No point in keeping any of them around clogging up our list when we've actually got some decent draft capital this year.

Unless a high-quality backman falls into our lap in the trade period for next to nothing, I'd prefer to just keep Borlase. He's fine, shouldn't cost us much, and will be replaced once Murray returns anyway.

Just don’t give it to our FRP please lol
 
I’m not assuming anything re how the draft pick turns out. So FA is now a sim management game? Clubs don’t wait till FA to acquire players free of draft capital now? I guess I missed the bit where players are routinely traded for 1 year from being on the FA market. You’re not a teenager are you?

Considering how often my body makes noises from basic movements I bloody wish I was.

I just don't see the point of waiting around, if we win a flag noone will care about the finesse of the moves, plus memberships go up with each big signing as would the belief of the players. I just think there is a lot of good to come from it than just draft capital.

Not sure why a few folk here are getting stiffy's over Petty.

He's just done a linsfranc that Melbourne described as substantial and will require considerable rehab. But they're confident he'll ok "in the long run".

Haven't we already got enough players with long term injuries?

Including Taylor and Jones, who are also both happen to be recovering from linsfranc injuries. And some players are just never the same
 
Are you ITK or is it just IMO? If we turn McAdam leaving to Petty and losing only one of our 2nd rounder :)
I dont have many of these but I believe this one to be true its not an opinion. I have no idea what we are giving up for Petty but I believe he is leaving demons.

It wont be macadam I suspect that may be part of a separate 3 way trade which may involve grundy and hayward as reported

So are you telling us there's a possible straight swap with just McAdam......

Doedee and Borlase our only OOC players now.

I remember some in the media when we signed on Sloane saying we had plenty of list spots. It doesn't look that way. Two main list spots and three Rookies.

Himmelberg would create a spot but I feel we would need to replace him with a depth Ruck / forward. We also need to keep Borlase or get another key defender.

I would be shocked if a club isn't offering Gollant three years.
 
Hang on .. I can't keep up .. I thought we were getting Hayward in a 3 way with Melbourne and Sydney🤷‍♂️
I think it’s fair to say the only rumour with genuine legs right now is Chol

The others have only been reported once, or have been from various C-grade sources
