It's well known that Melbourne offered picks 2 and 3 to Adelaide for Patrick Dangerfield in the 2014 trade period, only for Adelaide to reject the deal.
Everyone knew that Dangerfield was going home to Victoria, and when he left Adelaide in 2015, they received picks 9 and 28 along with Dean Gore, for Dangerfield and pick 50.
Melbourne ended up drafting Christian Petracca and Angus Brayshaw with their picks in 2014. Petracca looks like he'll be a star and Brayshaw looks promising.
Adelaide on the other hand ended up turning their picks from the Dangerfield deal into Wayne Milera and Troy Menzel. Milera looks flaky and has question marks over whether he'll make it, while Menzel and Gore have been delisted.
I know it's easy to say in hindsight, but it looks like Adelaide screwed up badly by not accepting Melbourne's offer of picks 2 and 3.
