at a low pick or in the psd? why not - nothing really to lose if there isn't a player of better skill. 23 is still very young and who knows what his previous maturity levels were like.
often we forget that afl players are human, they have the same feelings and emotions that us non-afl have - just because they footballers doesn't mean that other aspects of their life disappears.
a relatively stable club like adelaide could do wonders for him. character is something that develops over time and character is developed through mistakes, trial and error. at least his problems seem surmountable - diet and grief is a lot easier to cure than alcohol problems and arrogance.
that being said, collard is an option and i believe that adelaide should use mcleod while he still haas currency.

Give him a chance and let macca and stiffy guide him.
He might be the small forward we are after

I don't rate Sampi. If the Crows were looking at a bit older small crumbing forward, I'd take Callinan from Centrals. Would do the job immediately and knows where the goals are. Would be no bigger risk than Geelong taking Stokes a couple of years ago. Similarly talented player.

Oh please, everyone knows McLeod will continue playing forever.
At 59 I could be convinced to take a punt on Sampi, by that pick the talent is going to be very thin by the sounds of things and so it probably wouldn't hurt to take a punt on either a Sampi or a Bradley. Unfortunately we have absolutely no one, (unless Mcleod, Johncock or Edwards reinvent themselves there) as a crumbing small forward. If Sampi could convince us that he is committed I would definitely take a punt. If he does turn out to be a bit of a mistake then, as a #59 draft pick we havn't lost anything really.

The only way you'd look at him would be the PSD.
Would have to roll up fit, and demonstrate committment on the track.
Otherwise why waste a pick........even if it is 59.

if sampi can convince us he's committed, then I need to speak to our guys about this great timeshare property opportunity, available only for a short time only. cash.
whether it's 59, or pick 5, the issue is why we would anyone believe him?

Just for the record, if we use 59 in the ND with our list the way it is, we won't have a pick in the PSD unless someone else is delisted. So in effect 59 and our PSD pick are pretty much one and the same. Its just whether we decide to pick a bloke up in november or december. If it was Sampi, by the sounds of things you'd want to get that extra month's training into him.

picking up sampi would be the best thing for the crows, we need more forwards, we have plenty of backs and midfielders we need people to kick goals

Exactly, I see people keep mentioning him retiring soon, its ridiculous are people forgetting who he is, are people forgetting he is Andrew bloody McLeod the no cartilage hero, he is a biological freak. Andrew McLeod will play until Andrew McLeod is bored of the game and wants to retire at the age of 40.
Heres my hot tip.
Andrew McLeod will be playing in our next premiership.
