Know your intentions were harmless Ferris, but as someone who has battled mental health problems for many years I'm not sure that it's an appropriate subject to make light of, and perhaps it's pertinent to use this opportunity to educate - so can I say please everyone, talk to someone, whether that be a friend, colleague, family member or even PM me if you have no one else, as soon as you have any thoughts of a megatrade occuring.

You really should pay more attention.
They're looking to trade up if possible, they're also looking at trading down if it's favourable. They've said pretty much everything in that regard so far.
There are quotes for both. They are keen to trade up into the top 3 if possible, but are otherwise entertaining shuffling pick 8 off for more picks.

Every outlet has stated their stance on trading up all trade period, because it came from them. I doubt they've changed their stance, they've just got no takers.

Crows want Zorko in a Cameron deal, surely Lions don't budge on him, gives us less bargaining power with Gibbs.
Even if that did happen, Gibbs is an entirely different kind of midfielder, and Zorko is just more of what they already have.

Do they have a speedy line-breaking mid that wins a decent amount of contested ball and kicks goals?

Adelaide's midfielders are one-paced and don't hit the scoreboard.

Over on the Adelaide board they've all blinked.

Pick 10 is now definitely on the table, and some are even suggesting that 2 x 1sts (or 16 and Cameron) is actually pretty fair. They want to keep 10 for a swipe at Fogarty.

Warning to posters. They're still really touchy over there. Post in their thread at your own risk.

My mail is that Adelaide have also requested the services of Dylan Buckley in exchange for another first rounder, however we are playing hardball #inSOSwebelieve
NB91, are you saying the crows want Buckley for a first rounder and we said no?

If that's the mail, you should return to sender. :D

Agreed but dont complain when we only 7 games for the next few seasons
We all inveriably spout revisionist history but I would never dare say one bad word about SoS trading Gibbs for 10 & 16.

I was happy with just receiving 10. For Adelaide to include another first rounder makes it unbelievable. Which is why I think it won’t happen..
