You're not missing much. He's one of the more overrated players on Adelaide's list.

He has a fantastic highlights reel, which is why he's hyped up severely. The reality is that, when he's not doing that 1-2 spectacular things, he doesn't do nearly enough of the mundane to justify the esteem with which many of the supporters hold him.
Oh Vader. Why u do dis.. This hurts to read so many terrible words.

Btw, everybody talking about Cameron going to victoria. What does a WA lad who loves Adelaide want to do living in the big biscuit of Victoria? Let's be honest, not happening..just like McGovern and Lever.. and any other stupid player suggestion.

More and more it's becoming evident that next years trades will be involved.

Im usually the first to agree with you on overrating but not this time.

Charlie will take a bit of time given his history (or lack of it). Im actually more excited by Charlies potential than anyone else on our list.

You blokes are most welcome to spend 1.8 million on a bloke that doesnt want to be there.

The laugh will well and truly be on you clowns.

How did Mitch Clarke go at Melbourne. How did you rate Cam McCarty's season at GWS?
Just remember that Gary Buckenarra took the Hawks to court because he wanted to go to west coast, it didn't work because he had a contract .......8 years later he was still playing for the hawks

Yeah, because it's 1986.

Please. You can't really believe Gov is going to be a KPF?

Couple of inches short and 15 kegs light

He's a 3rd tall. Like Tom Lynch. Neither of them are ever going to take over from Tex. They would get annihilated if they had to play on KPDs
You do realise he is taller that modra, the greatest FF we've ever had? :drunk:

Back then they would have been giving him big paper bags full of cash under the table to keep him happy.

It's looking like the Gibb's wife and kids are moving to Adelaide whether or not he comes with them and you think the club will try keep him? no chance.

It would create a toxic environment where he resents the club, and that shit will spread through the playing group destroying loyalty.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
3 days is fine as they have been talking for weeks now.

List Managers have been working on this for 6 months now.
Potential player movements has been probably been discussed behind closed doors for as long as 12 months.

I wouldnt mind a very small 3-5 day window. 5 business days is plenty. Start on Monday 9am finish on Friday at 5pm.

Or go the other way.

Open trade week up sometime close to round 13 or 14. Have it go for 3 months and clubs who bottom out could trade a star player out to win a premiership.
