Traded Jordan Dawson traded to Adelaide for F1 (Melb)

[Joey JoJo Jr Shabadoo]

Only bright side out of this deal for the Swans is just further re-enforcing the need for academies in non-traditional states.

Finlayson, M.Kennedy, Setterfield and Zac Williams were all GWS academy players who requested trades interstate. The academy system isn’t a solution to player retention issues.

On what basis is a 23 year old contracted tall in the best 22 of a top four club only worth a pick in the late 30's?

what do you think he is worth - considering Port are telling him to explore his options?

 

[Mofra]

NOTE: No more personal attacks. Cards will be issued on this thread for any more. Thanks

 

[rainwizard39]

Why ARE they letting him go if he is so good?

Couldn’t be because port have 3 good rucks could it?

 

[Gtowncrow]

Lol wtf.

why would port trade Ladhams for a future late pick (would be early 40’s pick after FA compo yeah?) from a premiership favourite in 2022 to help crows get dawson?

Who suggested it? A one eyed crows fan with a recent lobotomy? Why even bother reposting it here?

Or...
You can wait until Sydney are forced by Dawson to make a trade with Adelaide which will probably not work out well for Sydney and Port will be stuck with a player you've told is not required.
Calm down and keep looking for a win/win for everyone.

We told Chad Wingard to 'explore his options' too and we got Burton and Duursma for him. We told Hamish Hartlett to 'explore his options' and he came back to play another 5 years for the club. So don't act like suggesting that he explore his options suddenly makes him worthless.

He's contracted, so it's a buyer's market. Either somebody offers up a player who fills more of a need in our best 22 than Ladhams does, or he stays at Port. There's zero chance he gets traded for a pick in the late 30's, and there's less than zero chance we go out of our way to help the Crows get a Dawson deal done by trading out a contracted player for unders.

Like, even if a second rounder was all he was worth, if Ladhams wanted to go to Sydney, why wouldn't we just trade him directly to Sydney for their second rounder which will be a better pick than Melbourne's second rounder anyway? Why would we go out of our way to help the Crows get Dawson? It's completely unrealistic.

FWIW - that late 30's pick is likely to come back to more of a mid 30's pick after other picks are eaten up in bids for Darcy / Daicos and one or 2 others - it may end up being a pick 35. So it seems that it is only a few places off being what would then be reasonable - a mid 2nd rounder? I mean no one of sane mind would be expecting a 1st rounder for him so his value sits somewhere in the 2nd round so maybe a bit higher than what the Melbourne pick will be

Edit. also, its not like the 2 clubs (Crows and Port) have not traded with each other before in both players and pick swaps

There’s so many things wrong with this post..

How would a Adelaide / syd deadlock hurt port?

Saying we’ve told Ladhams he isn’t required is an exaggeration.

and In what reality would not trading Ladhams as part of a deal to help you land dawson mean that we couldn’t trade Ladhams if we wanted to?

Do Adelaide have filibuster rights? They’ll tie up every team in the leagues phone lines?

As a poster said above, if syd wanted Ladhams and Ladhams wanted to go then port would just deal with them.

Win/win. Now you're getting it.

Probably Dawson picks Port anyway and all this is just hot air.

Why are Adelaide fans so much crazier than Port fans? Port fans are actually somewhat reasonable in their trade suggestions but Adelaide fans seem to be off in the clouds.

Unfortunately trade threads tend to attract our less reasonable supporters. We so rarely trade in decent players so they tend to base it off all the times we got screwed with players leaving.

Great get for the crows. Will be interested to see what gets the trade done - I rate Dawson as easily worth a mid 1st round pick, but no chance they want to give up 4 for him.

 

[RUNVS]

Great. So instead of nominating the reasonable club Dawson nominates the club that thinks they can go into a Mercedes dealer and trade a 1998 Toyota Camry for a brand new S class.

 

[stewie griffen]

maybe so - but the reporting has suggested port have put him on the trade table (see the article above). Hence why a suggestion of possible a 3 way trade IF Dawson picked the crows. Although I am sure that the other port poster complaining above thinks he is worth pick 4 and dusty martin

The reporting lol

You are basing your argument on the opinions of the dumpster diving cretins in AFL media?

 

[Tim Evans Beard]

Will be an excellent pick up for Adelaide.

A great result for Dawson to be near loved ones during these uncertain times.

 

[philthy05]

Very good pickup for the crows. Exactly the sort of player type and age range they need.

If Seedsman can produce a similar season then him and dawson will be very good on opposing wings.

Be interesting what happens from here

well I suppose you have a point there

 

[Crow till I die]

I think it will be pick 23 forming the bulk of the trade and then maybe a future 3rd thrown in late if needed

 

[Jack Richards]

As he is out of contract, you dont really have a leg to stand on.

I think he is worth a first rounder BUT in this case I think you will be stuck with a second rounder.

 

[RUNVS]

and I think you know that is a massive rip off.

 

[Crowmurder]

Crows it is

 

[Jeremias]

That's a huge win for the Crows. Great result for them.

Very interested now to see what the deal looks like.

 

[anotherletdown]

What number was Dawson drafted?

Thats such a ridiculous statement

Who cares, what is his comparable value in this draft. That's the question

 

[Crow till I die]

and I think you know that is a massive rip off.

It may be but that is how I think it will roll. Time will tell
