Macca19, I think that getting Byron Pickett for what you did was probably the value of the trading period - he is a great player and can be a matchwinner. Would love to have him at Adelaide.

As for the Crows trading, we have got what we desperately needed in Carey, Torney allows Edwards more time in the midfield and Burns could be the surprise package in the hands of his old coach. Throw in the up and coming talent off of our rookie list and I reckon the Crows hierarchy have done a great job.

I'm very cofident that both Adelaide teams will be up there with a real chance for the flag next year.

Well said Macca(23). I think both clubs would be happy with their trading. Port got gave up less for Pickett than they got for Brooks. Port needed another hard at it player & they don't come much harder than Pickett. Cochrane may not turn out to be much, but they only gave up M Stevens, who may of been delisted anyway!

As for the Crows, once Carey stated he wanted to play for the Crows, were always going to play a small premium for him, considering our dire need for a 2nd tall forward. Ronnie is a risk, but Ayres reckons he can get the best out of him - & Finan probably wouldn't crack out side in 2003, so we haven't given up much (& brought up Mattner & Rutten for nothing!) Sugar will be a loss, but with ample midfielders, our squad has a better balance to it now (just need another young ruckman). Bring on 2003!

Zombie I think it is time for you to take your friends and leave . You need to spend more time worrying about your team than hanging around here bagging the crows at every opportunity.
I have been checking out a few threads on the main board as well and it seems it doesn't matter what the topic is you always seem to bring the crows into it....you sure you are not a closet crows barracker

IMO, the addition of Pickett does not make Port a premiership team as they've still got all those soft, front-running, finals chokers in their team.

They'll never be a premiership threat until they admit they flood and find a new finals plan as the good teams can overcome their flooding in finals matches

BTW, if Carey takes 14 marks in a match, he'll kick more than 1 goal unlike Tredders. The reason: because Carey will take his marks in the forward 50 not on the wing or half back. Port have marking forwards in Tredrea and Cornes except they don't seem to play in the forward line.

So all you Port people go back to your own board and prepare to win the preseason cup again and leave the proper premiership to the teams who know what's important in the season and have a finals plan

Zombie is ok as far as pap heads go that is,
i don't mind reading his dribble at least he doesn't go in to the dobbing syndrome like some of his tribe,
