Is he anymore a doozie than actually using our pick 12?
So posters are reading this page and posting on Facebook and we are in turn reading Facebook and posting back here.

Chuck pre in the mix and we are all likely to end up locked deep inside some internet vortex the opening to which is situated under a cats tail

This is getting dangerous

Reckon this Edwards & Grigg rumour is BS. Grigg is worth about pick 30-35 IMO. Showed loads of promise in the past. There was a stretch of games he played at the end of 2013 where we saying he had a lot of Pendlebury about him. Smooth mover in traffic, looks to have a lot of time whilst surrounded by players, very good kick. Killed it in the SANFL last year. Unfortunately he only has average pace and has been outclassed in the past against better opponents in the AFL. Regardless, really reckon he should be playing more AFL footy.

From Radelaide you have a snowballs hope in hell of getting Sloane. Brad Crouch would be a better target. Foot Injuries a worry but hes a bull. Would be perfect for us
You would have to give up two first round picks for Brad Crouch, he is very highly valued in Adelaide. Seen as the next Dangerfield. Untouchable.

You'd have to worry bout that foot though. Agreed he's a jet. Doubt you would get two firsts for him only for the concerns with the foot

I'm not sure you're right. The contract (& AFLPA) wouldn't allow him to be on less coin and if the actual payment wasn't registered then it's salary cap rorting.
He isn't on less coin, he is still being paid the same money, its just what goes into the TPP. So his contract value is in the TPP minus what would be the normal salary for a rookie. if he is upgraded then all goes into the TPP. If he didnt then that rookie salary is in the rookie list TPP. I understand it looks like a rort, and commentators have expressed the same views, but I am just telling you what was discussed on talking footy this year.

There is a good reason he beat Wines in the rising star. He is an absolute GUN. Will be Adelaides best player in a few years, without a doubt.

But yeah the leg is a worry. Cost him this whole year. Recovery wise he should be perfectly fine for day-1 of pre-season as far as I am aware so keep an eye on him.

I selected Mitch Grigg with our phantom first rounder in his draft year

I'd scramble to give you pick 31 for him. We might have that if Yarran costs what we get for Astbury

Stupid Sanderson played him as sub too often.

Local lad though and Danger leaving should open up opportunities. Beautiful kick & wins it

I think that AFL 24/7 get their rumours from these boards…..
Let's start a coordinated rumour on all the boards and see how long it takes to get picked up by the media.

I say we create a buzz around 10am tomorrow, and it'll get reported within 48 hours.

It's the only way to stop this trend from getting worse in the future... I don't like what I've become because of these threads!

Fair enough. But not valid to the argument as whatever his total contract was worth the club no longer pays and therefore becomes money that can be used elsewhere.
